Robert Pattinson Registers Seven Songs with ASCAP

Robert Pattinson, the actor best known for roles like Batman and Edward Cullen, may be getting serious about music.

RussH reports that he’s registered seven songs with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), listing himself as both performer and songwriter in collaboration with longtime associate Marcus Foster.

Robert Pattinson & His New Songs

The song titles include:

• “Bent Out That Midnight Day”
• “Best Friend”
• “Fascinate”
• “Fell Off”
• “Green Light”
• “Waiting on Me”
• “Witness (You See Me)”

This move signals a new musical chapter for Pattinson, one that goes beyond occasional soundtrack contributions to a more formally released body of work.

A Hint of What’s to Come

While Pattinson’s musical side isn’t entirely new—he has contributed to film soundtracks like Twilight, How to Be, and High Life—this registration suggests a more deliberate step into music.

The collaboration with Marcus Foster is notable. Foster has worked with Pattinson before, and their creative partnership might influence the sound and direction of this potential project.

The timing also feels significant: Pattinson is juggling major film roles, including Die My Love, The Batman Part II, and Dune: Part Three, all while navigating new territory as a musician. His personal life (he’s now a father with Suki Waterhouse) may also inspire themes in his songwriting.

Challenges & Questions Ahead

• Release timeline is unknown: Registering songs is a step forward, but there’s no announcement yet of an album or release date.
• Musical identity: Pattinson may face the question of how distinct his style will be—whether it leans indie, alternative, singer-songwriter or something else.
• Public reception: As an actor crossing into music, he’ll likely face scrutiny from both film fans and music critics. Will audiences take him seriously—or see this as a side hustle?
• Comparison to peers: The last Batman actor to really dive into music was Adam West, who released a novelty single in the 1960s. Pattinson’s move would be a more earnest attempt.

Why It Matters

If Pattinson releases a full musical project, it could reshape how fans see his artistic identity. Rather than just being an actor who dabbles in music, he may become an artist who splits his creative life across film and song.

It also underscores a broader trend: more actors experimenting with music, blurring lines between entertainment mediums. For Pattinson, this could be a way to channel personal expression beyond scripts and roles.
