It’s been wrenching our hearts and dehydrating our tear ducts, but according to our socials, One Day is also shaping our playlists. Based on the classic David Nicholls novel, the book was peppered with music references, and the show does not disappoint in delivering a pitch-perfect vibe of every year between 1988 and 2003.

So, whether you’re an Eighties aficionado, Nineties club kid, or Noughties trip-hop try hard, they’ve tapped into our emotions through our ears as much as through the acting.
