Since All I Need comes out on May 21 (which is almost freaking here), it’s time to post the official playlist. I do playlists for all of my books. You can see them on my website. Plus they’re all up on Spotify.
When I was writing All I Need, songs of my past summers kept playing in my head. The book is a sweet summer romance filled with old-school nostalgia. Seth is all about the 80s (and some late 70s) music. He believes that the best music was written back then. So I knew that the All I Need playlist had to include classic summer songs from when I was a teen. Check it:
1. “The Boys of Summer” – Don Henley
2. “Perfect Way” – Scritti Politti
3. “Heart of Glass” – Blondie
4. “All My Love” – Led Zeppelin
5. “My Sharona” – The Knack
6. “Safety Dance” – Men Without Hats
7. “Alive and Kicking” – Simple Minds
8. “Bye Bye Love” – The Cars
9. “Take It on the Run” – REO Speedwagon
10. “If You Leave” – OMD
11. “Endless Summer Nights” – Richard Marx
12. “Head Over Heels” – Tears for Fears
13. “Waiting for a Girl Like You” – Foreigner
Get your retro jam on.

Wow now I really can’t wait to read this book. I’m a huge 80’s fan (I know all the songs on this playlist). I know the book’s just going to be awesome with a playlist like this 🙂
Yay! I love that you love the 80s music. Nothing compares.
Never heard any of these, but… I’m excited for my new playlist! But love Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Don’t You Forget About Me. Man, I only know those songs because of Psych…
I hope this playlist opens up some doors for you. New music is always fun…and 80s music is fun in a zany, catchy way. Enjoy!
YES! i’ve been super into 80s music since i first watched The Breakfast Club last month and this is PERFECT!
Of course The Breakfast Club (and a song from the movie) are mentioned in All I Need 😉
Totally awesome! I loved growing up in the 80s and I love the music too!! Can’t wait to read All I Need!!
Sweet! Thanks for your enthusiasm 😀
I am so excited. I can’t believe that I actually know most of these songs due to the fact I was born in 1997. Well I guess my dad singing oldies around the house finally paid off. Can’t wait for next week! Yikes 🙂
Ha! Gotta love your dad singing those oldies. And that 80s music is now referred to as “oldies.” Yikes 😉
