Creators of yellowjackets96 had to 'fight pretty hard' to get Enya's 2000 hit 'Only Time' in the finale.

“It’s one that bears mentioning,” Lyle tells ET, referring to the Irish singer’s 2000 hit song, which was heard as the adult women reunited at their high school’s anniversary and were forced to watch a tribute to living and dead members of soccer team that was on that plane decades prior. The scene also cut to past timeline, in 1996, as the women reckoned with their evolving group dynamic following the drug-fueled Doomcoming celebration.

“We actually had to fight pretty hard to get that song,” Lyle says. “Bart wrote a pretty glorious letter to Enya herself, and ultimately, she gave us permission. It's so incredibly perfect in that moment that we just felt like we had to fight for it.” The song is not the only one from the finale that jumps out for Lyle. Another notable music cue was Offspring’s “,” which is heard as the living Yellowjackets arrive at their high school anniversary party.

“We tried maybe 15 different songs for that particular sequence,” Lyle shares. “We had actually shot it on the day with playback to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.” While one of her favorites, they decided that “Phenomena” was too “straightforwardly cool” in that moment. “There was something just very funny to us about using that Offspring song there.”

She adds, “So, using the music in a slightly more comedic way is also something that we really enjoyed.”
