Olivia Dean shares Bridget Jones soundtrack cut ‘It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be’
The soul-pop sensation wrote and recorded it exclusively for the beloved film character’s next chapter.

Olivia Dean has offered up yet another lush new single - and this time, it’s one written exclusively for everyone’s favourite (sort of) single, Bridget Jones.
The track - entitled ‘It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be’ - is a slinkily romantic yet refreshingly realistic love ballad, and was specially penned by Olivia to act as the credit song for Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy (the latest installment of the beloved film franchise, and the next chapter for Renée Zellweger’s iconic character).
“I’ve always loved the Bridget Jones films, they’re timeless classics,” Olivia has shared. “After seeing Mad About The Boy I was so moved by the journey we’ve watched Bridget go on over the years.
“‘It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be’ is about giving yourself permission to love again after grief, and trusting that things might just work out after all, even if it’s not how you expected them to. This is the first time I’ve been a part of something like this and I can’t wait for it to come out!”
Having shared standalone number ‘Time’ last year - a follow-up to her Mercury Prize-shortlisted debut album ‘Messy’ - Olivia now has fans waiting for more new music with baited breath. In the meantime, though, you can tide yourself over by checking out her live performance visual for ‘It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be’ here:
