According to Rolling Stone, in the movie, “Love Myself” is sung by Ross’ lead character Grace Davis, an aging music icon who is warned by her advisors not to release new music because she is past her prime.
However, Davis’ assistant, played Dakota Johnson is an aspiring music producer who encourages her employer to disregard her naysayers and keep pursuing her dreams. Due to COVID-19 shutdowns, both The High Note and its soundtrack will be released on May 29th. Fans will be able to watch the film at home through Video On Demand platforms.
