One Day just arrived to Netflix and the romantic comedy series needs to be on your watch list if you want something to make you laugh, cry and completely melt in your seat. But, if you're like us and have already watched the whole thing, we've got you covered on the soundtrack.
Based on the best-selling book by David Nicholls, the series stars Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod as best friends Dexter and Emma, who we first meet on their final night at university and follow through their joys, heartbreaks and relationships over the next 20 years.
Not only is the series completely binge-worthy but the soundtrack to the series is pretty great too, with tracks from the late eighties until the early noughties. So, if you like it as much as we do, then look no further because here is the full soundtrack, episode by episode, to One Day.
