So, rather than just throw the playlist up here, I&#8217;ll throw it up here and talk about some of the songs and how they relate, so it&#8217;s not a repeat of every other time I&#8217;ve done this topic.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll throw some tidbits about\u00a0<em>The Ex<\/em>\u00a0in here, too, so spoiler alert, if you don&#8217;t like that sort of thing, fair warning.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So, here we go. This is what what I&#8217;m writing\u00a0<em>The Ex<\/em> to:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.spotify.com\/?uri=spotify:user:123685084:playlist:1KT0sdfXJogJfrEZN4MIJi\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Let me talk at you about a few of the songs a minute.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>&#8220;Navy,&#8221; Kilo Kush<\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0I needed something super sexy to write a particular scene with Sophie, and this did it, in a big way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Still Into You,&#8221; Paramore\u00a0<\/strong>When I announced the title of this book, everybody went nuts, thinking Sophie and Neil were going to break up. While Sophie is definitely having some cold feet about marriage, \u00a0they&#8217;re still very much together. It&#8217;s a challenge to write about a relationship two years in and keep it fresh and sexy and interesting, which is why I think this song describes them perfectly. They&#8217;re more in love with every page. And I&#8217;m still into them, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;All of Me,&#8221; John Legend\u00a0<\/strong>The non-beat-added version. This becomes a very special song for Sophie and Neil. The first time I heard it, I thought of them, and I needed a song to mention in a scene, and BAM, there it was. Totally perfect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Somebody Loves You,&#8221; Betty Who<\/strong>\u00a0This one is pretty self-explanatory, but the line &#8220;somebody misses you when you&#8217;re away&#8221; was made this song ping in my mind, because as Sophie&#8217;s magazine takes off, she&#8217;s got less time to spend with Neil. He loves her and supports her, but he still misses her when she works late or stays in the city.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Flaws,&#8221; Bastille<\/strong> Both Neil and Sophie will be working through some major personal stuff during this book, but they go through it together. I think when you get with the right person, someone who can be there for you no matter what, you feel safe enough to start working on yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Wanna know what the other Wednesday bloggers are listening to?
