BLACKPINK's Jennie has written and performs "Someone to Hold" for Steps, Netflix Animation's new take on Cinderella. Netflix confirmed the collaboration on October 15, ahead of the film's November 20, 2026 premiere.
Jennie described it as her first song for an animated film. Netflix says the track captures the bond between the sisters at the center of the story.
Where to hear "Someone to Hold"
A preview is already included in the official Steps trailer. The companion soundtrack is scheduled for November 20, the same date as the film.
Netflix's soundtrack announcement also links to the official pre-save page, titled Steps (Soundtrack from the Netflix Film), for listeners who want to save the release before it arrives.
A Cinderella story told through the stepsisters
Steps follows Lilith, who steals the Fairy Godmother's wand and disrupts the royal ball with her sister Margot. When the scheming Priscilla takes control of the kingdom, Lilith has to work with Cinderella to put things right.
The film gives the stepsisters a story beyond their familiar role as Cinderella's rivals. Director Alyce Tzue describes its central idea as two very different sisters discovering how much they have in common, with belonging and their relationship driving the adventure.
Ali Wong voices Lilith, Stephanie Hsu voices Margot and Amanda Seyfried voices Cinderella. Tzue and John Ripa direct the film.
The original songs on the soundtrack
Netflix has announced four new songs for the film:
| Song | Performer |
|---|---|
| "Someone to Hold" | Jennie |
| "Meet Me on the Dance Floor" | Rose Gray |
| "Smile and a Song" | Amanda Seyfried as Cinderella |
| "Understudy" | EMEI |
Justin Tranter worked on the original music as a songwriter and producer, while Kris Bowers composed the film's score.
