Every Song In Zendaya's New Movie, From Opening Scene To End Credits

Let's talk about The Drama. If you haven't heard of it yet, you're about to, because this thing is not just riding on the star power of Zendaya and Robert Pattinson—it's got a soundtrack that genuinely elevates the entire vibe. Honestly, it's one of those films where you walk out (or, if you're watching at home, just sit in stunned silence after) and immediately start googling the music. Yup, it's that good.

Plot, Cast, and Context

Here's the gist: The Drama is a sharp, moody ride through romantic chaos. Kristoffer Borgli (who both wrote and directed this one) drops us right into the story of an engaged couple who are basically living the romcom dream—until a totally unexpected revelation lands in their laps a week before the wedding and blows everything up. It's smart, it's tense, and it walks that tightrope between heart and cynicism.

Speaking of smart, let's talk about that cast for a second:

• Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as the leads (yes, that on-screen chemistry is just as electric as it sounds)
• Alana Haim
• Mamoudou Athie
• Hailey Benton Gates
• Sydney Lemmon
• Hannah Gross
• Anna Baryshnikov
• Jordyn Curet
• And a surprisingly deep supporting roster

If that all sounds a little stacked—well, it is.

Release, Reception, and the Money Angle

The film premiered in Hollywood at the DGA Theater Complex on March 17, 2026 (mark your calendars if you want to brag about being an early adopter), and got its wide US release from A24 on April 3. Critics have been mostly positive, with the reviews landing on the favorable side. For the number crunchers: it pulled in about $28 million at the global box office, which happens to line up perfectly with its production budget. Nobody's getting rich off this one, but nobody's running for the exits, either.

The Music: What's on the Soundtrack?

Now, here's the part the internet is buzzing about—the soundtrack. Seriously, it's a wild mix: moody, retro, dreamy, and sometimes just plain weird. Whoever handled music supervision for this movie has taste, and probably a seriously eclectic playlist at home.

For anyone dying to find 'that one song from the breakup scene,' here's the complete list of tracks featured in The Drama:

• 'Pieces Of Yours' – Mackeeper
• 'Blue Water' – Sally Oldfield
• 'I Want You To Know Me' – White Light
• 'Leisure Suit Preben' – Todd Terje
• 'Wind' – John Carroll Kirby
• 'Sky Turns Red' – Jordan Raf, Ben Leach, Zach Galsky
• 'I Want to Lay With You' – Shira Small
• 'Inside Out' – Jesse Rae
• 'The Lamb Ran Away With The Crown (Remastered)' – Judee Sill
• 'Boom Dat Sh--' – Skinny Pimp ft. Lady B
• 'The Wind' – Nolan Strong & The Diablos
• 'Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart' – Alicia Keys
• 'You Got Time And I Got Money' – Smerz
• 'Sans Vous Aimer' – Juliette Gréco
• 'Skinny Shouts' – Skinny Pimp
• 'Tangerine' – Jackie Gleason
• 'Again' – Katie Fash
• 'Forget About' – Sibylle Baier
• 'Do Your Thing' – Moondog

If you're thinking, 'That's a mix of deep cuts, off-kilter pop, and a few classics I wouldn't have guessed in a million years,' you're absolutely right.

So, Should You Care?

Between the top-tier acting, the heavy dose of emotional chaos, and a soundtrack that's basically a character in its own right, The Drama is worth checking out—even if you're just in it for the music. (And trust me, you'll want to Shazam more than one track before the credits roll.)

As Borgli put it in interviews:

'The music in The Drama is there to push you deeper into the characters' heads. Every track is tailored to make you feel something—sometimes unease, sometimes nostalgia, but always something.'

For once, the marketing blurb actually matches the movie.
