The Sound of Modern Romance

The Nobody Wants This Season 2 soundtrack mirrors the show’s tone: modern love rendered through equal parts chaos and charm. Selena Gomez and Ellie Goulding bookend a season that never leans too sentimental, while newcomers like Teddi Gold and Baylee Lynn keep the mood spontaneous.

It’s a tracklist that moves like the show itself, from self-awareness to surrender, finding beauty in the awkward middle ground between independence and intimacy.
