In its portrayal of a young girl’s exploration of romance and love, Amazon Prime Video’s The Other Zoey features several mellow songs that effectively enhance one’s viewing experience. Although director Sara Zandieh’s The Other Zoey seemingly draws inspiration from the tropes and story beats of several rom-com movies of the early aughts, it etches its name in the genre by giving audiences a contemporary look at familiar ideas. It follows the tale of a brilliant college girl, Zoey, who refuses to believe that romantic love is anything more than a social construct. To prove this, she even created a compatibility application.
However, her life turns upside down when a boy from her college, Zach, loses his memory after an accident and starts mistaking her for his girlfriend. Although Zoey initially plays along to ensure Zach does not experience any emotional trauma because of his amnesia, things get complicated when Zach’s cousin, Miles, enters the equation. While walking audiences through Zoey’s complex journey, the Amazon Prime rom-com movie features several songs and original soundtracks that reflect where Zoey stands in her rite of passage.

- “Get Up” by San Fernando Ramblers

Every Song On The Other Zoey Soundtrack
“Get Up” by San Fernando Ramblers: San Fernando Ramblers’ “Get Up” plays in The Other Zoey in its opening moments when Zoey tries pitching her new app to everyone, but no one pays attention to her claims about compatibility.
“Product of Capitalism” by John Swihart: “Product of Capitalism” can be heard in the background when Miles has a discussion about romantic love with one of his professors. During this scene, he also quotes philosopher Alain de Botton, claiming that romance is more of a social construct invented by modern-day media.
“What I Like About You” by The Romantics: This track plays in The Other Zoey when Zach tries getting closer to Zoey by holding her hand, but she resists.
“Nightvisions” by The Technicolors: The Technicolors’ “Nightvisions” shows up in The Other Zoey when Zach’s parents prepare for a skiing trip by wearing sunglasses and putting on their skis.
“Why Not” by Becca Lynn: When Miles and Zoey go snowboarding the first time, Miles tries teaching her by holding her arm. Unfortunately for Zoey, she slips and crashes into a group of children. This is when Becca Lynn’s “Why Not” can be heard in the backdrop.
“It Was Easy For Me” by The Studio Group: This one plays when Zoey joins Zach’s family for supper and Matt opens up about the first time he met Connie in Italy.
“Sunshine” by The Jaynetts: The Jaynetts’ “Sunshine” can be heard in The Other Zoey when Zoey watches Miles from distance while he does his homework. Zach interrupts her by asking her if she wants to watch a film.
“Spectrum” by Andrew Belle: This track marks the beginning of Elle’s romantic journey in The Other Zoey. It plays when Elle intentionally orders more food to encounter the delivery man, and kisses him when he shows up at her doorway.
“Good Day For Living” by Joe Nichols: When Zach and Zoey accompany Avery back to her cabin to get her gloves, Zoey throws a snowball at Zach. During this scene, Joe Nichols’ “Good Day for Living” plays in the background, raising its upbeat vibe.
“Gimmer” by Nicole Serrano: This one can be heard in The Other Zoey when Zoey starts warming up to Zach and does not hold herself back from holding his hand.
“Upside of Down” by SVRCINA: SVRCINA’s “Upside of Down” highlights Zoey’s angst when she rushes out of her class in The Other Zoey and channels her frustration by screaming into her pillow. The song perfectly captures the essence of how her love life makes her feel.
“Used To” by Lila Drew: This Lila Drew track can be faintly heard in the backdrop Francesca and Becca approach Zoey and ask her if she can help them organize the Jam Festival.
“Holding On” by Akylla: “Holding On” booms in the background as the Jam Festival ensues in The Other Zoey‘s final arc and the central college’s students dance together.
“Wow!” by Bubble Club!: As The Other Zoey reaches its closing scenes and the titular characters enters the Jam Fest looking for Zach, “Wow!” can be heard in the backdrop.
“Magical” by Alltop: This song marks the end of the movie where Zach surprisingly confesses that he broke up with Zoey Wallace, which convinces Zoey that he shares the same feelings as her. Alltop’s “Magical” plays when they kiss and the movie’s end credits start rolling.
