The "Va Sing Street" soundtrack was more than just a collection of songs; it was a tribute to the R&B and hip-hop artists who dominated the music landscape in the 1990s.

: The film's standout pop anthem, echoing the upbeat energy of Hall & Oates.

Raw, unpolished, and brilliantly awkward. This track captures the essence of every garage band’s first demo. Its jangly guitars, deadpan vocals, and simple-but-catchy chorus are incredibly charming. It’s a fan favorite for its honesty—no auto-tune, no pretension, just the sound of teenagers figuring it out.
