When followers of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Daisy Jones & The Six watch the brand new batch of episodes this week, they’ll lastly be capable of see—and listen to—the track “Remorse Me” come to life. An integral title (and, let’s be trustworthy, diss observe) within the band’s discography, the angsty composition options singers Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne exchanging barbs that mirror their private relationship outdoors of the studio.
Grammy winner Blake Mills, the chief producer for authentic music on the collection, co-wrote the track with Chris Weisman, and had Sam Claflin and Riley Keough carry out their very own vocals as Billy and Daisy. It’s a punchy pop-rock observe that makes use of solely completely different lyrics from those Reid wrote out in the back of her novel. However the creator, who can also be an government producer on the present, welcomed modifications for the entire songs.
“What we didn’t do is, we didn’t wish to give them the lyrics to the e-book as a result of we had been coping with these unbelievable songwriters,” government producer and co-showrunner Scott Neustadter tells ELLE.com. “And Taylor was like, ‘I don’t need them to be handcuffed to jot down songs to my work. Allow them to write the songs themselves.’ So the entire songs play the identical narrative features within the present that they do within the e-book, however the lyrics are completely different.”

Fortunately, Mills was capable of faucet some well-known collaborators for the challenge. “He had all of those associates that will simply come out and in of Sound Metropolis [Studios] and he would say to them, ‘You wish to write a track at this time?’ And Marcus Mumford and Phoebe Bridgers and Jackson Browne and all these guys contributed music and it was superb,” Neustadter says.
When it got here to “Remorse Me,” the sound modified too. “Within the e-book, that’s slightly extra of a rock track than I believe our completed model is,” Neustadter provides. For instance, within the novel, Eddie praises the track’s gritty vibe. “It was rock ‘n’ roll!” he says. “It was rage, man. She thrashed.” Karen describes Daisy’s voice as “guttural” and provides, “It was an indignant track. And he or she was indignant singing it.” Even Billy, who disapproves of the track, finally ends up describing it as “exhausting and quick and uncooked.”
When it got here to bringing the track to the display, and recording cubicles, Mills selected to maintain the title as-is. “He appreciated the title of the track,” says Neustadter. “After which [he] wrote a track that was principally from her perspective. However I do suppose it’s slightly sunnier in our present than the novel. However it was only a nice hook.”
That’s partly due to Daisy’s writing model, no less than within the collection. Her sound earlier than becoming a member of the band is “extra singer-songwritery,” with influences like Joni Mitchell and Carole King, Neustadter says. “After which when she meets the band, they get slightly poppier. They get slightly rockier. And that’s Billy’s affect on her. And the identical factor with The Dunne Brothers. They’re writing these quite simple rock and roll songs, ‘Look Me In The Eye’…However then when Daisy comes alongside, the songs get elevated. And so we actually wished to ensure that the viewers can observe that. So ‘Remorse Me’ might be the poppiest track that Daisy writes, however it additionally has an underbelly of anger in the direction of Billy in it, and that’s simply actually enjoyable.”

In each the novel and present, Daisy sings the track for the band, and everybody votes to place it on the album—besides Billy.
“That’s clearly a really impactful track. Billy’s very reluctant to sing it as a result of it’s about him and his points,” Claflin tells ELLE.com. He even likens it to “Silver Springs” by Fleetwood Mac, whose turbulent historical past impressed Reid to jot down Daisy Jones & The Six.
