For context, Hugh and Drew starred in the 2007 rom-com Music and Lyrics, about two songwriters (Hugh being the music and Drew being the lyrics). As such, both actors had to sing, including in the song "Way Back Into Love."

Well, in a recent interview with Wired, Hugh was asked if he was actually singing in the movie. "Yes, well, I do, but I'm auto-tuned beyond belief," he responded.

"Actually, that's not true; I'm auto-tuned a bit, but not as much as some. Drew Barrymore was in that film with me, and I don't think she'd mind me saying her singing is just horrendous," Hugh said.

"I've heard dogs bark better than she sings," he continued with a laugh. "But having said that, once they tuned her up, she sounded way better than me — because she's got heart and voice and rock 'n' roll, whereas I sounded like Julie Andrews, and I'm meant to be rock 'n' roll."

Well, Drew evidently saw the interview — since she uploaded a video onto her Instagram captioned, "My Response to Hugh Grant."
