About This Soundtrack
The Honey Don't! (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the official album for Ethan Coen's 2025 dark comedy. Released on August 22, 2025, under the Shadow of the City record label, the 14-track release matches the strange, retro atmosphere of the movie. It features a mix of moody instrumental tracks, older cover songs, and original music written specifically for the film's characters.
The album brings together two massive names in music: classic film composer Carter Burwell and pop producer Jack Antonoff. Burwell handled the instrumental side of things, writing tense tracks like "Rough Love" and "Those Click-Clacking Heels". Antonoff took charge of the vocal tracks, applying his usual modern production style to the movie's weird, vintage world.
Beyond the official album tracks, the film relies heavily on a wide selection of additional songs that play during key scenes, radio moments, and transitions. These extra background tracks are a huge draw for viewers, as they include obscure rockabilly hits, classic 1970s pop tunes, and indie gems that aren't part of the main score. While these additional songs do not appear on the commercial soundtrack release, they are crucial to the movie's unique musical identity and give fans plenty of music to hunt down after the credits roll.

Did you know?
- Working with Family: This soundtrack is the first time producer Jack Antonoff made music for a movie starring his wife, Margaret Qualley. The two got married in August 2023.
- Real Singing: Margaret Qualley did not use a voice double for the musical scenes. She sang every line herself for the tracks credited to her fictional pop-star character, Lace Manhattan.
- Bakersfield Was Mostly Fake: Even though the movie is set in Bakersfield, California, the team barely shot anything there. Director Ethan Coen and co-writer Tricia Cooke actually went to Bakersfield with a camera months after main filming ended just to take photos and quick videos of local landmarks for the opening credits.
- The Time Period Trick: The movie uses old cars, vintage clothes, and classic music to trick you into thinking it takes place in the 1970s. The illusion breaks completely when a character suddenly mentions COVID-19 out of nowhere.

About the Movie
Honey Don't! is a 2025 comedy-thriller directed by Ethan Coen. It serves as the second film in his self-described "lesbian B-movie trilogy," following his 2024 solo directorial debut, Drive-Away Dolls. The story takes place in Bakersfield, California, and follows Honey O'Donahue (Margaret Qualley), a private investigator who runs a small, struggling detective agency.
Honey gets pulled into a massive problem when she starts looking into a series of sudden deaths and missing people around the city. Every clue she uncovers leads her straight to a strange local church led by an unstable, over-the-top preacher played by Chris Evans. To solve the mystery, Honey has to team up with a local police officer (Aubrey Plaza) and another private eye (Charlie Day). Together, they dig into a bizarre criminal underground to figure out exactly what the church is hiding.
