I believe you mean “Grace Is Gone,” not “Gone Baby Gone.”

My understanding is that Eastwood also wrote a new score for the film.

The Enchanted ones are cute (yes, "That's How You Know" for the win), Into the Wild's songs fall in the vein of Melissa Etheridge's entertaining-and-politically-charged-rock win last year), the Once ballad is very pretty, the Hairspray song rousing, and I'm really pulling for Music & Lyrics!! The one monkey wrench, the song that I think has a good shot that I forgot to download, is Gone Baby Gone by Clint Eastwood (!) and Arthur winner Carole Bayer Seger.
