  • I recently saw “Back of the Net” and there’s a song I really love that has the following lyrics:

    “don’t matter who we are, don’t matter where we go, don’t matter what we do,… We’ll give it all we got, We’ll do it from the heart…Gather around, all together now…”

    I think it’s called “Give It All We Got”.
    Do you know where I can purchase this song? I can’t find it anywhere.

  • Hi Ms. Little

    Watched the trailer of “Never Too Late (2020)” and I just can’t get over a particular track that played in the background. Is there a link to the OST of that movie where I can buy the music from?

  • Thanks so much Monika! You can find the soundtrack of ‘Back of the Net’ on Spotify!

  • Hi Prashant, you can buy the OST to Never Too Late on all major digital platforms! There is also a physical release coming soon on CD 🙂

  • I’ve just finished watching A Stitch In Time and the score is absolutely sublime…Congratulations!
