- “All I Want” – Kodaline
From Ewan’s soul to Juliet’s door. This song captures his aching desire to be enough—for her, for the title, for the life they might have. - “Poison & Wine” – The Civil Wars
A duet of tension and contradiction. They love each other deeply, yet fear what that love might cost. This is them in the in-between. - “Jealous” – Labrinth
Juliet’s heartbreak when she watches Ewan distance himself—when duty feels louder than love. - “Say You Love Me” – Jessie Ware
Her quiet demand, layered with vulnerability and fire. She has opened herself fully, but needs him to meet her halfway. - “I Get to Love You” – Ruelle
The turning point. When Ewan finally lets himself feel it all and realizes love is not a burden—but a privilege. - “Already Gone” – Sleeping At Last
A moment of letting go—of fear, of past wounds, of expectations. It’s the shedding of everything that’s kept them apart. - “From the Dining Table” – Harry Styles
A lonely echo of regret. This could be Ewan after one of their most distant evenings, longing for what he’s too proud to say. - “The One” – Kodaline
A soft confession, late at night. The kind of love that feels both terrifying and utterly certain. - “Unsteady (Erich Lee Gravity Remix)” – X Ambassadors
When the world threatens to pull them under, this is their emotional fragility laid bare. Both strong, yet desperate for each other. - “Better” – Ben Platt
The resolution. This is what love looks like when it chooses to stay. To grow. To become more than either of them imagined.
