"Indigo" is a song that Bacino had written when she was just 15, and its inclusion in Mighty Oak marks a significant milestone in her career. The song fits perfectly into the Mighty Oak storyline, adding depth and emotion to the film.
Mighty Oak is based on San Diego's music community, and local bands and musicians were featured both on screen and in the soundtrack.
