 Another of Denise's big musical moments occurs in the studio to sing tracks for "God Give Me Strength," an expensively produced single that fails to generate excitement on the charts, alluding to Spector's recording of "River Deep, Mountain High" for Tina Turner (written by Spector, Greenwich and Barry).Singer Elvis Costello, who co-wrote "God Give Me Strength" (with Burt Bacharach) for the film, also wrote "Unwanted Number," which, in the movie, is crafted by Denise and Cazsatt for The Luminaries and causes a scandal because it tells in a sympathetic manner the story of an unmarried pregnant preteen.Singer-composer Lesley Gore co-wrote the song, "My Secret Love," performed in the movie by the character of young singer Kelly Porter, a closeted lesbian, played by Bridget Fonda.
