Australia director and writer, Baz Luhrmann recently let slip in an interview with Variety that Kacey Musgraves covers Can’t Help Falling In Love on the upcoming soundtrack of the biopic of Elvis Presley. 

When asked by Variety‘s Marc Malkin, Luhrmann coyly revealed, “She has a song in the movie… something to do with love.”


While details on the soundtrack have been hard to come by before now, the news that Musgraves is involved is further indication that the album may include a lot of material from singers who are not part of the film’s cast. The first single from the album, Doja Cat’s Vegas, which incorporates elements from Presley’s hit Hound Dog, will be out this Friday.

The upcoming biopic, Elvis, stars Austin Butler, Tom Hanks and Helen Thomson and is scheduled for a theatrical release in Australia on June 22 and in the United States on June 24.
