What's left behind the scenes
- The working title of the film was "Mothers and Daughters".
- The song "As We Go Along" by The Monkees can be heard in the film.
- Producer Scott Rudin, after receiving the script from Greta Gerwig, discussed it with Eli Bush for eleven hours, after which he gave Gerwig the green light to film.
- This is the second film in which Saoirse Ronan has played a character insisting on being called a name different from the one she was given at birth (Lady Bird instead of Christine). Previously, this happened in "How I Live Now" (2013), where she asked to be called Daisy instead of Elizabeth.
- While filming her scenes in an American high school, Saoirse Ronan used her personal memories of watching the series "Saved by the Bell" (1989–1992) as a teenager.
- The events of the film take place in 2002-2003. During this time, the film's director, Greta Gerwig, graduated from the Catholic School of Saint Francis in her hometown of Sacramento (California, USA).
- Lady Bird is known in American pop culture as the nickname of Claudia Alta Taylor Johnson, wife of the 36th President of the United States, Lyndon Johnson. This film has no connection to Johnson himself or his wife. However, it happened to be released in American theaters at the same time as the biopic about Lyndon Johnson, "LBJ," directed by Rob Reiner.
- Saoirse Ronan and Greta Gerwig first met in 2015 at the Toronto International Film Festival. Ronan had read Gerwig's script before this meeting and decided to play the lead role. They discussed the script in a hotel room, and Ronan acted out the main character by reading the text. It was then that Gerwig realized she had found the perfect Lady Bird.
- The first draft of the script was 350 pages long. That's roughly a six-hour film.
- In the film, Lady Bird applies to Columbia University and later learns she was not accepted. Timothée Chalamet, who played Kyle in the film, attended the university in real life, but left to focus on acting training.
- Although the film doesn't explicitly state which New York college Lady Bird was accepted to, the colors of the application package (white with blue) and the location (Upper Manhattan) suggest it was Barnard College. This institution was also attended by the film's director and screenwriter, Greta Gerwig.

- The song 'As We Go Along' by The Monkees can be heard in the film.
