Dearest reader, the countdown to Bridgerton season four, part two is officially on, and fans have a new reason to get excited. The show has revealed the classical covers that will feature in each episode —and they include a familiar face returning to the Regency-era soundtrack.
If you've watched the first three seasons, you'll know that music plays a particularly important role in the Bridgerton universe. Until this point, instrumental renditions of hits from Billie Eilish’s 'Bad Guy' to Taylor Swift’s 'Wildest Dreams' have laid the grounds for some of the most romantic declarations we've seen on screen in some time. So, which hits will be transformed into elegant Regency-era scores in season four? Everything we know about the soundtrack, below.
Episode one
Episode one kicks off the season with a return from a familiar face: Pitbull. Fans of the series might remember his cameo in season three, where his instrumental take on “Give Me Everything” set the scene for a pivotal carriage moment alongside Ne-Yo, Afrojack, and Nayer. This time, the regally orchestrated soundtrack will feature Pitbull in a classical interpretation of Usher’s 'DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love.' Hit after hit.
Episode one also features classical takes on Coldplay’s 'Life in Technicolor' and Third Eye Blind’s 'Never Let You Go.' Coldplay’s sweeping anthem has been transformed into an elegant orchestral piece, perfect for the grandeur of Bridgerton’s ballrooms (and perhaps a masquerade ball, dare we suggest?), while Third Eye Blind’s 90s hit is reimagined as a delicate, string-led arrangement, ideal for secret glances and a whole lot of yearning.
Episode two
Next up we were gifted a classical rendition of Taylor Swift’s 'Enchanted'. Given the song’s fairytale sensibility, it feels very apt for a slow-burn romance, and perhaps a chance encoutner at a masquerade ball unfolding beneath glittering chandeliers.
Episode three
Episode three was punctuated by a reworking of Paramore’s 'All I Wanted', featuring swelling strings designed to underscore a romantic confession long in the making.
Episode four
Olivia Rodrigo’s 'Bad Idea Right?' received the orchestral treatment in this episode. The pop-punk edge may have been softened by strings, but the sense of impulsive longing was very much still there.
Episode five
Now we're in new territory. Episode five is reported to feature three massive hits: Charli xcx’s '360', Billie Eilish’s 'Birds of a Feather', and Teddy Swims’ 'Lose Control'. Don't mind if we do.
Episode six
In episode six things (seem) to take a slightly more emotional turn, with tracks including 'Just What I Needed' by The Cars, and Sting's 'Fields of Gold.'
Episode eight
If there was ever a pairing designed for a sweeping finale, it’s this one: Camila Cabello’s 'Never Be The Same' and Lord Huron’s 'The Night We Met'.
While we wait for part two to drop, why not brush up on all the details surrounding Bridgerton season five and which sibling will take the lead?
