In a rom-com film like “The Idea of You,” getting the soundtrack just right was the most important thing. When your story is about the lead singer of a made-up boy band, the songs are just as important as the plot changes.
The movie, which is based on Robinne Lee‘s book of the same name, stars the amazing Anne Hathaway as a 40-year-old single mom who is drawn to 24-year-old Hayes Campbell’s magnetic charm. As the lead singer of August Moon, “the hottest boy band on the planet,” Hayes isn’t just any young hunk.
Some people have said that Hayes’ character reminds them of Harry Styles, which has led to rumors that the book may have begun as fan fiction. However, director Cathy Schulman says it wasn’t easy to put together a band like August Moon. They had to find a fine line between paying homage to well-known groups and making their own identity. And the hardest part of this musical journey was finding that balance. Here’s the complete soundtrack of “The Idea of You.”

When you listen to “The Idea of You,” the music is like a work of art, with melodies that make you feel things and beats that make you want to dance. Featuring songs by famous artists such as Maggie Rogers and Minnie Riperton, along with the exciting sounds of Hayes Campbell’s boyband August Moon, this musical journey is truly beautiful.
But that’s not all. August Moon isn’t like other boy bands—they’re a powerhouse of talent whose songs cover a wide range of styles and attract fans all over the world. They’re so famous that they’ve even played the main stage at Coachella, proving that they are truly legendary.
Well-known songwriters Carl Falk and Savan Kotecha are involved, which makes things even more interesting for people who pay close attention to details. They are known for their work on One Direction’s hit song “What Makes You Beautiful,” and their additions to songs like “Dance Before We Walk” make the movie’s music even better.
