For the closing song ofThe Last Showgirl,Andrew WyattandLykke Liwrote Beautiful This Way with Miley Cyrus.
In theRoadside Attractionsfilm, Pamela Anderson plays a veteran showgirl confronted with her future when her show closes.
This is about people whove been through quite a lot of phases in their life.
But Wyatt had independently been having similar reflective conversations with his friend Li.
Life is in a totally different phase now so we used to talk about that.
Li is in her 30s but could recognize shes come far enough that her life is different now.
Its not so much aging I find, also the melancholy, the time passing.
I wanted to find the symbol for female beauty in a way.
Thats when we came to the rose.
A rose is very vital, romantic, but it also withers.
For the actual sound of the song, Wyatt looked to musicians of the past.
I wanted it to have a little bit of a Patsy Cline thing or something with this.
Check out the panel video above.
