Though the film is now mostly associated with Houston\u2019s version of \u201cI Will Always Love You,\u201d that song is actually a Dolly Parton cover. \u201cI Have Nothing\u201d was original to the soundtrack, and was nominated for an Academy Award alongside Houston\u2019s \u201cRun to You,\u201d also from The Bodyguard.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.npr.org\/assets\/news\/2009\/09\/01\/Whitneyhouston1987-532b85684066c984208a0621c5b2b0edff28c051.jpg?s=1100&amp;c=50&amp;f=jpeg\" alt=\"Whitney Houston Is Back : NPR\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the film, Houston plays a diva megastar, and to tap into that character\u2019s perspective, Thompson thought back to her relationship with one of the biggest stars of all time: Elvis Presley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat song was definitely inspired by [my relationship with Elvis] because I knew what it was like to live with the biggest [rock star] of all time,\u201d Thompson later revealed, per American Songwriter. \u201cIt was centered around this gorgeous megastar\u2026She\u2019s petulant.
