When it comes to the After movie franchise, drama and romance are always at the center. But if there’s one element that elevates the story even further, it’s the music. After We Collided, the second installment in the beloved series based on Anna Todd’s bestselling novels, delivered not only in terms of steamy chemistry between Tessa (Josephine Langford) and Hardin (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) but also in its soundtrack — a carefully curated collection of songs that set the mood and raised the sexy stakes to an entirely new level.
Music as the Pulse of the Story
The After films have always leaned heavily on music to amplify the emotions of their characters. In After We Collided, the soundtrack works like a heartbeat for Tessa and Hardin’s intense relationship. From quiet, vulnerable moments to explosive, passionate encounters, the score and song choices mirror the rollercoaster of their love story. Each track pulls the audience deeper into the intoxicating push-and-pull that defines their romance.
Steamy Vibes and Sensual Beats
Unlike the first film, which struck a more youthful and innocent tone, After We Collided embraces darker, more mature themes. The soundtrack reflects this shift. Pop, indie, and electronic tracks with sultry beats dominate the playlist, heightening the sensual energy of the film. Every heated glance and stolen kiss between Tessa and Hardin feels more electric because of the music weaving through the background.
Standout Tracks Fans Can’t Forget
Several tracks from the After We Collided soundtrack became instant fan favorites. Each one captures the intoxicating essence of the couple’s romance:
-
Emotional indie ballads that highlight Tessa’s internal struggles as she tries to reconcile her heart with her head.
-
Dark, bass-heavy pop songs that fuel the fiery passion in her scenes with Hardin.
-
Dreamy, atmospheric melodies that slow things down, offering a glimpse into their rare, tender moments.
It’s this mixture of fiery passion and emotional vulnerability in the music that gives fans exactly what they crave — a soundtrack as layered as the relationship it represents.
A Perfect Fit for the ‘After’ Fandom
The soundtrack doesn’t just complement the movie — it amplifies the entire After experience. For fans, listening to these songs outside the theater or streaming platforms feels like reliving their favorite scenes. The music taps into the universal emotions of desire, heartbreak, and longing, making it relatable even to those who haven’t lived a Tessa-and-Hardin style romance.
After We Collided proved that the After franchise isn’t only about dramatic love stories but also about creating a vibe. The soundtrack left a lasting impression, cementing itself as one of the key reasons fans return to the film again and again. It pushed boundaries, turned up the heat, and gave the audience a more mature, emotionally charged experience.
