Allison Williams and Ebon Moss-Bachrach reveal previously unpublished secrets about HBO’s hit series. Girl.
The former co-stars played Marnie and Desi on the Lena Dunham-led series, and their characters’ toxic on-off relationship was held together by music. Throughout the show’s six seasons, the duo sang a variety of songs, some of which, they now reveal, were actually written by Grammy-winning producer and Dunham’s ex-boyfriend Jack Antonoff.
“I recently found out that most of our songs were copied by Kelly Clarkson,” Moss and Bachrach said in a joint Vanity Fair Interview with Williams, who added: “Some of them were. I think the song ‘Breathless’ was written by Jack Antonoff for Kelly Clarkson.”
