Every Song & When They Play In The Rosemary’s Baby Prequel Movie

Warning! This post contains spoilers for Apartment 7A.

Apart from unfolding a gripping prequel story to Rosemary’s Baby, Apartment 7A also features compelling songs as background scores that add even more heft to its drama. Releasing over five decades after Rosemary’s Baby‘s 1968 premiere, Apartment 7A sets out to resolve some underlying mysteries and questions the original movie left behind. Given how Rosemary’s Baby is still considered one of the most influential horror movies of all time, Apartment 7A carries the burden of living up to its predecessor while etching its own identity in the horror genre.

Although Apartment 7A fails to step out of its predecessor’s shadow, it does a satisfying job of expanding the parent film’s lore. It may not be as disturbing and scary as the 1968 movie, but it still manages to pack enough chills, thrills, and intriguing creative choices that make it memorable. During many pivotal moments, Apartment 7A also almost presents itself as a musical, featuring upbeat background scores and dance sequences. These random bursts of color in the film’s otherwise grim narrative make one curious about which song plays when in its storyline.

When Every Song On The Apartment 7A Soundtrack Plays In The Movie

From Classical Music To A Cover By Julia Garner, Apartment 7A Features A Diverse Set Of Tracks

“Too Darn Hot” by Cast: This track plays in the opening moments of the movie, where Terry rehearses for an upcoming performance with her team. Little does she realize that her world will soon turn upside down.

“Trumpet” by Paul Mottram: A street artist plays this song on his trumpet as Terry walks out in the street, and the movie’s title appears on the screen.

“Für Elise” by Ludwig van Beethoven: Beethoven’s classic track can be heard in Apartment 7A when Terry visits Alan’s home and opens up to him about how she has been struggling to find new opportunities since her injury.

“Heart” by Peggy Lee: Terry does not tread carefully as Alan drugs her to initiate the coven’s satanic ritual. While she attempts to get herself out of the room, Peggy Lee’s “Heart” loudly plays in the background.

“Jingle Bells” by APM: This song plays around the 40-minute mark in Apartment 7A when Terry practices her steps with her new dance team. The track continues to play as Terry attends a costume party with her friend, Annie, at the Castevets’ place.

“If My Friends Could See Me Now” by Cast: After attending the party, Terry thanks Annie for supporting her when no one else did, and the two celebrate while singing this tune. To show her how much she appreciates her support, Terry also gives Annie a gift.

“Be My Baby” by The Ronettes: This song plays twice in the Rosemary’s Baby prequel movie. The first time is when Terry and Annie recall their audition for The Fiddler on the Roof. It plays again towards Apartment 7A‘s ending moments when Terry gives a final dance performance in the Castevets’ home before leaping off a window and dying.

“Angle of the Morning” by Merrilee Rush: While Terry washes her clothes in Apartment 7A around the 50-minute mark, this song plays from a speaker in the central building’s basement.

“Lullaby, Part 2” by Julia Garner: Just like Mia Farrow hummed the final Lullaby song from Rosemary’s Baby‘s ending scene, Julia Garner sang this one for Apartment 7A‘s closing moment.
