We searched for songs that would blend well with the purpose and genre of Split as it is a drama/football movie so we were thinking of choosing a particular song that would represent the main character, being Bradley "Keano" Kean, as a person who wants to be the best in the world at what he loves to do (which is football) yet he also wants to finish his education by passing all of his exams with results that would take him on a sailing boat to University but the gang life he wants to leave is slowly pulling him back in so in other words, a motivational song would best suit the opening sequence as it would motivate Keano to leave his 'crime life', aspire his 'football' lifestyle and revise for his exams so that he can exceed his expectations.
The first song that sounded like it would have fit with our description of the BGM for our opening sequence was 'Kanye West - Runaway' but the instrumental without the hook. However, when we actually used it as the background music for the opening sequence, it didn't really work well with it as the instrumental had a slow but brutal beat to it whereas there is the football scene in the opening sequence that shows a change of pace as Nile O-Meally Newell is swiftly dribbling his way around football cones so we realized that we needed a faster instrumental.
