## Summary

Linda Perry said her new song “What Lies with You” emerged after a period of intense grief following her mother’s death. A documentary crew filming her studio process captured a four-hour jam session, offering a rare view of how the song took shape and prompting a film about Perry’s life and work.

Perry had initially agreed to director Don Hardy Jr filming in her studio, expecting the footage might be useful for social media. As he recognised the potential for a documentary, she told him she did not want to discuss it, though she accepted that the film would show her own words and actions. *Linda Perry: Let It Die Here* premiered at the Tribeca Festival and is available to stream on Hulu and Disney+.
