This Love (Taylor’s Version) by Taylor Swift
The final song of the series that made the finale more epic than ever is This Love (Taylor’s Version). The song aided Belly and Conrad’s relationship progress and the page the two parted on. Belonging to Taylor Swift’s 1989 album originally, Swift recorded the song for the show, also releasing a lyrical video for it.
Happier Than Ever (Remix) by Billie Eilish
Released in 2021, Eilish’s Happier Than Ever belongs to the album of the same name. The song went on to be nominated for the 64th Annual Grammy Awards and received praises from fans and critics alike, trending a lot on its release. However, the remix version featured in the third episode of the series really elevated Belly’s emotions and feelings towards the two brothers and Cousins, in general.
Is It True by Tame Impala
One of the most underrated tracks of the show has to be Is It True by Tame Impala. The track brings a bounce and pop to the essentially slow album. The fun song plays during the sixth episode of the series titled ‘Summer Tides’.
