Firework

Katy Perry

As tensions erupt in Eddington- mask debates, accusations flying, and a near-breakdown in town politics- “Firework” explodes over the chaos, ironically lighting up a series of confrontations. The upbeat anthem sharply contrasts the scene’s unraveling order, fueling the energy of abrupt protests and municipal division. The irony is on purpose, turning Perry’s message of self-empowerment into a musical fireworks display over America’s splintering community.

Little Bit of Love

Tom Grennan

In the aftermath of violence, characters scramble for connection and forgiveness in the rubble- literally and emotionally. “Little Bit of Love” underlines the sense of longing as survivors try to make sense of pain and pick up their lives. The gentle hope of the song is almost painfully out of place, serving as a wistful anthem for people desperate for compassion and second chances.

As the film closes, “Courtyard” captures a rare, fragile stillness after the dust settles. As characters pause, perhaps reflecting on losses and what their fractured community has become, the song brings a gentle, rootsy hush that lands with both nostalgia and relief- letting everyone exhale for the first time in hours.
