The Runarounds soundtrack guide: A complete list of the music in the Prime Video series

Prime Video’s new series The Runarounds made its debut in early September 2025, created by Jonas Pate, best known for Outer Banks. The show follows a group of five friends in Wilmington, North Carolina, who form a band during their senior year of high school.

With music at the center of the story, the soundtrack has quickly become one of the most talked-about parts of the series. The cast includes William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock, and Jesse Golliher as the band members, with Lilah Pate, Marley Aliah, and Maximo Salas also in key roles.

To match the coming-of-age theme, The Runarounds' soundtrack mixes original tracks written for the fictional band with an eclectic mix of classic and contemporary songs. From Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones to newer acts like Wet Leg and The Backseat Lovers, the music helps shape the energy of each episode.
