"I remember, way before The Hills, there was a show called, maybe, Lauren of The Hills?" Bedingfield guesses. Dressed in an array of shades of red and pink, she motions for me to choose a seat in the room, before choosing the seat right next to me for herself.īefore we dive in deep, I need to know ASAP-did she watch The Hills? An episode here and there, she says, but largely no. In person, as in her music, Bedingfield is warm and inviting. I met up with Bedingfield in New York City a few weeks ago to talk about the comeback of The Hills, reality television, and how she feels about her 15-year-old hit song finding its way back into pop culture. Bedingfield left her corporate record label four years ago and just recently decided to join an independent label, a decision she says she didn’t take lightly but was ultimately the right move. In December 2017, the couple gave birth to their son Solomon Dylan, now 18 months. This year, she celebrated ten years marriage to her husband, businessman Matt Robinson, who she met when he randomly swung by to see her perform in Nashville some years before at the suggestion of a mutual friend.
Much like the beloved characters we know so well, Bedingfield’s life has changed a lot since the last time the show was on. Now, nine years after audiences said goodbye to the show, The Hills: New Beginnings is set to premiere next week, with "Unwritten" as its theme song again, ready to become an earworm for a whole new generation ( albeit as an-EDM influenced remix, produced by Linda Perry). The song was first released in 2004, and by the time MTV announced The Hills would carry on Laguna Beach’s legacy with a focus on main character Lauren Conrad’s move to Los Angeles to start her "real life," it was a massive pop hit, one that carried viewers into each episode, week after week. (True Laguna-heads know we do not recognize the show’s third season, which featured an entirely new cast.)

So did MTV, when they picked the song as the theme for The Hills, a reality show spinning off from its predecessor, the two-season series Laguna Beach, which put the drama of pretty blonde beach babes and their skater boyfriends on the national screen. And they chose "Unwritten" all year long. If you were just ambivalent about tunes, Top 40 stations chose your favorite songs for you. You had to be really committed to music, like, as a hobby, to be able to pick and choose what you were into. Streaming on Spotify? What’s that? George W. Most everyone had a cell phone, but 13 years ago, cell phones were just Snickers bars with buttons. 2006 was a vastly different time when it came to accessing music.
