Netflix shared some details about the upcoming 47-track Steps Soundtrack. They also released Jennie’s “Someone to Hold” as a single.
Keep reading to learn more about the soundtrack and its single, including where you can find them.
Netflix Released a Single, Then Some Details on the Steps Soundtrack
It’s once again time to take our Steps into the holiday movie season. First up is a new retelling of the Cinderella tale, and this time it’s from the perspective of one of the stepsisters.
And yes, I’m obviously talking about Netflix’s upcoming animated Steps film, which is dropping November 20, 2026. But it isn’t releasing alone, since the soundtrack is coming with it.
This Steps Soundtrack will feature 47 tracks of songs and selections from the original score by Kris Bowers. It will also feature Justin Tranter, who wrote all the original songs. Then, there are the guest performers:
- Jennie (of the South Korean girl group Blackpink)
- EMEI
- Rose Gray
- Amanda Seyfried (the voice of Cinderella)
Netflix is releasing the soundtrack digitally with the film, as I have said. You may also pre-order it from some music services (such as Amazon) before its official release on November 20.
The “Someone to Hold” Single from the Steps Soundtrack
However, we don’t have to wait until November 20 to sample the Steps Soundtrack. And it’s because Netflix has already released the single “Someone to Hold” by Jennie. So, you’ll find it on most digital music services. However, I provided a few suggestions below if you need them.
My Casual Review of “Someone to Hold”
All things considered, “Someone to Hold” is a decent pop song. I’m not familiar with Jennie’s singing, but it certainly sounds like a K-pop track.
It’s pretty generic beyond that, though. I swear I’ve heard the melody somewhere else, and it’s rather simple in tone and texture. But that could be Jennie’s style since she’s decent enough to carry the track on her own.
However, it’s not that much of a soundtrack song either. That’s because there’s nothing that says it’s from the Steps Soundtrack. It does work as a standalone K-pop track, though, which might be how it was written. But I prefer my soundtrack music to be soundtrack music.
The Music Video
The same basically goes with the music video (which I provided below) as well. Well, one of them at least, since there are two.
Jennie released the “official” video herself. It’s basically a typical pop music video with everything you’d expect from the genre. But it only has like one or two clips from the film.
However, you want the Netflix one. It generally leans more into its relationship with Steps. However, it’s more of a lyric video than an actual music video. It’s also just the lyrics overlaid on simple backgrounds. Cropped scenes from the film are then overlaid on top of that. Then, there’s an animated Jennie performing the track.
What is the Steps Movie
As I have said, Netflix’s Steps retells the Cinderella story. Therefore, it follows Lilith, one of the stepsisters, who steals the Fairy Godmother’s magic wand. She then uses it to hijack the Royal Ball with her other sister, Margot.
However, Priscilla, a villainous schemer, steals the wand from the sisters to take the Ball and the Prince for herself. Now, Lilith must team up with Cinderella to save themselves and the kingdom from her.
Alyce Tzue and John Ripa directed this animated comedy adventure with the voices of:
- Seyfried as Cinderella
- Ali Wong as Lilith
- Stephanie Hsu as Margot
- Daniel Radcliffe as The Prince
- Nikki Glaser as Priscilla
- Bette Midler as The Fairy Godmother
- Young Mazino
- Peter Dinklage
Netflix will release the film digitally and in select theaters on November 20, just in time for you to enjoy the Steps Soundtrack.

Final Thoughts
I like the overall concepts behind the Steps Soundtrack. The film has an interesting premise that generally lends itself to musical theatre. However, only time will tell whether it delivers on those promises. “Someone to Hold” is a decent start, though. However, I don’t think it was the best single to lead with.
But that’s just my opinion. So, what’s yours? Post your thoughts in the forums below or on social media.
You should then subscribe or bookmark this page so you can read my full review when the soundtrack drops.
