⚠️ The playlist description contains some spoilers. If you have not finished the first three books of this series, proceed with caution.
If we’re just meeting through this blog post, hi! Something important to know about me is that besides my husband + kids, the two other major loves of my life are music and reading. I’m obsessed with both and find ways to try to tie them together whenever possible.
So, if you enjoy the merging of these two things as well, you’re in the right place! 😉
In the spring of 2024 when I started reading Throne of Glass, I found myself thinking of anthems for each character. In addition, I also thought of songs that would perfectly fit certain plot points. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen my ‘Character Anthem’ reels. They’re mostly from romance books or fantasy series, but this playlist is solely focused on Fourth Wing!
Last year I made a ‘Throne of Glass‘ playlist which was such a blast so I figured this one would be fun, too! Below you’ll find a list of each song and what character/scene they correlate with. Sometimes they’re based on vibes, other times lyrics, sometimes both!
| VIOLET ‘Electric Feel’ by MGMT There are so many good ones for her, but just picture this playing as she’s starting to discover + control her power. |
| DAIN ‘Over My Head (Cable Car)’ by The Fray Poor Dain realizing he/his dad are the bad guys. |
| RHIANNON + VIOLET ‘Best Friend’ by Doja Cat + Saweetie We love some badass, loyal ’til the end besties. |
| XADEN (anytime he gets on/off his dragon or fights) ‘X Gon’ Give It To You’ by DMX I encourage you to picture the best fan art you’ve seen of Xaden and put this song to it, LOL! |
| XADEN ‘Lose Control’ by Teddy Swims This is for sure how he feels about Violet, especially in the 3rd book. |
| RIDOC ‘Ice Ice Baby’ by Vanilla Ice This truly needs no explanation. |
| TAIRN ‘Thunderstruck’ by AC/DC Listen to this and tell me you don’t see him flying arrogantly into any + every scene with this as his theme song! |
| TAIRN + ANDARNA ‘Teenagers’ by My Chemical Romance When Andarna is being moody. |
| MIRA ‘Salute’ by Little Mix I’d follow Mira anywhere. |
| IMOGEN ‘Confident’ by Demi Lovato This blasting as she’s taking everyone down on the mat… perfection! |
| LIAM ‘Stand By Me’ by Ben E King I picture this playing when he comes to her in Iron Flame when she’s being tortured. |
| JACK BARLOWE Stronger’ by Kanye West “That that that that don’t kill me, can only make me stronger” …GTFO Jack. |
| BRENNAN ‘Can’t Hold Us’ by Macklemore Nothing can hold him down, LOL! |
| VENIN ‘Power’ by Kanye West |
| the throne scene ‘Take Me To Church’ by Hozier Just listen to these lyrics. |
| CAT ‘Unpretty’ by TLC I just feel like she has a transformation where she wants people to see her for not just her looks. |
| when everyone leaves for Tyrrendor/Aretia ‘Uprising’ by Muse |
| ANDARNA ‘Reflection’ from Mulan She’s just trying to figure out who she is and fight for her family/country! |
| BROCCOLI ‘Good Time’ by Owl City feat. Carly Rae Jepsen He’s just along for the ride, doesn’t care what’s going on! |
I’d love to hear what you think of this playlist! Do you have any ideas for other series I should do? (Don’t worry, ACOTAR is already in the works 😉) If you enjoyed this playlist, make sure to check out my reels on Instagram! There are a lot of fantasy + romance character anthems that are pretty spot on if I do say so myself 🤣
