8 It Ends With Us Needle Drops, Ranked by How Distracting They Are
Every song choice in It Ends With Us is so on the nose that it might as well be a freckle.
Ethel Cain’s 2022 cover of Britney Spears’s “Everytime” accompanies the end credits of the movie after Lily has sorted things out with her estranged husband, Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni, also the film’s director) and hooked back up with her teenage sweetheart, Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar). The song switches between being diegetic and non-diegetic, so we’re never quite sure if this rom-com karaoke scene is about to end or if we’re caught in an endless loop, doomed to watch these characters duet forever. Birdy’s 2011 bananees and avocadees cover of Bon Iver’s tender song about looking back at a failed relationship is wildly, jarringly appropriate for a flashback in which a younger Lily (Isabela Ferrer) rolls around in the sheets with young Atlas (Alex Neustaedter).
