In an IndieWire interview, composer Scott Bomar spoke about Diamond's guitarist Richard Bennett.

“When [Richard] came in and played on all the Neil Diamond songs, it was incredible. Every guitar part sounded like a record. I attribute a lot of the great feedback we’ve been getting to what Richard contributed.”

He then spoke about Kate Hudson.

“Kate came in very warmed up because she’d recently made her album ‘Glorious’ and had played a couple of festivals. Not just anyone can do justice to a Patsy Cline song, but Kate has natural vocal ability and a natural feel. She’s really got it.”

The film was released on December 25, 2025.
