Emma Stone Reveals the Story Behind "Good Luck, Babe" in "Bugonia"

Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons discuss the notable music choices in their film "Bugonia", including songs by Chappell Roan and Green Day.

Emma Stone's character in "Bugonia" is a high-powered CEO who lip-syncs to Chappell Roan's "Good Luck, Babe" in her car, a relatable moment in the film. According to Stone, using the song "just felt so right".

She — or her team — was amazing and approved this song within 24 hours of us asking, which was really great, because we needed to shoot the scene, like, two days later. That was just good luck, babe.

Another significant music choice in the film is Green Day's "Basket Case", which Jesse Plemons' character Teddy listens to during a pivotal scene. This choice came about through discussions on set.
