Sara Bareilles Shares “If I Dare” From New Movie, ‘Battle Of The Sexes’
Sara Bareilles has been out of the pop music spotlight for a few years, but she’s back now with her first single since 2015. She wrote “If I Dare” for the new film, Battle Of The Sexes, in theaters September 22nd. The movie portrays tennis players Billie Jean King (played by Emma Stone) and Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) and their iconic 1973 tennis match. Its backdrop is the dawning of the women’s movement and the sexual revolution, and Sara’s new song brings out these themes beautifully.
“If I Dare” starts off with percussive sung “do do do” and finger snaps, slowly building up as piano, strings, and drums join in. Sara declares her own strength and self-worth, affirming that she doesn’t need help or pity. If she goes for it, she knows she’ll have it in the end. “If I Dare” is a captivating song that once again affirms Sara’s skill for empowering anthems.
