Nobody Wants This soundtrack: Haim, Olivia Rodrigo, and more songs by episode

As someone who’s been through my fair share of rom-coms and musical adventures, let me tell you that Nobody Wants This has struck a perfect balance between the two! The series takes me back to the golden age of romantic comedies set in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, all while keeping its finger on the pulse of today’s music scene.


At last, the most amusing and endearing comedy series of the year has arrived! Known as “Nobody Wants This,” it debuted on Netflix on September 26, offering a total of 10 side-splitting episodes featuring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody in leading roles. In this show, they portray an unlikely couple whose religious differences divide them yet undeniable chemistry binds them. Can they make their relationship successful when everyone is against it?

In the style of a typical heartwarming romantic comedy, Nobody Wants This offers an array of melodies designed to enhance the mood. The teaser trailer showcases “Close to You” by Gracie Abrams, a track that was also heard in season 4 part 2 of Emily in Paris. However, unlike Netflix’s current popular romantic-comedy series, this film’s music selection harmoniously complements its lively backdrop of Los Angeles.

If you’re searching for the specific tune played in “Nobody Wants This”, here’s a compilation of every song that appears across the series, with each track labeled by its respective episode. You might just discover your favorite and add it to your music collection!

All songs featured in Nobody Wants This

In a romantic comedy series set in Los Angeles, the captivating opening number could be none other than “Nobody Wants This“, reminiscent of Haim’s lesser-known hit “Summer Girl”. The pilot episode also showcases tunes from Remi Wold and LÉON, with the sister pop-rock group contributing another song.

In addition to her achievements, Olivia Rodrigo showcases her talent twice on the soundtrack. The song “Brutal” is strategically placed in a crucial scene involving Noah’s mother, while her 2024 single “Obsessed” perfectly encapsulates Joanne’s fixation on Noah’s ex-girlfriend Rebecca during a significant moment of obsession. It’s hard to imagine any other song fitting as seamlessly in this scene!

The series is filled with numerous standout music instances, such as a lesser-known Shawn Mendes track that underscores a significant growth point for Joanne and Noah, and a Francis and the Lights song that effectively serves as our main theme. Additionally, the bat mitzvah season finale is packed with non-stop dance hits!
