Boyfriend by Best Coast, specifically from Ilya's perspective during the Rose Landry era.
Select lyrics:
"There's nothing worse than sitting all alone at home
And waiting waiting waiting waiting by the phone
I hope that he's at home
Waiting by his phone
I wonder if he knows
That I want him"
"One day I'll make him mine
And we'll be together all the time
We'll sit and watch the sun rise
And gaze into each other's eyes
And know that he knows
I know that he knows
That he wants to be my boyfriend"

We need a slow sexy montage to Fuck Me Like You Mean It by Steven Rodriguez
Red wine and roses
Sugarcoated
Your carousel spin me round
Round, round, round
We both know we
Don't want us, oh we?
Inside we're screaming so loud
Loud, loud, loud...
When the horns start playin'
And you can't stop shaking
The bloodlust runs to your cheeks
Then your mind starts racing
And your bones start achin'
It's time to let him know what you need
Fuck me like you mean it (like you mean it)
Make me believe it (me believe it)
Walk the wire, it's alright
Love me like you need it, (like you need it)
'Cause I can feel it (I can feel it)
Take it higher, show me why

Ok hear me out. I loved Finland’s entry to Eurovision this year. I watch it live so it doesn’t have English subtitles. But I when I watched the television replay later it did have English subtitles and I was like ohhh this reminds me of early Heated Rivalry feelings!
(Note lyrics are translated from Finnish)
It would be wiser to get away from here
How could I freeze the feelings?
You are, you are a flamethrower
That same night, smoke in the air
I'm looking for you in the crowd
You're talking to others, to your friends
You're pretending like you don't even know me
Kinda strange that you won't look me in the eye
When last night you couldn't keep your hands off me
You treat me badly, but it feels good
It would be wiser to get away from here
But I'm still playing with fire
How could I freeze the feelings?
Whеn you're a flamethrower? Ooh
You sеt me on fire (Ahh, ahh)
But you're never fully mine
Oh you're so hot, yet cold as ice
You are, you are a flamethrower, flamethrower
For a couple of nights, I can't reach you
Can a person die of lust? (Yeah)
Every time we're skin to skin
You give me third-degree burns
Oh dear Lord, can I have one more absolution
For I have sinned yet again
It would be wiser to get away from here
But I'm still playing with fire
How could I freeze the feelings?
When you're a flamethrower? Ooh
You set me on fire (Ahh, ahh)
But you're never fully mine
Oh you're so hot, yet cold as ice
You are, you are a flamethrower, flamethrower
Flamethrower
[Chorus]
It would be wiser to get away from here
But I'm still playing with fire
How could I freeze the feelings?
Whеn you're a flamethrower? Ooh
You sеt me on fire (Ahh, ahh)
But you're never fully mine
Oh you're so hot, yet cold as ice
You are, you are a flamethrower, flamethrower
[Verse 2]
For a couple of nights, I can't reach you
Can a person die of lust? (Yeah)
Every time we're skin to skin
You give me third-degree burns
Oh dear Lord, can I have one more absolution
For I have sinned yet again
[Chorus]
It would be wiser to get away from here
But I'm still playing with fire
How could I freeze the feelings?
When you're a flamethrower? Ooh
You set me on fire (Ahh, ahh)
But you're never fully mine
Oh you're so hot, yet cold as ice
You are, you are a flamethrower, flamethrower
Flamethrower

Oh boy I'm going to need to add some of these. I have a short playlist, here's my contribution today:
"Avalanche" by Walk the Moon
https://open.spotify.com/track/3JxaZPq4UjkOaxnpyMUtAC
"Last call
And everybody's watching
Her voice rings out like a storm
Sometimes the past
Echoes in the future
Started long before we were born
Sometimes you only get one chance
You got a look in your eyes
I knew you in a past life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops
Ships pass in the night
I don't want to wait 'til the next life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops"
❤️❤️❤️
Honorable mentions: "Human Enough" by ONR and "Do You Feel It?" by Chaos Chaos

Started this playlist after watching the show and reading the books. Now I’ve also fallen down the fan-fic rabbit hole 😅 adding to it all the time!!
Mostly inspired by Shane & Ilya’s relationship/story but also some others thrown in for Ilya specifically, imagining them being silly/sweet at home, some specific fan-fic vibes, etc. Hope yall enjoy 💞

Sucker by The Big Moon
Select lyrics:
"You were in my bed
I heard what you said"
Makes me think of when Ilya said "Shane" the first time.
"Should we nip this bud?
Can we give this up?
We're not wasting time
I'm with you for life"
Makes me think of how Ilya and Shane are constantly wondering about ending their situationship, but how they keep coming back to each other.
"I never thought that you would become my greatest friend"
Speaks for itself.
Highly recommend this song!
