The wholesome tale of a TikTok songwriting collab.

Utah Indie band Poolhouse posted a clip of their song, “Could Be Love”:

Rachel Makes Movies (and TV) responded with her re-edit of the song (and as she clearly demonstrates, “I do this out of love”):

The band responded by asking their followers if they should re-record Rachel’s Version…

@poolhouseband

I think we should do it

… and even Spotify voted “yes”:

In the end: they did it!

@poolhouseband

Thank you to Rachel and everyone following this story for putting us in a position where we can release two versions of a song that we truly love. We feel this whole thing is what Poolhouse is all about and we are so proud of Rachel’s Version and the OG. Our song of the summer is out and we hope it will be the song of your summer too! Thank god I’m a loser! 🫶🏻 @Rachel Makes Movies (and TV) @Spotify
