Music plays a surprisingly central role in Wuthering Heights, not just as background but as an active emotional current throughout Emerald Fennell’s modern adaptation.
Rather than relying solely on a traditional score, the film arrives with a full companion album created by Charli XCX, blending moody atmospheres and contemporary songwriting with the gothic romance at the story’s core.
Released the same day as the movie’s theatrical debut, the soundtrack spans twelve original songs that echo the film’s themes of obsession, longing and turmoil. It ranges from haunting collaborations with veteran musicians to synth-infused tracks that contrast with the Yorkshire moors.
Wuthering Heights soundtrack: All the songs
Beyond its story and visuals, the new Wuthering Heights adaptation arrives with a distinct musical identity crafted by British artist Charli XCX, whose companion album was released alongside the movie on Feb. 13, 2026.
This twelve-track collection was conceived as an immersive soundtrack that mirrors the film’s gothic tension and emotional turbulence, blending pop sensibilities with dramatic atmospheric textures:
- House (featuring John Cale) by Charli xcx
- Wall of Sound by Charli xcx
- Open Up by Charli xcx
- Dark Eyed Sailor by Olivia Chaney
- Chains of Love by Charli xcx
- The Sussex Carol by St. Peter’s Choir (Oxford)
- Funny Mouth by Charli xcx
- Always Everywhere by Charli xcx
- Dying For You by Charli xcx
- Altars by Charli xcx
The project began when director Emerald Fennell approached Charli with the screenplay, inspiring her and collaborators to write music that reflects the story’s raw intensity.
Featuring production from frequent partners and collaborators, the album serves both as an in-film score and as a standalone companion piece that extends the world of Wuthering Heights beyond the screen.
