The Peanut Butter Falcon is climbing up the charts on Netflix — here are the tunes you’ll want to jam out to from its soundtrack.

The 2019 movie starring Dakota Johnson is a brand-new addition to Netflix, and its immediate popularity possibly makes it one of the best movies to watch this month.

Starring Dakota Johnson and Shia LaBeouf, the movie follows a man with Down Syndrome who runs away from a residential nursing home to pursue his dream of becoming a wrestler. He then meets with an outlaw who becomes his friend and coach.

While Netflix subscribers flock to watch it, we’ve got you covered for the soundtrack, artists, and songs included in the movie.

In addition to the main score, Running For So Long (House A Home) was made exclusively for the movie — including its music video. Parker Ainsworth told Playlist “When my good friend Tyler told me about ‘The Peanut Butter Falcon,’ and played me the song his friend Parker co-wrote for the film, ‘Running For So Long (House a Home)’, I was very excited and couldn’t wait to start recording.

“I suggested to bring Paris Jackson on board for some accompaniment — she has been a family friend for many years and she had just recently done some backing vocals on a record of my own. Everyone involved thought that she was perfect for the song and her vocals gave it a very special note, just like I feel the movie is.”

Critics at Americana UK described the soundtrack as: “This is a good soundtrack album — not one of the greats but certainly good and includes enough interesting material to catch the attention of Americana fans; But, at heart, it is a soundtrack album and that’s likely to limit its appeal to a wider audience.”
