Music and Lyrics is a 2007 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Marc Lawrence. It focuses on the relationship that evolves between a former pop music idol (of the fictional band PoP!, similar to Wham! and Duran Duran) and an aspiring writer as they struggle to compose a song for the reigning pop diva.


Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant) enjoyed considerable fame in the 1980s in the band PoP! but after they disbanded, his songwriting partner Colin Thompson became a popular solo act while Alex's own career nosedived. He supported himself by reprising his old hits for middle-aged fans, but even these minor opportunities are slowly drying up. Alex is given a chance at a comeback when teen star Cora Corman (Haley Bennett) commissions him to write a song called "Way Back Into Love" for her new CD leaving him only days to fulfill her request. However, Alex's forte is composing music; he always relied on Colin to supply the lyrics.


During an unsuccessful attempt at a collaboration, Alex discovers that Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore), who waters his plants, has a gift for writing lyrics. Sophie, a former creative writing student reeling from a disastrous romance with her former English professor, Sloan Cates (Campbell Scott) initially refuses. Alex cajoles her into helping him by using a few quickly-chosen phrases she has given him as the basis for a song. Over the next few days, they write "Way Back Into Love", growing closer, much to the delight of Sophie's older sister Rhonda (Kristen Johnston), a huge fan of Alex.
