Rewrite the Stars comes from the 2017 musical film The Greatest Showman, where Zac Efron's Phillip Carlyle and Zendaya's Anne Wheeler sing it during a trapeze rehearsal that mirrors their forbidden romance. Written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the song became one of the film's most streamed tracks and a favourite for fan videos, covers and social media edits. Its message about defying expectations and choosing love over convention keeps it in regular use for romantic compilations, audition reels and inspirational montages years after the film's release.
