The quick clip features the Bellas facing off againstan imposing German group in a '90s slow jam sing-off, lending their voices toclassic hits like “This Is How We Do It” and Lauryn Hill’s “That Thing.” Italso shows that the girls haven’t lost their edge in the two and a half yearssince the original film was released.
Also despite the time that the Bellas had off, the fansremained. “I think that it’s become a phenomenon because people really lovethese characters and it’s a story about girls who really are themselves andthere’s also singing and dancing and it just makes you feel good,” Brittany tells HELLO!. “I think that now there’s a lot going on and people want toleave the movies feeling better about themselves.”

The 29-year-old, who plays Chloe, the leader of the Bellas,also shared if the singing on screen ever spills over to the actors on set. “Notreally,” she admits. “We do so much singing in the movie that there’s notreally a lot of singing when we’re not. We kind of just stick to making fun of each other.”
Brittany’s co-star Skylar Astin, 27, has his opinionon why the film has struck such a chord with audiences. “I think it’s a moviethat really embraced what it was. It wasn’t a movie that was afraid to poke funof itself at times and have a sense of humor about something that is so, youfeel no shame to admit that you love that medium,” he explains. “It just cameout at the right time and it had a good cast and it just worked out.”
It appears that their friendships off screen are as genuineas they are on screen, when both Skylar and Anna, who are a couple in real life,showed up to the red carpet in support of Brittany’s recently released movieDial A Prayer. As for Brittany taking on the role of Cora in this indie drama, she shares: "I thought that the character was someone that I related a lot to and also it was something I hadn’t done before. I really wanted to challenge myself and play something that I could really sink my teeth into and it was such an amazing experience."
