Comments: | Our first lyrical draft of "Something About Her" was based on Edward's quizzical observation of Vivian in the hotel room, after they'd agreed to the initial payment of $300 for one night: "Look at her she's happy, she's pretty and she's fun". That lyric remained in place for a year or more, until director Jerry Mitchell decided the song should be more about how Edward feels, rather than a mere observation. Hence the new opening line: "I don't know how I got here, she took me by surprise ...". When Bryan recorded the song himself (a few years after the cast album was recorded) we reinstated the original opening lyric. |
