Song One is a 2014 American romantic drama film written and directed by Kate Barker-Froyland in her directorial debut.

The film stars Anne Hathaway, Johnny Flynn, Ben Rosenfield, and Mary Steenburgen.

In the film, Franny Ellis returns home to New York City after her brother Henry enters a coma.

She returns to her home in New York City after finding out that her brother Henry, a musician, is in a coma after getting hit by a car.

[4][5] However, after Anne Hathaway (30 years old at the time) expressed her wish to play her, Barker-Froyland rewrote the part to be that of an older woman, which she said worked well for the script as it gave Franny more reason to not want to be a musician.

[6] Hathaway's previous film Les Misérables required her to adopt a shorter hairstyle than usual; rather than have her regrow the hair, the director incorporated it into the script.

[8] Barker-Froyland met with the duo in Los Angeles and, after she listened to "Little Yellow Dress" before her plane ride to New York, decided that they would create the songs that Flynn would perform in-character.

[3] Later, the film opened in a limited release on January 23, 2015, with $20,200 in gross sales generated from 27 theaters in the United States.

The site's critical consensus reads, "Song One has plenty of earnest charm, but that isn't enough to overcome its slight, familiar story.

"[12] The aggregator Metacritic gives the film a score of 48 out of 100, based on 23 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
