Read our privacy policy Florence Pugh has released her first music as a singer-songwriter – the songs “I Hate Myself” and “The Best Part”. “It was unbelievably helpful and hard; I wanted a song to reflect the self-hatred she had for herself in a way that the audience can truly understand.” “The Best Part” is an ambient release featuring apologies for a “weak heart” On “I Hate Myself”, against a mournful piano tune, Pugh sings: “And I want days of pain/ Oh, to feel the things I need/ To pay off this shame/ And I know that makes me broken/ I know that makes me weak/ I guess I’ll put my armour back on now.” In the movie, Pugh plays a promising musician called Allison whose life unravels after she survives a major tragedy. I was like, ‘I’ve gotta write something for her.’” Florence Pugh in ‘A Good Person' A Good Person’s soundtrack also features songs by the Velvet Underground and Fenne Lily, and the score was written by the National’s Bryce Dessner.
