    Every Song on ‘Firefly Lane’

    From “Dancing Queen” to “Landslide.”

For a show like Firefly Lane that spans decades, creator Maggie Friedman always knew music would be crucial to its success.

“Music so instantly puts you in a time frame. You hear a song from the ’80s and you can just feel it,” Friedman tells Tudum. “So it was one of the key elements of the show from the very beginning. I wanted those big songs!”

Actually, when Friedman began writing the pilot, she also built a playlist of dream songs that she hoped to eventually include in the series. Thankfully, she says, “so many of them have made it into the show.” Among her favorite victories are Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide,” ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” and even multiple versions of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time.” The recognizable needle drops of Firefly Lane “enhance the storytelling so much; they enhance the emotion so much,” Friedman says. “They’re so evocative.”

And it’s all thanks to music supervisor Tiffany Anders, the woman who put together the ’90s-tastic soundtrack of BEEF, among many other memorable, music-filled series. Says Friedman, “She’s incredible. She not only is able to get us these big iconic songs, but she also brings in these undiscovered gems from all the eras. She has impeccable taste and such a wide breadth of knowledge.”

See how Anders’ curation came to fruition with this complete list of every song in Firefly Lane.


Season 1

The first season introduces best friends Kate and Tully in several different time periods: as teenagers in the ’70s living on the titular Firefly Lane (played by Roan Curtis and Ali Skovbye), and in different decades through the mid-2000s (played by Sarah Chalke and Katherine Heigl). As adults, Kate is a devoted mother to teen Marah (Yael Yurman) and going through a divorce from coworker turned husband Johnny (Ben Lawson). Tully is the mega-famous host of talk show The Girlfriend Hour, and they remain the best of friends.
