4*Town

4*Town Biography by Marcy Donelson Turning Red [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] The boy band that features prominently in the plot of Disney-Pixar's Turning Red (2022), 4*TOWN summons the slick, harmonized, lovesick pop of bands like Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, and O-Town that permeated the airwaves by the time of the film's setting of 2002. The Billboard 200-charting soundtrack's three original 4*TOWN songs were penned by Billie Eilish and FINNEAS. A coming-of-age story about a Chinese-Canadian girl, Meilin, Turning Red's dramatic climax involves a concert by fictional teen boy band 4*TOWN. Three songs -- "Nobody Like U," "True Love," and "U Know What's Up" -- were recorded for the soundtrack by the voice lineup of FINNEAS, Jordan Fisher, Josh Levi, Topher Ngo, and Grayson Villanueva, who delivered the melodic earworms in tandem with playfully corny lyrics. The songs were written by the sibling songwriting team of FINNEAS and Billie Eilish. Bolstered by the popularity of these throwback pop tunes, the Turning Red soundtrack, which also included Ludwig Göransson's original score, peaked at number 87 on the Billboard 200.
