HBO's Euphoria's success cannot only be attributed to the narrative's complexity and acting excellence. The fourth wall transcending music and scoring also takes a bite on what makes it the Most-Watched TV Series in HBO next to "Game of Thrones."

With producer Labrinth taking the helm as the show's composer, he has produced an original score that gave birth to "All For Us," a Primetime Emmy Award Winning Original Music and Lyrics for the hit-HBO show.

Peaking at Billboard's Global 200 at No. 78 and UK Singles Chart at No. 57, "All For Us" amassed more than 200 million streams in Spotify as of writing.

Aside from "All For Us," Labrinth recently released another masterpiece for Euphoria's second season, "I'm Tired; a sappy ballad that features lead star Zendaya Coleman's vocals and Labrinth signature sound.

The track was much-anticipated by fans since its teaser in the show's 4th episode of the second season; even rapper Kid Cudi wanted to be featured in the track.

Aside from "I'm Tired" and "All For Us," another song from the HBO Original show "Euphoria" has fans waiting.

Elliot's song

Dominic Fike, one of Euphoria's breakout stars, plays the titular Elliot in the show's second season.

Fike was also named as NME's Essential New Artists in 2020. He pursues his music career, which eventually landed him on Justin Bieber's Grammy-nominated album "Justice."

"Elliot's Song" was Fike's song on the season 2 finale of "Euphoria" last week, which had fans wanting for the full version of it and, at the same time, probably less than what he performed.

Fike took to Instagram to announce that a "shorter" yet fuller version of the song would be released soon.

His joke became fans' center of meme attention as many realized how the 4-minute cut of Fike's performance ate up the season finale.

Laughing at the memes, Fike rode the meme train and posted an Instagram story to finally address the barrage of memes: "The internet remains undefeated. I am humbled."

Show composer Labrinth opened up about how "Elliot's Song" was created and how it was a collaborative process between the showrunners, him, Dominic, and Zendaya.

"Dominic came in and jumped on the score pieces we were working on and played some guitar, because he's a great guitarist. The cast is not just acting, they're part of the music now," Labrinth explained.
