Songs about falling into a toxic relationship?

Posted: 10/14/21 at 6:15pm

Hello hello

I made a post on here a little while ago asking for help finding a song to add to my D&D characters fake jukebox musical playlist, and ended up finding the perfect one, so here I am again!

For this one, the main character is about 15 years old, and has basically been looking for someone who will know him and love him for his whole life. He's just met a girl who's a couple years older, like 16 - 17, thinks she's incredibly cool, and immediately develops a huge crush on her. They enter a relationship, which will end up later being extremely toxic, but for the moment, to him it feels absolutely perfect and almost too good to be true.The girl is extremely manipulative, but he's totally blind to all of the red flags at first.

Does anyone know any songs that would fit?

In “9 to 5” they have Get Out and Stay Out - which is about getting out of a toxic relationship… maybe they have one somewhere about getting into one, too.

I think a lot of All You Wanna Do from Six would work for this - the first two verses especially, Howard is completely blind to the manipulation of the men she's with and it's only toward the end that she starts to see the pattern.

“You Love Who You Love” - Bonnie & Clyde

A lovely duet by two women who are in love with their men, the fact they are career felons be damned!

Here's the thing: you can't sing about falling into a toxic relationship without knowing you are in a toxic relationship. It has to be retrospective.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Interesting, though perhaps expected, that most of the examples people are coming up with are women falling into toxic relationships.

"What's the Use of Wondrin'" from Carousel would work if you don't care about the genders being reversed from your scenario, OP.

"As Long as He Needs Me" from Oliver!, or the gender flipped "As Long as She Needs Me" (as popularized by Sammy Davis Jr.)

Maybe you could use a standard love song, which could be reinterpreted as containing foreshadowing that a new relationship is not going to be great? For example:

'Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful' (Cinderella) - what if she really is just the sweet invention of a lover's dream.

'I've Got Beginner's Luck' (An American In Paris) - maybe the first time that you're in love, you aren't the best judge of character of your beloved.

From Waitress, “When He Sees Me” is about avoiding potentially bad relationships. And “Never Ever Getting Rid of Me” is basically a song from a stalker’s point of view; tho made cute and funny, not terrifying. :-O
