- TriviaSAG-AFTRA issued a "Do not work" order on Songbird, telling its members to refuse any work on the film, apparently due to incomplete agreement paperwork and a lack of transparency regarding safety procedures. The order was rescinded the following day.
- GoofsWhen William is trying to get May out of her car, he smashes the driver's side window out. Seconds later, when the drone shoots him, blood splatters all over the window. However, upon careful inspection, it's the front windshield that gets blood all over it.

Featured review
Disappointing, dull, and interesting premise turned horribly wrong.
2 out of 5 stars.
Songbird is a sci fi thriller based on the real world covid epidemic. Taking place in 2023 with covid 23 mutated into a lethal virus that is more airborne than ever. And the cities are on a strict lockdown with military authorized to shoot if caught outside your home. Nico (K.J. Apa) is a bike courier. Who delivers packages. When his girlfriend Sara (Sofia Carson) who is quarantined in there apartment may be infected. A sanitization crew is called in to sweep and take her to an infected zone. Nice who is immune. He is willing to do whatever it takes to save her.
The plot does leave a lot of holes open. It has characters who are selling immunity bracelets. A young woman who invites man to her hotel room for sex while trying to keep there face masks on. A veteran who uses his drone to check the city. All these characters are uninteresting. The script is terrible in executing in making these characters stand out.
The direction is terrible. The cinematography is all over the place with weird camera angles and quick and shaky cuts. The story goes completely nowhere in the end.
The cast is great. K.J. Apa. Sofia Carson. Demi Moore. Alexandria Daddario. And Peter Stormare were all completely wasted playing characters that are forgettable. The script did not give them anything to work with besides giving them tedious characters.
The movie lacked thrills when it tries to be. But showing Nico riding his motorcycle all over Los Angeles from one warehouse to another. Which lacks the excitement.
Songbird is definitely one of those films that is best to skip to a streaming service or skip it all together. It was just terrible.
