Gravity (Hazbin Hotel song)

For the second season of Hazbin Hotel, Sam Haft and Andrew Underberg planned to write a "villain song" for Jessica Vosk, actor of Lute. Vosk did not sing much in season one, but her performance in the song "You Didn't Know" was well received by fans, leading to the addition of a solo song for her in the second season. Haft and Underberg found it compelling to compose music that solely reflected the bloodthirsty, menacing nature of the character Lute, in contrast to the "theatrical rock music" sung by Alex Brightman's character, Adam. At the request of series creator Vivienne Medrano, they used Latin choir chants as backing vocals (similar in manner to Gregorian chant), which were inspired by the song "Hellfire" from the 1996 Disney film The Hunchback of Notre Dame.^[2] The song premiered at the 2025 New York Comic Con.^[3]

"Gravity" is a punk rock song,^[4] composed of "contemporary-rock" elements and Latin chants. It employs hip-hop vocal rhythm in some verses.^[2] It is performed by Jessica Vosk as Lute, with backing vocals from Alex Brightman as Lute's hallucination of Adam^[3][5] and Sam Haft as the Latin chants.^[1] Lute expresses a desire for vengeance against Charlie Morningstar for Adam's death in the previous season,^[4][5] and suggests she plans to kill Charlie's girlfriend, Vaggie, so that Charlie understands the feeling of losing a loved one too.^[5]
