My mom, Nancy, says her favorite song is "San Francisco" by Maxime Le Forestier. My favorite song is "Delicate" by Taylor Swift.

Here are our Best Original Song thoughts and ratings.

"Fight for You" from Judas and the Black Messiah, music by H.E.R. and Dernst Emile II, lyrics by H.E.R. and Tiara Thomas

Our ratings for Best Original Song:

Nancy: Great groove, great vocal, but it seems to be a made-for-the-movie song, not stand-alone (sorry). Rating: 7/10

Hope: Beautiful song, but it does feel like it's from a movie, which I know is the category, but in my opinion, these songs should also stand on their own. Rating: 7/10 (Lol, my mom and I said the exact same thing without consulting each other.)

"Hear My Voice" from The Trial of the Chicago 7, music by Daniel Pemberton, lyrics by Daniel Pemberton and Celeste Waite
