• "Addicted To Romance" is a piano-led track where Bruce Springsteen paints a picture of a blossoming romance. He pledges to share his dreams with his beloved, whom he describes as the "neighborhood's broken daughter."
• Darling, let me tell you your future
  Slip your palm into my hands
  
  This is one of several Springsteen tracks that refer to fortune telling. Others include "Brilliant Disguise," where he sings:
  
  The gypsy swore our future was right
  But come the wee wee hours
  Well maybe baby the gypsy lied
  
  and "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)":
  
  Did you hear the cops finally busted Madam Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do
  
  Madam Marie was a real fortune teller who had a booth along the boardwalk of Asbury Park on the Jersey Shore. Legend has it Springsteen met Madam Marie when he was a young man and she told him he would be a success. He joked with her that she said the same thing to all musicians.
• Springsteen recorded "Addicted To Romance" for the closing credits of the Rebecca Miller-directed film, She Came to Me. Starring Anne Hathaway and Peter Dinklage, the movie follows a disillusioned composer (Dinklage) who, with the encouragement of his therapist-turned-wife (Hathaway), goes on a journey to find new inspiration and spark a creative revival.
  
  Bryce Dessner, a founding member of the band The National, composed the music for She Came to Me.
• Miller previously included a cover of Springsteen's "Dancing In The Dark" performed by Kathleen Hanna for the soundtrack of her 2015 film Maggie's Plan.
  
  "I really love Bruce's music. For the end of 'She Came to Me,' we wanted an original song," Miller told Variety. "I had a secret wish it might be Bruce, but I was reluctant to ask because I felt it was so unlikely, and frankly I was a bit shy."
  
  Dessner encouraged the director to ask because he was sure Springsteen would love the film. So, Miller approached him, and The Boss and his wife Patti Scialfa ended up watching the movie. "To my delight, they both loved it! Bruce said he'd take a few days to see if anything came to him for a song," she said. "Miraculously, 'Addicted to Romance' was the result. He says he was inspired by the film, which is a great honor for me."
• "Addicted To Romance" features vocals from Patti Scialfa. The National touring members Kyle Resnick and Benjamin Lanz play trumpet and trombone respectively.
• Springsteen has written several other songs for movies over the years, including:
  
  "Streets Of Philadelphia" (Philadelphia, 1993)
  
  "The Wrestler" (The Wrestler, 2008)
  
  " I'll Stand By You" (originally written for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, 2001, but never used. Later included on the soundtrack of Blinded By The Light, 2019).
  
  "Streets of Philadelphia" won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1994, and "The Wrestler" won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song in 2009.
