Elvis Costello has shared a new single called ‘You Shouldn’t Look At Me That Way‘.
The new track was recorded for the soundtrack of the new movie Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool which is based on Peter Turner‘s memoir about his life with actress Gloria Grahame. As the film title suggests the movie is set in Liverpool in 1978 and stars Jamie Bell and Annette Bening. ‘You Shouldn’t Look At Me That Way‘ was written, orchestrated and performed by Costello.

“‘You Shouldn’t Look At Me That Way’ is a song dealing with two people who have a lot of secrets,” Costello explained to The Independent, who premiered the track. “They were in a relationship and perhaps had difficulty seeing each other as they really were.”
“All lovers have secrets,” He continued. “One lover has some vanity but also a lot of vulnerability. The title really came from that. It could refer to a seductive gaze but also a plea not to be judged.”
Costello’s last album, Wise Up Ghost, was a collaboration with the Roots and was released back in 2013. His memoir was released back 2015.
