And Just Like That... season 2 features a vibrant and contemporary soundtrack, much like its predecessor Sex and the City. The music selection reflects the glamorous and fast-paced lifestyle of New York City, capturing the essence of a jet-set existence. As the second season continues the story from where the first left off, the characters navigate the challenges of relationships, family, and careers in their 50s. Just like the show's emphasis on fashion and style, the music in And Just Like That... is equally trendy and up-to-date, both in terms of diegetic music and songs incorporated into the soundtrack. Drawing inspiration from the music of the 1990s and early 2000s, the tone of the show remains true to its focus on friendship, with occasional emotionally charged scenes. Season 1 and season 2 of And Just Like That... feature tracks from a diverse range of artists, including Britney Spears, the Eagles, and Eurythmics. Similar to how Carrie and her friends seek out the unique and innovative, the soundtrack of And Just Like That... showcases lesser-known artists and underappreciated songs from well-established acts.
And Just Like That... Season 2, Episode 1: “Met Cute”
Sarah Jessica Parker in And Just Like That... season 2
“This poppy Thai funk-influenced song with a hint of electronica sets the upbeat tone as the women make their way to the Met Gala in the first episode of And Just Like That... season 2. The music reaches its peak when Lisa Todd Wexley gracefully crosses the street, donning a stunning and extravagant red gown that trails behind her, requiring her husband to carry the swirling hemline.”
And Just Like That... Season 2, Episode 2: “The Real Deal”
"Hong Kong Garden" by Siouxsie & The Banshees sets the tone as the credits roll, seamlessly transitioning in after Carrie's decision to incorporate her boxed-up wedding dress into her Met Gala ensemble. Carrie's declaration of repurposing her pain is immediately followed by the powerful blast of "Hong Kong Garden."
In the series And Just Like That..., Lily York Goldenblatt, the talented and intelligent daughter of Charlotte, impresses her family by playing an original piano arrangement, leaving them in awe.
"Hotel California" by the Eagles sets the nostalgic tone in the second episode of And Just Like That... season 2 as Miranda realizes she has misplaced her phone while participating in volunteer work on the beach. The timeless rock song continues to accompany her as she approaches a duo of laid-back surfers from Los Angeles, who graciously lend her their phone as they enjoy some recreational marijuana, creating a seamless blend of music and atmosphere.
"La Paz" by Sam Himself, featured on the And Just Like That... season 2 soundtrack, adds a compelling layer to the scene as it emanates from Lyle's car radio when Miranda enters. The diegetic song becomes more prominent when Lyle reveals the unexpected news that he and Che are still married, giving rise to an uncomfortable silence, eventually filled by Sam Himself's heartfelt music.
