Noah Kahan Releases New Song “Draw You Out” For The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping
Noah Kahan has officially entered Panem with “Draw You Out,” the single from The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping soundtrack. Written specifically for the film alongside Aaron Dessner, the song finds Kahan once again turning grief, love and remembrance into something quietly hopeful.
Inspired by the relationship between Haymitch Abernathy and Lenore Dove, “Draw You Out” explores what it means to carry someone with you after they are gone. Kahan’s warm, weathered vocals sit against a folk driven arrangement that gradually builds emotional weight without losing the intimacy that has become central to his songwriting. The result feels unmistakably like Kahan while belonging naturally to the world of The Hunger Games.
The accompanying lyric video keeps that intimacy intact, centering Kahan and his surroundings rather than overwhelming the song with elaborate imagery. Its understated visuals mirror the track’s themes of memory and longing, allowing the lyrics to remain at the forefront.
That emotional instinct is familiar territory for Kahan. Just weeks ago, he delivered a deeply moving performance of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” during the 2026 Emmys’ In Memoriam segment, another moment where his voice transformed grief into something uniting.
“Draw You Out” carries that same sentimental sensitivity into a story about wanting a life beyond the one handed to you, preserving a legacy while still longing for something better. It is a fitting addition to a franchise built around survival, sacrifice and the hope of breaking inherited cycles.
