Warning: This article contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Heart Eyes!
The horror rom-com Heart Eyes includes an entertaining soundtrack that caters to the Valentine’s Day theme, adding a mix of popular and obscure love songs. Taking clear inspiration from the Scream franchise, the 2025 film follows two work colleagues named Mason and Ally, who get mistaken as a couple by the serial killer, the Heart Eyes Killer, who targets couples on Valentine’s Day. Heart Eyes has extremely positive reviews because of its meta-humor, sharp wit, and heavy gore.
The cast of Heart Eyes must also get credit for their compelling performances that keep audiences invested. Olivia Holt makes a fantastic scream queen who should continue acting in horror. While all these elements are excellent, one aspect of Heart Eyes is equally important but is less discussed. The music in the horror rom-com does a lot of heavy lifting, keeping the Valentine’s Day setting omnipresent in the audience’s mind even when the тιтular villain isn’t onscreen. The film keeps things interesting by using a mix of well-known and less-popular songs, and every selection fits perfectly in the scene.

Where To Listen To Heart Eyes’ Soundtrack
Some Of Heart Eyes’ Songs Will Be Difficult To Find Online
While Heart Eyes has a fun and eclectic soundtrack that’s certainly relistenable, many of the songs in the film will be difficult for fans to get ahold of after leaving the movie theater. Unfortunately, the uniqueness of the soundtrack is also the thing that makes it hard to access.
Nearly every song can be accessed through YouTube videos, and the more popular songs from the movie are also available to stream on major platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. However, fans can always rewatch Heart Eyes in theaters or wait until the film hits streaming to enjoy the Valentine’s Day-themed soundtrack again.
