It has been one of Apple’s main attractions since Ted Lasso first began in 2020.

It’s hardly surprising: from an infectiously optimistic protagonist, an underdog association football team you can’t help but root for and a stellar cast, the show gives fans a lot to love.

Then, there’s all the music. From the show’s theme song, which comes courtesy of Marcus Mumford, lead singer for British folk band Mumford and Sons, to the many songs that mirror the emotions of the characters, music is an integral part of the show’s make-up.

As well as writing the show’s theme song, Mumford has been scoring the show’s musical interludes since season one.

Talking to Variety about landing the gig, the singer previously said: “The idea of doing something without lyrics was exciting to me because of the freedom that it brings, where you can express yourself emotionally through just music and not have to worry about lyrics.”

He continued: “The process of just writing melody was a really healthy one for me as a musician. It reminded me of my primary job, which is really music-based rather than lyric-based.”

Talking about how he tried to translate the culture shock American Lasso gets thanks to his British football surroundings, Mumford added. “It needed to have this sound that was somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic that represented both the American and British influences of the show. Somewhere between The Kinks and Creedence Clearwater Revival.”

So, without further ado, here is the complete soundtrack listing for Ted Lasso so far.
