On the latest episode of Hulu's 'Only Murders in the Building', Meryl Streep and Ashley Park teamed up on 'Look for the Light,' a song written by Sara Bareilles in collaboration with 'Dear Evan Hansen' powerhouses Benj Pasek and Justin Paul
last week that she relished the chance to"tailor" the song to Streep's"strengths There was so much tenderness in [Meryl’s] vulnerability. She let that speak through her singing.”
Pasek and Paul agree. "Her performance in this number is equal parts emotional, tender, vulnerable and filled with her signature quiet strength," they tell PEOPLE. "It's incredibly unoriginal but nonetheless very true to say that when the opportunity to work with Meryl comes along, you just jump." Bareilles also told PEOPLE in a statement that the "invitation" to join such a "joyful and undeniable" collaboration was a no-brainer.and of Pasek & Paul, so the idea of writing together for the first time, especially to offer something to someone like Meryl Streep truly felt like a dream," she said.
She said of working with the actresses, "Meryl was gentle and focused, and I loved her musicality and her willingness to share her process. Ashley Park’s glorious counter melody was added later, and I got goosebumps the first time I heard it. It truly couldn’t have been a more seamless experience- how lucky am I to be a part of it!”
