It also had two original recordings written for the film: an original song "Runaway" by Mat Kearney and a cover of Katy Perry's 2010 hit single "Firework" by American Idol finalist Chris Sligh.[2] Mat Kearney claimed that he met Bethany Hamilton (whom the film is based) in Hawaii, before the accident and impressed with her and when the film's biopic was under production, Keaney was offered to write a song from the production's music staff, thereby leading his track "Runaway" being made into the final soundtrack.[3] The musical choices were supervised by Hamilton's family.[4]
