In the film, after falling into shark-infested waters, Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell) sing to calm each other down, waiting to be rescued. After their boat incident, Bea and Ben sing Bedingfield’s song from the mountaintop to the Sydney Opera House.

Director Will Gluck (who co-wrote the script with Ilana Wolpert) shared the tense experience of shooting scenes in a large shark area at 3:00 a.m. forAnyone But Youin an interview withEntertainment Weekly.

Shark consultants advised on safety to ensure best practices. As they knew, more activity attracts sharks. So, they had to deal with an increasing number of sharks during filming for the longer shots. Although no actors or sharks were harmed in makingAnyone but You.
