Songs that feel like Fleabag (2016)
Sharp, witty melancholy that mixes raw confession with dark humour and lonely yearning.
- I Dare You by The xx: Sparse production and confessional lyrics mirror the show's intimate confessions and emotional restraint.
- Light On by Maggie Rogers: Bright yet vulnerable pop captures the mix of humor and hidden pain in the protagonist’s moments.
- Should Have Known Better by Sufjan Stevens: Reflective folk‑rock about regret and family ties aligns with Fleabag’s grief and guilt.
- Dancing by Kylie Minogue: A dance‑floor anthem that feels like the character’s desperate, sarcastic attempts to “dance” through trauma.
- Held Down by Laura Marling: Dark acoustic tone and lyrical self‑scrutiny match the show’s moments of raw introspection.
- If I Had a Heart by Fever Ray: Brooding electronic mood and eerie vocals echo the show’s cynical, night‑time London vibe.
- Loving Is Easy by Rex Orange County: Playful, slightly off‑kilter pop reflects Fleabag’s witty banter and uneasy flirtations.
- Army Of Me by Björk: Aggressive, self‑assertive anthem that channels the protagonist’s fierce, confrontational spirit.
