Music and Lyrics is a 2007 American musical romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Marc Lawrence. It focuses on the relationship that evolves between a former pop music idol (of the fictional band PoP!) and an aspiring writer as they struggle to compose a song for a reigning pop diva.

The film was released on February 14, 2007, by Warner Bros. It received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, who praised Grant's performance and the musical numbers but found the film simplistic, and grossed $145.9 million worldwide.
