Natasha Bedingfield Linked Up With The Creators Of The Viral ‘Unwritten’ Challenge And It’s Kind Of Everything
The 39-year-old revealed in an interview that singer India Arie was the one who alerted her of the challenge.
“I got a text from India Arie. She was one of the ones who was saying, ‘Look at what people are saying and how they’re dancing to your song,” the “Pocketful of Sunshine” singer told Vice.
She also added that the resurgence brought back feelings of nostalgia.
“It made me think about the people who raised me musically,” she continued. “I grew up in this amazing church with a huge Black community, so for me, that’s where my roots are.”
The 17-year-old song has now infiltrated a new generation of listeners and dancers alike, and Bedingfield is more than ecstatic about it making a comeback, which she feels gives the track new life.
“I was so excited to see this new response to my song and also a reinterpretation of it — and something that made it feel extra alive,” she said.
