Hayes is a member of the fictional boy band August Moon and performs their songs in the film.
In the movie, you would have to believe that this band is real.
In creating the songs, I didnt want to write movie songs.
I wanted these songs to be competitive.
Funny enough, some of the songs started getting radio play, Kotecha said.
Radio stations were like, We need the band.
August Moon did live again.
After the release ofThe Idea of You, the cast recorded one more song that Kotecha wrote.
Its an August Moon song.
Kotecha worked with director Michael Showalter in developing the songs and observing the casting process.
Galitzine stood out among the other contenders.
That guy could be a pop star if he wanted to in a day, Kotecha said.
When I heard Nicks voice, it was just like hearing any of the big artists I worked with.
He has a fantastic tone.
Eric Vetro worked with him, this amazing vocal coach that just helped stretch him more.
It was just a great tool to paint with.
Kotecha said What Makes You Beautiful was inspired by his wife when they first met.
For August Moon, he took inspiration from the story of the film.
It was really their relationship that inspired it.
