GIRLS LIKE GIRLS is in US theaters now
LOS ANGELES, CA – June 26th 2026 – Back Lot Music announces the release of Focus Features’ GIRLS LIKE GIRLS Original Motion Picture Score with music by composer Jessica Rose Weiss. Based on writer/director Hayley Kiyoko’s hit single and best-selling novel of the same name, GIRLS LIKE GIRLS is a heartfelt coming-of-age story set over the course of one sun-drenched summer, where new-girl-in-town Coley falls in love for the first time while learning to accept herself along the way. The film is in US theaters now, and the score album composed by Jessica Rose Weiss, is available everywhere digital music is sold and streamed. A compilation soundtrack featuring new music by Kiyoko is available from One Riot Music now.
Jessica notes, “I was so honored to write the score for Hayley Kiyoko’s beautiful and very personal film GIRLS LIKE GIRLS. I was also humbled to be asked to collaborate with her as a songwriter and producer on many of the songs featured in the film. Hayley is a true artist and an authentic spirit, and her tenacity and willingness to share her story allowed me to meet her at the depths of her experience and find a way to create a musical voice for her journey.”
ABOUT JESSICA ROSE WEISS
Jessica Rose Weiss is a composer, songwriter, and producer based in Los Angeles whose music blends the emotional depth of orchestral storytelling with electronic, folk, and classical influences to create a style that is both cinematic and deeply human. She recently composed the score for Girls Like Girls, the directorial debut from Hayley Kiyoko, and also co-wrote the original song “Falling Through” for the film. This project places her at the forefront of a new generation of composers redefining the sound of modern film and television.
Her credits include Cinderella, which became the #1 streaming film worldwide and earned her a BMI Award, Canary Black, No Hard Feelings, American Horror Stories, and The Kill Room. She worked on Swifties, a documentary about Taylor Swift superfans whose lives were transformed by the Eras Tour.
Earlier credits include Dog Gone Trouble, Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter About Men, Friendsgiving, Afterlife of the Party, Into the Now, and Still Working 9 to 5.
Her love of music began in her youth while studying ballet and theatre in New York City, eventually leading her to Warner Bros. Studios in London, where she was recruited by Hans Zimmer to apprentice at Remote Control Productions. After honing her craft as a music editor and additional composer, she found a pivotal mentorship under Academy Award–winning composer Mychael Danna.
An alumna of the Universal/DreamWorks Composers Initiative and a proud member of the Alliance for Women Film Composers, Jessica has had her music performed on stages around the world — from The Globe Theatre in London to The Joffrey Ballet in Chicago to The Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles.

ABOUT GIRLS LIKE GIRLS
It’s summer in small-town Oregon circa 2006, where quiet, pensive Coley (Maya da Costa) has moved to live with her estranged father Curtis (Zach Braff). Biking down backroads, flannel shirt tied at the waist, Coley stops to cool off at the Cherry Pit, where she encounters the charismatic Sonya (Myra Molloy), her on-again/off-again boyfriend Trenton (Levon Hawke), and their friend group. Content to observe from a distance, Coley is pulled into their world and flirtation blossoms between the new girl and the popular girl in a relatable coming-of-age story about first love and self acceptance.
