26 Songs I Want to Hear in the Girls Reboot

26 Songs I Want to Hear in the Girls Reboot

The Emmy for Outstanding Music Supervision was a relatively new honor when Girls aired its final season, yet the show's soundtrack was already a clear winner. Manish Raval and Tom Wolfe were responsible for curating the series' music, and their choices played a significant role in amplifying both the emotional and comedic aspects of the show.

From moments of vulnerability, like Aimee Mann's "How Am I Different" in the season two episode "Video Games," to cringe-worthy karaoke performances and nude-taking escapades, Girls' soundtrack was always ready to deliver the right song at the right moment. As the show's revival was announced, fans were eager to know which songs would make the cut for the new episodes.

While some definite favorites would have to make the list, such as the new Robyn track or an original Jenny Lewis song, other potential additions included Grace Ives' "Stupid Bitches" and Christine and the Queens' sad anthem "People, I've Been Sad."
