The The Kissing Booth 2 soundtrack is almost a character itself. During the film's 131-minute runtime, nearly 40 songs keep the storyline moving along, especially during various montage sequences that align with classic romantic comedy tropes.
The Kissing Booth 2 once again follows Elle Evans (Joey King), who tries to maintain a romantic relationship with her boyfriend Noah Flynn (Jacob Elordi), who leaves for college at the end of the original film. While preparing for a dance competition with her best friend, Lee Flynn (Joel Courtney) - Noah's brother - Elle meets a charismatic transfer student named Marco (Taylor Perez), and also discovers that her boyfriend has an alluring new female friend (Maisie Richardson-Sellers as Chloe) at Harvard University in Boston. The Kissing Booth 2 is heavy on character dancing, and so the soundtrack is mostly upbeat from act to act.
As a whole, The Kissing Booth 2 soundtrack includes a variety of indie pop songs. During a mid-movie montage sequence, a familiar romantic comedy anthem plays as Elle and company deal with everyday teenage drama. By the end, a cover of a Beach Boys classic serves as narrative punctuation mark. Here's every featured song in The Kissing Booth 2.

The Kissing Booth 2 opens with "More" as Elle begins her senior year, and "You Want Some of This" plays when her comments about Marco are broadcast to the entire school. "Come and Get It" sets in during an outdoor competition sequence, and Marco performs a cover of "What I Like About You" in Santa Monica. When Elle and Lee discover the true identity of "MVP" at the local arcade, "The Best" scores the moment.
Elle and Marco dance to "Wanderlust" at a Halloween party, and The Asteroids Galaxy Tour makes a cameo for a live performance of "Fantasy Friends Forever." After Rachel confronts Elle, "Build Me Up Buttercup" plays over a lengthy montage sequence. Once Elle finally decides to "let go," "Lost in the Wild" plays during a scene with Marco, and then again for their Dance Dance Mania performance.
"Welcome to the Party" kicks off a Homecoming sequence, and "Twist Shake Shout" plays when the kissing booth opens for business. "Carry You" accompanies a dramatic moment when Ollie expresses his true feelings, and The Kissing Booth 2 ends with a cover of "Good Vibrations" as main characters drive along the Pacific Coast. "Someday Somehow" wraps up the Netflix film and plays over a blooper reel.
