Read moreWhen Anna of the North released “Lovers” in 2017, it was already a dreamy synth-pop gem, filled with wistful vocals and lush production that captured the ache of young romance. But it wasn’t until Netflix dropped To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before in 2018 that the song truly cemented its place in pop culture history. Featured in key moments of Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky’s adorably awkward love story, “Lovers” became more than just a soundtrack, it became the anthem of soft, hopeful, teenage crush energy.
The magic of “Lovers” lies in its vulnerability. The lyrics capture the yearning of wanting to connect with someone but being terrified of rejection, mirroring Lara Jean’s character arc perfectly. In a movie all about secret love letters, the song plays like an open diary entry: unfiltered, delicate, and painfully honest. It’s no wonder audiences felt like the music was speaking directly to them.
Fast forward to now, and “Lovers” is having a full-circle comeback. TikTok and Instagram Reels have rediscovered the track, using it as a backdrop for everything from nostalgic edits of the To All the Boys trilogy to romantic travel montages and dreamy aesthetic reels. It’s become Gen Z’s new way of saying, “This moment feels cinematic.” The song’s airy production makes every 15-second clip feel like a soft-focus indie film.
The correlation between "To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and the renewed success of “Lovers” is a perfect example of how film and music feed into each other. Just as Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” shot back into charts thanks to Stranger Things, Anna of the North’s track is re-entering playlists because of its nostalgic tie to Lara Jean’s love story. Fans who grew up with the movie are now re-sharing the song, while new listeners are falling for its dreamy vibe for the first time.
“Lovers” isn’t just trendy again; it’s proof that some songs age like fine wine. Its themes of vulnerability and longing feel timeless, and paired with the cultural staying power of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, the track has become an emotional timestamp for an entire generation. For many, hearing “Lovers” is like opening an old letter, a reminder of first crushes, quiet confessions, and the butterflies of young love.
