In 2016, Bacharach, at 88 years old, composed and arranged his first original score in 16 years for the film "A Boy Called Po" (along with composer Joseph Bauer). The score was released on September 1, 2017. The entire 30-minute score was recorded in just two days at Capitol Studios. The theme song "Dancing With Your Shadow", was composed by Bacharach, with lyrics by Billy Mann, and performed by Sheryl Crow. After seeing the film, a true story about a child with autism, Bacharach decided he wanted to write a score for it, as well as a theme song, in tribute to his daughter Nikki — who had gone undiagnosed with Asperger syndrome, and who committed suicide at the age of 40. Bacharach asked Director John Asher to see the film and offered to score it. ""It touched me very much,"" the composer says. ""I had gone through this with Nikki. Sometimes you do things that make you feel. It's not about money or rewards.""
