Tom Petty recorded an entire soundtrack album for which Edward Burns movie?

Tom Petty recorded the soundtrack album Songs and Music from the Motion Picture “She’s the One” for Edward Burns’s 1996 film She’s the One. Although credited to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the record functions as both a soundtrack and a full-length studio album.

Burns wrote and directed the romantic comedy, which starred Burns alongside Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Mike McGlone, and John Mahoney. Rather than assembling a conventional collection of unrelated movie songs, Petty created an album centered on original material performed with the Heartbreakers. Rick Rubin and guitarist Mike Campbell co-produced the project with Petty.

The album includes “Walls (Circus),” “Climb That Hill,” “Angel Dream,” and “Grew Up Fast.” It was released in August 1996 and reached No. 15 on the Billboard 200. A common source of confusion is the title: She’s the One is both the film’s name and the album’s familiar shortened title, while the original record was formally titled Songs and Music from the Motion Picture “She’s the One.” A revised version, Angel Dream, was released in 2021.
