Production

Producer and singer-songwriter Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds served as the executive producer of the songs for the film. The soundtrack was released by Sony Music SoundTrax, the day before the film was released. The songs in the film were actually performed with Kay Hanley, singer for Letters to Cleo, as the singing voice of Josie.[2] Rachael Leigh Cook lip synched to the songs in the film, and according to a documentary that accompanied the DVD version of the movie, the three lead actresses sang backup vocals on many of the songs. Despite the film's underperformance at the box office, the soundtrack was well received and was even certified as a gold album selling more than 500,000 copies.

Contributors include Bif Naked, Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne, Ivy), Dave Gibbs and Steve Hurley (Gigolo Aunts), Jason Falkner (Jellyfish), Matthew Sweet, Jane Wiedlin (The Go-Go's), Adam Duritz (Counting Crows), Anna Waronker (That Dog), and Kay Hanley and Michael Eisenstein (Letters to Cleo).[3]
