Summary

• Dive into the nostalgic and modern sound of Mother of the Bride's soundtrack for a perfect vacation romance vibe.
• Escape into a world of second chances and fun with this romcom featuring a mix of classic and new party tunes.
• Join Lana, Will, and their college group on a wild beach adventure filled with beachy tunes and heartwarming moments.

The 2024 movie Mother of the Bride is a classic wedding weekend romcom, and its vacation-worthy soundtrack pulls it all together. The Netflix film follows Lana (Brooke Sheilds), who is surprised to discover that her daughter Emma (Miranda Cosgrove) is marrying the son of her college sweetheart, Will (Benjamin Bratt). Naturally, this means plenty of uncomfortable moments and a fair bit of chaos during their destination getaway in Phuket, Thailand. Between this tropical paradise and the high-energy soundtrack, Mother of Bride perfectly captures the essence of a vacation romance.

This 2024 Netflix romantic comedy is all about second chances, and rather than focusing solely on the romance of a 20-something-year-olds, it sees a middle-aged couple relive their fun and free college years. This means Mother of the Bride needed a good mix of oldie classics, like "We Got the Beat" by The Go-Go's and even "Chapel of Love" by The Dixie Cups. Of course, the Netflix movie is also a fresh and fun vacation flick, which means newer party songs like "I'm Good (Blue)" by David Guetta and Bebe Rexha, "Queen of Stacks" by Daniel Lobel, and "DONG" by Bear Knuckle added the perfect touch.

When Every Song On The Mother Of The Bride Soundtrack Plays In The Movie

Mother Of The Bride's Soundtrack Brings That Beachy Feel To Its Plot

I'm Good (Blue) by David Guetta & Bebe Rexha - The first song we hear in Mother of the Bride is "I'm Good (Blue)" by David Guetta and Bebe Rexha, which is a remix of the 1999 song "Blue" by Eiffel 65, making the perfect mix of nostalgia and modern-party fun. It plays as Shield and Cosgrove's Mother of the Bride characters arrive in Phuket, Thailand. The combination of the song with the breathtaking tropical beaches and mountain views perfectly sets the tone for a fun vacation romcom.

Mona Lisa by Ray Evans & Jay Livingston - This lovely piano tune is first heard in Mother of the Bride when a harpist plays it while RJ proposes to Emma. Later, the song is referenced again in Thailand when it is revealed that "Mona Lisa" by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston (originally by Nat King Cole) was Will and Lana's song when they were in college. The duo dances to the lovely tune as the wedding party practices for Emma and RJ's big day. It is later heard when Lana catches Will nostalgically playing it on the piano.

Queen of Stacks (feat. Patty Monroe) by Daniel Lobel - A significant change from the smooth melody of "Mona Lisa," this Daniel Lobel song plays as Lana arrives at the beach bar for her date with the hunky Lucas (Chad Michael), a fellow doctor whom the titular Mother of the Bride met after her pickle-ball incident with Will. Since Lucas is significantly younger than Lana, "Queen of Stacks" serves as the perfect contrast from her slow dance with Will, demonstrating how this environment takes Lana out of her comfort zone.

We Got the Beat by The Go-Go’s - This 1981 song plays as Lana, Will, and the rest of their old college group decide to spend the day reliving their younger years on the beach. "We Got the Beat" by The Go-Go's continues to play as they raid the grocery store, grabbing snacks and alcohol for their "party like we're young" moment in the sun.

Chapel Of Love by The Dixie Cups - As the Mother of the Bride takes a quick break from Lana's college gang on the beach, Emma and RJ are seen enjoying a beach day themselves. In an effort to get the bride-to-be to stop focusing so much on work, RJ begins singing the Dixie Cups classic "Chapel of Love," and the pair eventually end up singing an adorable duet together (which is met with applause from the other beach-goers).

Surfside by Douglas Kinloch - Lana, Will, and the gang take their beach party to a new level in Mother of the Bride when they decide to go skinny-dipping, just as they used to back in college. As they charge, fully naked, toward the ocean, the perfectly fitting song "Surfise" by Douglas Kinloch plays out.

Mother of the Bride is available to stream on Netflix.

Vacation by Priya Ragu - After Lana and Will had their touching heart-to-heart at Lover's Cove in Mother of the Bride, and Emma decides to have the wedding of her own dreams rather than the one her sponsors want, the family and friends finally manage to enjoy their vacation. In the following montage, which sees the group hit the beach, go shopping in town, hit the barber and spas, and run through their wedding rehearsal as the song "Vacation" by Priya Ragu plays, emphasizing the fact that everyone is finally able to let loose and have a good time.

DONG by Bear Knuckle -The final song of Mother of the Bride is "DONG" by Bear Knuckle. It plays as Lana and Will fall into the pool after the former accepts the latter's heartwarming proposal. The 2022 party song continues as the rest of the wedding guests jump in as well, and the scene transitions to a massive group dance before Mother of the Bride's end credits roll.
