Bridgerton season 3 part 2 soundtrack features Ariana Grande, Coldplay, and more covers
By Reed Gaudens
Aside from the next-level romance and the captivating love stories that unfold in each season and episode of Bridgerton, one of the most exciting aspects of the Netflix original series is its music. Since the first season, the period drama has featured orchestral covers of modern hit pop songs, staying true to the Regency era but with a tongue-in-cheek nod to the present.
So far, the third season has contained a handful of memorable covers in the first part, including "Give Me Everything" by Pitbull, Ne-Yo, and Afrojack during the carriage scene and "Snow on the Beach" by Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey during a dancing sequence at a ball. More popular songs such as "Happier Than Ever" by Billie Eilish, "ABCDEFU" by Gayle, and "Cheap Thrills" by Sia were in part 1, too.
Before the release of season 3 part 2 on June 13, Netflix went ahead and revealed the remainder of the season's covers, and the lineup includes another Taylor Swift smash hit, an Ariana Grande ballad, and a Demi Lovato power anthem. If you wish to remain unspoiled for the exact songs and their episodic placement don't continue reading. But below, we're sharing each song and its episode!
Season 3 episode 5 soundtrack
- "POV" by Ariana Grande covered by Strings from Paris
- “Cavendish Fanfares No. 6” by 5 Alarm
- "Dissonance" String Quartet No. 19 in C Major K.465- III. Menuetto (Excerpt) (a)” by APM
- “String Quartet No. 1 in G Major, KV. 80/73f: III. Menuetto” by APM
- “Palm Court 2” by 5 Alarm
The only cover featured in the fifth episode of season 3 comes courtesy of Ariana Grande. The Grammy winner's 2020 love song "POV" gets the orchestral treatment for the first episode of part 2, which contextually makes sense given how part 1 ended. (No spoilers!) In the song, Grande sings about feeling insecure about herself and tells her partner, "I wanna love me the way that you love me / For all of my pretty and all of my ugly, too / I'd love to see me from my point of view." It's very fitting for Colin and Penelope's love story. Check out Grande's live performance of the song below!
Season 3 episode 6 soundtrack
- “Thunder” by Imagine Dragons covered by Thomas Mercier
- "Confident" by Demi Lovato covered by Archer Marsh
- “String Quartet Op 1 #5 - Presto” by APM
- “Wiener Gemuts-Walzer - Op. 116” by 5 Alarm
Season 3 episode 7 soundtrack
- “Offertorium” (PD arrangement by Edward Farmer) - Production Owned
- “Andantino” (PD arrangement by Edward Farmer) - Production Owned
- “Yellow” by Coldplay covered by Vitamin String Quartet
- “String Quartet in B-flat Major Hob III” by APM
- “String Quartet in F Major Op 3 No 5 Serenade Quartet” by APM
- “You Belong With Me” by Taylor Swift covered by Duomo
The seventh episode of the season features season 3's second Taylor Swift cover after part 1's take on "Snow on the Beach." This time around, Bridgerton goes for a throwback in the form of the 2008 global hit "You Belong with Me." Honestly, there's no bad choice when it comes to a Taylor Swift cover for this show, but "Anti-Hero" seems so tailor made for Penelope and her double life as Lady Whistledown. It's a missed opportunity to not have used that particular Swift hit.
Season 3 episode 8 soundtrack
- “Mont Joi Azur” by APM
- “Sonata For Piano 4 Hands in C Major, K. 521: II. Andante” (PD) - Production Owned
- “Lights (Stripped Down)” by Ellie Goulding covered by Archer Marsh

- “String Quartet Op 1 #2 - Presto” by APM

- “String Quartet D-Major 'Hoffmeister' K.499” by APM
- “All I Want” by Tori Kelly covered by Kris Bowers
