    Full song avaliable now on Spotify (Indonesia)
    Back to Life - from "Bumblebee"

    The song is catchy, but I'm expecting something like this:

    Sound more fitting with the time period

    Since it's already available in some countries, MP3s are starting to pop up on some websites. Obviously I won't link to them, but they're not too hard to find.

    I thought the song was okay. On its own it's a fine song, probably even one of my more well-liked Hailee Steinfeld songs (which honestly isn't saying a lot, since I've always found her music kind of average). As a song that's part of the movie, I have mixed feelings:

    On one hand, it doesn't sound horribly inappropriate. Think of it this way...The Neverending Story has a distinctively '80s sounding song during the credits, yet it doesn't sound terribly dated today. It's somewhat timeless. This kind of feels the same way. It's recognizable as a 2010s pop song, but it's not necessarily out of place here.

    On the other hand...would it have really been that hard to create a song that sounds like something that could have existed in the '80s? Just pair Hailee with Stan Bush, who practically still writes '80s songs today. Is Stan Bush too on-the-nose? Well, pair her with anyone else who wrote songs during the '80s. Pair her with Rick Astley, or Joan Jett. In a way it feels a bit...lazy. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a ton of work went into creating this song, but the vision behind it feels lazy. They could have had a lot more fun with this.

    Certainly not Hailee's best song and certainly not the best song in a Transformers movie BUT I like it a lot. Something about this song reminds me of the 80s electronic tracks. I think that's what they were going for. To be honest, this song is million times better than the crap we got for TLK. At least I'll remember this as a song featured on a Transformers movie, TLK one on the other hand... I forgot what the song was even called.

    I may be biased here, but I'd prefer Owl City's Honey and the Bee, even just a side track to the Bumblebee Movie:
