Pre-order the Soundtrack for The Beach Boys.
As with the legendary band’s music, “Baby Blue Bathing Suit” is rife with irresistible hooks that transport listeners to a world of surf, sand, and an endless summer.
The song will be included on The Beach Boys: Music From The Documentary (Capitol/UMe), the official soundtrack for the forthcoming documentary The Beach Boys. The film is set to be released on Disney+ on May 24.
Below, check out the accompanying video, which was shot in Sydney, Australia by two-time Aria award-winning director James Chappell.
Regarding the track, Stephen Sanchez said: “I was floored when The Beach Boys’ team reached out to me about being featured on the film’s soundtrack—it’s truly an honor to be a part of this project and I have so much respect for the band and their musical legacy.
“Endless Summer was one of the first vinyls my Grandpa gave me as a kid. Recording the song was equally incredible—I got to work with Dan Nigro and Amy Allen to write the track, and I recorded the vocals when I was in London at the iconic Abbey Road Studios. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”
Dan Nigro added: “I would not be the songwriter I am today if it weren’t for The Beach Boys. Being asked to write this song for the documentary is honestly a dream come true.”
Amy Allen shared: “The Beach Boys inspired me from the first time my dad put on the Pet Sounds CD in the car when I was 8 years old, and still inspire me today as I continue to learn from their chord progressions, intricate harmonies, and their timeless songwriting in general.
“The impact The Beach Boys have had on pop music is truly remarkable and unparalleled and I feel very beyond grateful to have made this song in their honor with Dan and Stephen.”
