On October 23rd, Netflix’s Emmy-nominated smash-hit rom-com Nobody Wants This will return for its highly awaited second season alongside a 19-song all-star soundtrack. Released via The Core Records in partnership with Interscope Records — Nobody Wants This Season 2: The Soundtrack will feature a powerhouse lineup of pop superstars of Selena Gomez and Teddy Swims, country hitmaker Kacey Musgraves, and alt-pop heavy-hitters Finneas, Portugal. The Man, and others.
Offering a special glimpse into season two of the series, the track listing reveal video also features a sneak peek at Swims’ soulful and swoon-worthy “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming.”
The Core Entertainment CEO and co-founder, Simon Tikhman, worked closely alongside his team at The Core and Interscope to assemble the 19-song, genre-spanning tracklist to Nobody Wants This Season 2: The Soundtrack.
“The fact that we were able to put together a one-of-a-kind soundtrack with incredible artists speaks to the success of the first season,” says Tikhman. “I wanted the music to reflect the same mix of honesty, sharpness, and heart that Erin brings to the story, while also creating a soundtrack that can stand on its own. I’m deeply invested in this project — and, of course, in its creator, which made getting the music right all the more meaningful.”
“Based on the success and acclaim of the first season, this was a really fun soundtrack to put together,” adds Sam Riback, President, A&R, Interscope Records. “So many artists were drawn to the uniquely captivating love story and the role of music in this series. We could not be more proud of the pool of artists we’ve assembled who helped create the musical backdrop for season two.”
To create the musical accompaniment to the binge-ready tale of unconventional romance between Joanne (a podcaster played by Kristen Bell) and Noah (a rabbi played by Adam Brody), the soundtrack’s producers assembled an A-list selection of unreleased, original songs from artists from both rosters (and from several outside labels). Also featuring Role Model, Benee, Alessia Cara, Royel Otis, and Ella Langley — as well as up-and-coming country acts like Just Jayne and Baylee Lynn — Nobody Wants This Season 2: The Soundtrack ultimately delivers an eclectic mix of massively catchy anthems, timeless heartbreak songs, and nostalgia-soaked bangers from today’s biggest stars and brightest new talents.
Netflix’s official trailer for season two, which dropped in September, features rising folk-pop singer/songwriter Cassandra Coleman’s “Bite My Tongue,” the first song released from the soundtrack.
Last week marked the premiere of the two latest singles from Nobody Wants This Season 2: The Soundtrack: the slow-burning “Dancing In The Smoke” by seven-time Grammy-nominated R&B star Giveon, and the stark but stunning “Melodies” by chart-topping Irish singer/songwriter Dermot Kennedy. On Friday, October 10th, the soundtrack’s rollout will continue with the release of the combustible yet wildly romantic “Your Girl” by alt-pop/rock artist Towa Bird, and the lovestruck and rapturous “Palomino” by multiple Grammy- and Academy Award-winning artist/composer/producer Finneas.
After its premiere in fall 2024, Nobody Wants This quickly became one of the most talked-about shows in the streaming era, sparking widespread obsession with the will-they-or-won’t-they tension between the two leads. Along with earning a host of nominations from the Primetime Emmy Awards (including Outstanding Comedy Series) and the Golden Globe Awards, the show’s first season found Brody winning a Critics’ Choice Television Award in the category of Best Actor in a Comedy Series. In addition, season one garnered a nomination for Best Music Supervision – Television at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, thanks to a knockout soundtrack including the likes of Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo.
