A Ballad That Cuts Deep—Chris Stapleton’s Latest Track for Netflix’s Nobody Wants This Is Pure Emotion. ML
Chris Stapleton Joins Kacey Musgraves and Ella Langley on Nobody Wants This Season 2 Soundtrack with “Heart Letting Go”
Netflix’s Nobody Wants This just dropped its second-season soundtrack, and it’s packed with musical firepower — including a new song from Chris Stapleton that fans are already calling one of his most moving recordings yet.
The 19-track collection blends genres, but country takes a spotlight thanks to Stapleton, Kacey Musgraves, and Ella Langley, each contributing original songs co-written with Nashville collaborators.
“Heart Letting Go”: Classic Stapleton Emotion
Stapleton’s “Heart Letting Go,” written with Alan Anderson, captures the quiet devastation of realizing a love story has reached its end. His wife, Morgane Stapleton, adds her unmistakable harmonies, giving the ballad a haunting depth.
Though written for the show, the song feels like something that could easily appear on a Stapleton record — intimate, soulful, and full of the rugged emotional honesty fans expect.
From Screen to Soundtrack
The series, created by Erin Foster and inspired by her real-life relationship with Simon Tikhman, became a breakout hit for Netflix, earning three Emmy nominations for its first season. The new soundtrack was curated by Tikhman himself, who said the goal was to reflect the same “honesty, sharpness, and heart” that defines Foster’s writing.
Tikhman, who also serves as co-founder and CEO of The Core Entertainment, worked alongside Interscope Records to bring together a cross-genre lineup that mirrors the show’s emotional tone.
Country Stars, Authentic Voices
Stapleton, Musgraves, and Langley each co-wrote their contributions, ensuring the songs feel authentic to their personal artistry. “It’s clear the artists had creative freedom,” Tikhman said, emphasizing that the soundtrack needed to “stand on its own.”
For fans, that means Nobody Wants This isn’t just binge-worthy TV — it’s a full-blown music event, anchored by Stapleton’s unforgettable “Heart Letting Go.”
