It’s been said that listening to a series can be just as good as watching one. A good soundtrack can carry scenes to different heights and some of our favorite BL series are no strangers to some impressive songs that are memorable and emotional.
In making this list, we generally favored which songs trended or were well-loved among a lot of BL fans. If your favorite song did not make it to this ranking, don’t come for us!
Without further ado, here is BLTai’s list of the most iconic BL soundtracks!
- “Romantic Devil” by Coldin’ from ‘Semantic Error’
Starting off strong, we have “Romantic Devil” from arguably THE BL series of 2022, ‘Semantic Error.’ This song is so good that it surpassed 100k streams on Spotify less than a month after its release. Not only that but it was also Coldin’s most popular song, further demonstrating ‘Semantic Error’s popularity. Trust us, this banger will get stuck in your head!
- “Hook” by Gemini Norawit from ‘My School President’
‘My School President’ was bound to make it to this list with it being a series about music and bands. It was only a question of which song would be picked and we ultimately decided that “Hook” by Gemini Norawit deserves this. It’s bright. It’s poppy. Its lyrics incorporate titles of famous Thai love songs and it reminds you of the budding of a young love in the most saccharine sweet way. Plus, a TikTok challenge was born from this song! That’s legendary status, if you ask us.

- “Kilometer Zero” by Ian Pangilinan from ‘Gaya sa Pelikula’
We don’t think that it can be argued that ‘Gaya Sa Pelikula’ has some of the best soundtracks in any BL series across the globe and ‘Kilometer Zero’ is just that one song that tugs at your heartstrings and leaves you bawling. You know what’s even more impressive about this is that it’s performed by one of its lead actors, Ian Pangilinan. Talk about talented.
But it’s not just the vocals that sold it for us. It’s also the lyrics that talks about goodbyes and getting lost but ultimately finding someone as your resting place, your point of origin, your home. God, we are getting chills just talking about how beautiful and magnificent this song is. God-tier. Chef’s kiss.
