She


"She" is a song written and performed by the English singer-songwriter Elvis Costello. The song was released in 1999 as part of his album "Painted from Memory." It was composed by Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello themselves. Interestingly, "She" was originally intended for the soundtrack of the film "Notting Hill" but was not included. The song gained popularity when it was featured in the opening credits of the movie "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" in 1999. The melody of "She" is characterized by its smooth and romantic tones, accompanied by gentle instrumentals and Costello's emotive vocals.
