Do not continue if you have not seen the Season One finale of Star Trek: Picard.
The pop song standard "Blue Skies" had special significance in the Star Trek fictional universe and it gained even more importance in the first season of the show Star Trek: Picard.
As one of the most beloved characters in Star Trek, the android Data was dying, the song played in the background in the emotional scene featured in the final episode of Season 1 of CBS' Star Trek: Picard.
CBS released a video showing the recording of “Blue Skies,” which was sung by Picard star Isa Briones (Soji), and is a tribute to Brent Spiner’s “Blue Skies” from Star Trek: Nemesis.
In the video, composer Jeff Russo talked about how it was always planned to bring the song back for the season, and it was executive producer Alex Kurtzman’s suggestion to have Briones sing the new version.
"This is obviously a bit of a throwback to Star Trek: Nemesis, when Data sang 'Blue Skies,' so it's really cool that Data's daughter kind of gets to sing it as well," Briones says in the behind-the-scenes video.

"My parents are musical theater actors, so I kind of grew up around it and when I was 19, I had moved to New York and my first audition in New York was Hamilton and I got to do Hamilton on tour and so that was kind of my first bigger musical theater experience and right after I left Hamilton jumped right into this," said the Filipino American actress.
The fact that Data's daughter, who inherited many of Data's attributes, sings the special song may open the door for bringing the significant song back in a future episode.
