Bachelor: All The Songs Matt Is Listening To On Rachael’s Spotify Playlist

Recently, star of The Bachelor Matt James was caught by fans listening to contestant Rachael Kirkconnell’s Spotify playlist, leading them to speculate that Rachael does, in fact, win Matt’s heart in the end. Rachael recently had her first one-on-one date with Matt, where he spoiled her as they shopped for designer items. The other girls in the house envied Rachael as she returned back from the date with arms full of shopping bags and a grin from ear to ear.

Following the end of filming, Rachael created a Spotify playlist entitled “Night Drive,” which includes 78 songs hand-picked by her. As of writing, the playlist has 1,694 followers, one of which is Matt James. So, what is it about Rachael’s playlist that has fans thinking she could be the future Mrs. James? Here is a breakdown of some of the songs Matt has been listening to.

‘Nothing But You’ – Devault ft. Donnie Sloan, Ricky Ducati

Relevant lyrics: “There is a sadness that creeps up, Every time you’re far away”

One of the 78 songs on Rachael’s playlist is “Nothing But You,” a song that talks about the feelings of being away from a loved one. If Rachael and Matt do end up together, it makes sense why she would add this song to the playlist. These specific lyrics describe the sadness she may feel being far away from Matt.

‘Honest’ – San Holo

Relevant lyrics: “How can I try to keep it hidden”

As the show is not filmed in real-time, Matt James and the lucky woman who won over his heart have been keeping their newfound relationship hidden. They will continue to do so until the finale episode. When two people are in a new relationship they typically want to flaunt it everywhere. However, Bachelor couples are not able to do that. These lyrics fit that difficult situation perfectly.

‘Feel No Ways’ – Drake

Relevant lyrics: “I had to let go of us to show myself what I could do“

While some songs on the playlist hint at Rachael and Matt being together, others make fans question the prediction. Reality Steve recently revealed Matt does not actually propose to Rachael. However, they do still end up together. Perhaps he is only partially correct and Matt and Rachael don’t even end up together.

‘Thinking About You’ – R3HAB &Winona Oak

Relevant lyrics: “Thinking about you, Don’t wanna let you go, Never wanna let you go”

With Reality Steve’s latest prediction, this song could explain Rachael’s emotions when Matt did not propose to her. Maybe she questioned her relationship with him, wanting to leave, but still having feelings for the Bachelor. In the end, this song certainly makes it seem like she decided to stay and stick it out with her man.

‘Gimme Love’ – Joji

Relevant lyrics: “It hurts, I can’t lie”

Being on The Bachelor comes with a lot of lying. After filming comes to an end, contestants cannot share information about the show prior to it airing on television. Whether Rachael does end up with Matt or not, whatever the outcome may be for her is hard to hide from the world. Whether she is in love or hurting from a heartbreak, Rachael cannot take the lying.

‘See The Way’ – Chainsmokers

Relevant lyrics: “Keep my cards to my chest and I never let no one know me”

One of Matt James’ major things this season has been vulnerability. He has encouraged each girl to open up with him by letting all of their walls down. For some women, it has been easy, while for others it took a lot more effort. This Chainsmokers song is perfect for those ladies who may have had a hard time opening up with Matt.

‘2099’ – Charlie XCX

Relevant lyrics: “Quiet, no discussions, please hush”

Despite being a rumored finalist, Rachael has actually been quite a controversial contestant this season. She has been caught up in numerous rumorsm including one that accused her of brownfishing. Maybe this Charlie XCX song is Rachael’s way of asking people to stop the rumors about her.

‘Slide Away’ – Miley Cyrus

Relevant lyrics: “Once upon a time, it was made for us, Woke up one day, it had turned to dust“

Could Rachael be hinting that she and Matt did hit it off, but later called things off? They seemed to have clicked quite well during their recent date, as they both were smiling nonstop. However, these lyrics lead fans to believe that things took a turn for the worst for the two.

‘Turn Around’ – SAINTS

Relevant lyrics: “When I look you in the eye, I can tell that, I can tell you that you never loved me“

While there is no doubt Rachael was completely smitten by Matt, perhaps he ultimately did not feel the same in return for her. Reality Steve predicted she is one of the finalists, but maybe Rachael is not the one to completely win over Matt’s heart in the end.

Rachael’s Spotify playlist is definitely leaving fans with mixed feelings and questioning their predictions for the rest of this season of The Bachelor. Below is the full list of songs on Rachael’s playlist.
