2023 song by Meryl Streep and Ashley Park
“Look for the Light” is a song from the third season of the Hulu comedy-drama television series Only Murders in the Building, performed by special-guest star Meryl Streep (as Loretta Durkin) and backing vocals by Ashley Park (as Kimber Min).
John Robert Hoffman, the creator of Only Murders in the Building alongside lead actor Steve Martin, had previously hired Benj Pasek and Justin Paul to compose the songs for the third season of the show. Pasek and Paul signed on the condition that they would be able to work with Broadway songwriters.[3] Pasek and Paul decided to collaborate with Into The Woods stage lyricist Sara Bareilles to write Look for the Light.[2] This collaboration was mutually desirable for the three songwriters.[4] Look for the Light was composed specifically for Meryl Streep’s voice, who was first shown the song over a video call on Zoom.[2][5]
