Tori Kelly sings Bridgerton's first original song All I Want for season 3 part 2 soundtrack
By Reed Gaudens
Thanks to a powerhouse vocalist, Bridgerton season 3 will be getting the full superstar treatment. Two-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Tori Kelly will be the amazing voice delivering the hit Netflix series' first-ever original song. "All I Want" will be featured on the soundtrack of the second part of season 3, though Kelly debuted the song with a performance at the season's premiere event.
Since its debut season, Bridgerton has been known for expertly incorporating modern pop music into the show by producing classical covers that play during ball scenes and romantic moments. Ahead of the season's release on May 16, Netflix revealed that season 3 would feature covers of "Snow on the Beach" by Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey as well as "Happier Than Ever" by Billie Eilish among others.
Kelly also performed "All I Want" at the Bridgerton fan wedding event about which she said, "Performing at the wedding was such a magical experience. Every detail of it was so thought out and it felt so special. I’m just honored that I was able to be a small part of such a beautiful day." Watch the multitalented performer debut the romantic ballad at the season 3 premiere in the video below!
"The fact that this is the first time an original song has been a part of Bridgerton makes the whole experience feel even more special! Really, I’m so excited that I get to be a part of this amazing show in my own way."

It's wild that none of the Bridgerton soundtracks have featured original songs, but it's super fitting that Colin and Penelope's season will be graced with a beautiful love song. "All I Want" was written by Rogét Chahayed, Wesley Singerman, Taylor Dexter, and Nicole Cohen. Kris Bowers, whose music has been featured in the series since season 1, composed the orchestral version heard in season 3 part 2.
While Alicia Keys reimagined her hit song "If I Ain't Got You" for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, "All I Want" really will be the first song exclusive to the series. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of more original songs to be featured in later seasons of the series, since season 4 is confirmed to be on the way and the remaining books are still planned to be adapted.
Tori Kelly most recently released her fifth studio album Tori. featuring the singles "Missin U," "High Water," and "Thing U Do" in April 2024 and was featured as a guest mentor on the latest season of American Idol. She's been nominated for five Grammy Awards, winning two for Best Gospel Album for her album Hiding Place and Best Gospel Song for her single "Never Alone" with Kirk Franklin. With her new song from Bridgerton, she just might have another Grammy nomination in her future.
