The ’Burbs Soundtrack: Every Song in the Peacock Series (2026)
Every Song You Hear in Peacock’s The ’Burbs (Season 1)
Last updated: February 8, 2026
Peacock’s The ’Burbs (all eight episodes released February 8, 2026) leans hard into suburban paranoia, and the music is part of the fun: bright “everything’s fine” throwbacks, modern alt/R&B mood-setters, and punchy hip-hop cues that undercut the creepiness.
Confirmed needle-drop songs (with artists)
As of February 8, 2026, only a handful of specific licensed songs have been publicly named in major press coverage. This section lists the tracks that have been explicitly called out.
| Song | Artist | Why it’s getting searched |
|---|---|---|
| Lovely Day | Bill Withers | Classic “sunny” needle-drop energy that contrasts with suburban dread. |
| Dark Red | Steve Lacy | Modern, moody alt/R&B cue that fits suspicion and spiraling. |
| Anxiety | Doechii | A title that matches the show’s nervous, comedic tension beat-for-beat. |
| I’m Not a Player | Big Pun | A punchy, instantly recognizable rap moment that pops in TV scenes. |
