Written for the film, ”We Both Know” was produced by Grammy®-winning songwriter Dan Wilson and will also appear on the soundtrack, to be released by Relativity Music Group and Republic Records in February 2013.

In theatres Valentine’s Day 2013, Safe Haven is directed by Oscar®-nominee Lasse Hallström and based on the best-selling novel by Nicholas Sparks from a screenplay by Dana Stevens and Gage Lansky. The film stars Josh Duhamel (Transformers, Life As We Know It), Julianne Hough (Rock of Ages, Footloose), Cobie Smulders (The Avengers, How I Met Your Mother) and David Lyons (Eat Pray Love, J.J. Abrams’) and is an affirming and suspenseful story about a young woman who struggles to find love again after she arrives in a small North Carolina town. Safe Haven was produced by Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, Sparks and Relativity’s CEO Ryan Kavanaugh.

Caillat said, “My friend Gavin and I were on tour together this summer when I was approached to write a song for Safe Haven. I had never written a song for a soundtrack so was thrilled to be asked.”

DeGraw added, “Colbie came to me and we co-wrote the song together. We had so much fun collaborating on our first song together and hope the fans will enjoy it.”

After receiving a record breaking 14 million plays of songs she posted on MySpace while still in her teens, Colbie Caillat was signed by Universal Republic and launched into a career whose highlights include two Grammy awards and four nominations, a double-Platinum album, a Gold album, six Platinum digital singles , BMI Pop Awards for Song and Songwriter of the Year and a performance at the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize Concert.

DeGraw broke into the scene in 2003 with his hit “I Don’t Want to Be” and the release of his first album “Chariot.” The album sold over a million copies and earned platinum certification. DeGraw has since released three more albums including his latest single “Soldier,” which is actively climbing the Billboard charts.

Up next, Relativity Music Group will release soundtracks for Focus Features’ Hyde Park on Hudson and Promiseland as well as Relativity’s 21 and Over.
