Ever since the Summer I Got Pretty season 1 trailer debuted Taylor Swift's "This Love," fans have been anticipating the show's modern, romantic pop—and its soundtrack goes beyond People's expectations, especially in the second season. The soundtrack for Pretty Summer Season 2 includes more music from Swift and Olivia Rodrigo, as well as familiar throwbacks provided by One Direction and Fleetwood Mac.
So how does such a delightful soundtrack come together? Jenny Han, a writer on the Prime Video trilogy series, told TV Insider that she has a "wish list" of music she'd like to include in the show. The author told Cinema Blend that this actually reflected her writing process: For example, she listened to Swift's "The Way I Love You" when she first wrote " The Summer I Got Pretty " in 2008, and more recently Putting it into the show 15 years later. Full circle!
Of course, the show isn't all high-profile summer romance - as the devastating scene in season one's Phoebe Bridgers' "Funeral" proves. (Seriously, reread it now and try not to cry.) Plus, if you’ve read the books, you know there will be a few bumps along the way.
If you want a full recap of every epic needle drop, here are all the songs from Season 2 of The Summer I Got Pretty .
