Episode 1

• Life In Technicolour (Coldplay) - Vitamin String Quartet
• DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love (Usher ft Pitbull) - Strings From Paris
• Never Let You Go (Third Eye Blind) by Vitamin String Quartet

This classic Coldplay instrumental song from the band’s 2008 album Viva La Vida is reimagined by the Vitamin String Quartet to soundtrack Sophie’s entrance to Violet’s masquerade ball.

Pitbull makes a return after last season’s ‘Give Me Everything’, with an upbeat cover of ‘DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love’ for a dance scene.

A pizzicato-heavy ‘Never Let You Go’ by San Fran rockers Third Eye Blind is the perfect backdrop for Queen Charlotte forbidding Lady Danbury from leaving Mayfair.

Episode 2

• Enchanted (Taylor Swift) - Joseph William Morgan

This Taylor Swift cover has been included to satisfy the fans, who’d clamoured for its inclusion in Episode 1’s masquerade ball. Here it’s used when Sophie spies Benedict through the door of Penwood House and, unlike other Bridgerton tracks, it’s lushly scored for full orchestra.

Episode 3

• All I Wanted (Paramore) - Vitamin String Quartet

You might remember Vitamin String Quartet’s 2024 album that reinterpreted the soaring pop choruses of American punk-pop band Paramore. The ninth track on the album, All I Wanted, is a gentle soaring version of one of the band’s most tender love songs. It’s used to score Violet and Marcus’s first kiss.

Episode 4

• bad idea right? (Olivia Rodrigo) by Caleb Chan

The signature heavy bassline of Olivia Rodrigo’s pop banger is reimagined as mad fiddle in Caleb Chan’s reworking of bad idea, right? The frenetic playing and delicious glissandos reflects the wordless passion between Benedict and Sophie. It’s a bad idea, right? Well, not according to these two (or the fans, by all accounts)...

Why do the covers work so well?

Season 4 knows what’s good for it and sticks closely to Bridgerton’s now‑signature formula.

The LA-based Vitamin String Quartet remains the musical mainstay of the soundtrack, joined by guests such as Strings From Paris, Joseph William Morgan and Caleb Chan. These guest appearances stop the music from sounding too samey.

As always, the song titles are not-so-subtle reminders of the plot but the familiarity of the songs mean that nobody’s left guessing for long.
