When Every Song On The Anyone But You Soundtrack Plays In The Movie

The Anyone But You Soundtrack Features 20 Songs

“Didn't I” by Darondo - The 2005 R&B track “Didn’t I” by Darondo plays in Anyone But You’s opening scene, which introduces the main love interests to each other at a coffee shop. Bea ran inside to find a bathroom before her job interview but was denied service because she wasn’t a paying customer. Fortunately, Ben, who was at the front of the long line, pretended to be her husband, forcing the barista to allow Bea to use the restroom and starting their love story in Anyone But You.

“The Spins” by Mac Miller & Empire of the Sun - After a series of misunderstandings following a night together, Bea and Ben’s chances for getting together seem ruined. When Bea overhears a conversation between Ben and his friend Pete, she leaves his apartment hurt and confused. The upbeat “The Spins” by Mac Miller and Empire of the Sun transitions Anyone But You from this scene to a time jump in which they meet again through Claudia and Halle.

“Photo ID (with Dominic Fike)” by Remi Wolf & Dominic Fike - “Photo ID” is the first of two Dominic Fike songs on the Anyone But You soundtrack. The song plays as Ben and Bea incidentally board the same flight to Australia for Bea and Halle’s wedding.

“Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield - “Unwritten” plays an important role in Anyone But You. The Natasha Bedingfield hit first plays in the film when Bea goes to steal Ben’s cookie on the flight and overhears the song playing from his headphones, learning that it’s his “serenity song.” Later in the movie, when they are rescued from Sydney Harbour by a helicopter, she sings it to him to calm him down. “Unwritten” also plays in Anyone But You's end credits, which features the cast singing and dancing along to it at various points of filming.

“Sick” by Dominic Fike - When they arrive in Australia, another Dominick Fike song plays. “Sick” is a song about two people making each other sick while also being in love. It’s the perfect track for Bea and Ben’s enemies-to-lovers story in Anyone But You.

“Right Direction” by Margo & Mac - To celebrate Halle and Claudia’s upcoming nuptials in Anyone But You and the first night of the wedding party being all together in Australia, Pete sets off fireworks as “Right Direction” by Margo & Mac plays in the background. A series of party games goes wrong in Anyone But You when Bea and Ben are put on the same team and can’t stop arguing.

“The Vacationer” by Hungry Kids of Hungary - After a shot of another Shakespeare reference in Anyone But You written in the sand, “The Vacationer” by Hungry Kids of Hungary plays over a montage of everyone taking advantage of the beautiful Australian setting.

“Bang Bang” by Hippo Campus - In an attempt to make Bea and Ben get along and possibly fall in love, Claudia and Pete’s mother, Carol, has them swim to her husband’s sailboat to get his “forgotten” sunglasses. Unfortunately, the task reveals that Ben isn’t a great swimmer. As “Bang Bang” by Hippo Campus plays, Bea carries him through the water to help them reach the boat.

“Steppin’ On Me” by Fitz and The Tantrums - The indie pop song “Steppin’ On Me” plays just after Bea proposes she and Ben fake date to get everyone off their back and make Ben’s ex, Margaret, jealous. Initially, their overacting doesn’t fool the other characters in Anyone But You, but as they grow to like each other, their feelings become obvious to everyone around them.

“Sympathy” by Declan McKenna - Ben and Bea’s first outing as a “couple” in Anyone But You is set to “Sympathy” by Declan McKenna. A hiking trip with Pete, Claudia, and Halle went horribly wrong when a giant spider crawled into Ben’s shorts. Unfortunately, the making of the scene went wrong as well, with Sweeney being bitten by the spider during Anyone But You’s filming.

“Changing” by Bay Ledges - While most of the Anyone But You characters are trying to get Bea and Ben together, her parents want her to get back with her ex-fiancé Jonathan. To do this, they invite him to Australia without telling her. As “Changing” by Bay Ledges plays in the background, Bea and Jonathan play a giant chess match.

“Dummy” by Portugal. The Man - Claudia and Halle’s rehearsal dinner took place on a ship, with the wedding party traveling to the dock in style, riding in Land Rovers. “Dummy” by Portugal. The Man plays during the journey in Anyone But You, where Bea’s stunning blue dress revealed Ben’s attraction to her.

“Got Me Started” by Troye Sivan - Once on the ship, the Anyone But You characters danced to the Troye Sivan bop “Got Me Started.” Bea and Ben showed off both their moves and their chemistry on the dance floor.

“All I Really Wanna Do” by Devon Gilfillian - After their dancing fails to catch the eyes of the other characters in Anyone But You, Bea and Ben came up with another plan to convince everyone they’re together. They recreated the famous “I’m flying” scene from Titanic as everyone looked on, their plan working perfectly. The love song “All I Really Wanna Do” by Devon Gilfillian provided great background music until Bea fell into Sydney Harbour.

“Anyone But You” by Still Woozy - The Anyone But You soundtrack’s title track was made by Still Woozy specifically for the film. It plays at a turning point in Bea and Ben’s love story in Anyone But You as they hook up for the first time following the ship incident.

Anyone But You's Shower Scene Fixes A Modern Movie Problem That's Annoyed Me For Years

One of Anyone But You's most memorable scenes was the shower one, which managed to fix a big modern movie problem by finding balance.

“Loving You” by Wet Leg - Before Bea woke up, Ben snuck out of her room following another misunderstanding. “Loving You” by Wet Leg plays over a montage of the morning after, which also happened to be the morning of Halle and Claudia’s wedding.

“Connecting Dots” by Kate Bollinger - The lyrics of “Connecting Dots” by Kate Bollinger include “How come love so sweet can turn so mean?” representing what Bea and Ben were likely thinking about each other after their night together. The ballad plays as they agree to fake getting along one more time for Claudia and Halle’s wedding. The lyrics “The more I know you, the more I hate you” play on the idea of there being a thin line between love and hate.

“Canon In D (Pachelbel's Canon)” by Johann Pachelbel - The classic canon from German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel is played by a group of violinists with Anyone But You’s resident surfer bro, Beau, surprisingly on the cello. They play the canon as Claudia, Halle, and the wedding party walk back down the aisle following the ceremony.

“Lancaster Nights” by Charlie Burg - Fortunately, the story took a happier turn, albeit briefly, with Claudia and Halle’s wedding reception. The upbeat “Lancaster Nights” by Charlie Burg helped flip the vibe in Anyone But You as everyone gathered to celebrate the happy couple.

“Bottle Rocket” by Jimi Somewhere - After Bea caught Margaret kissing Ben, she left the wedding reception in tears. Though Ben thought he wanted Margaret back, he realized he was in love with Bea and needed to perform a big romantic gesture to prove it. “Bottle Rocket” by Jimi Somewhere repeats the lines, “You make me want to rip my head off and you make me want to scream It wasn't much, but it meant everything to me.” Once again, the Anyone But You soundtrack found a song that perfectly encapsulated their relationship and feelings for one another.
