Girls just wanna dance, and it’s never been more evident than in the weeks since Prime Video’s “ Off Campus ” premiered.

Adapted from Elle Kennedy’s novels of the same name and following a group of friends at the fictional Briar University, Season 1 is about Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli), a young hockey hotshot and Hannah Wells (Ella Bright), a bubbly music major. It’s only fitting that someone whose life revolves around music was accompanied by a lively soundtrack on-screen.

“Hannah in the book has very eclectic taste, and she’s also a music person. That was a big reason why it was important to feel the current vibe,” says Amanda Krieg Thomas, one half of the music supervisor team behind “Off Campus.” “The idea of feeling current was also to make sure she felt credible in a ‘What would a musically knowledgeable cool girl in college be listening to right now?’ way.”

From Elton John to Beaches, the soundtrack captures a range of moods among its various characters, with co-music coordinator Anna Romanoff saying they specifically chose needle drops that enhanced the show’s storytelling.

The soundtrack has gone viral online too, raking in TikToks with Jennifer Lopez and concert invites from The Kid Laroi. It’s been surreal for Romanoff and Krieg Thomas, who say the most they hoped for was maybe one viral moment, let alone several that have been recognized by the artists themselves.
