thread of the best steven universe songs

disclaimer: this isn’t in a specific order! these are just the best songs in steven universe (in my opinion!)

this will also include OST music! (I think that’s the term?) aka music that plays in the background!

if you believe i’ve missed anything, please let me know!

1). we are the crystal gems (extended edition!)

I accidentally watched this before I started watching SU and for some reason, I didn't question why there were two gems beside garnet? LMAO

2). cookie cat

NEVER GETS OLD, WAS THE FIRST OF MANY AMAZING SONGS, I HOPE THAT THEY BRING BACK COOKIE CATS BY THE LAST EPISODE

3). giant woman

OPAL OPAL OPAL :( I MISS HER SO MUCH IT HURTS.

really cute song, really fun, features a goat? what more could you want?

4). strong in the real way

this song makes really emotional tbh. pearl just wants to be a good role model for steven and show him that physical strength isn't always the best thing to have :(

5). decisive path

incredible music from an incredible episode. the music makes this scene so much more powerful, it just proves that music does have an impact on how scenes can turn out.

6). be wherever you are

great song about living in the moment! i always forget lars and sadie make out in this episode lmao

7). on the run

this song is really catchy and gave us a little insight into amethyst's thoughts! also, the backgrounds in this episode are beautiful!

8). comet

greg universe: a lyric king who outsold ALL of your faves xx

9). alone together

steven and connie's song! just like them, it's soft and delicate and really nice!!

10). I am Lapis Lazuli

HER MUSIC IS REALLY GOOD YOU CAN'T CHANGE MY MIND

11). Peridot

remember when we were all scared of her? LMAO

12). Sardonyx

in cry for help, you can barely hear this. i had no idea what song this was when i first heard it and it took me MONTHS to figure out it was hers

i was watching a video of every fusion and thats when i heard it and realized it was her song and ive loved it since

13). stronger than you

I WAS STILL CRYING BC OF RUPPHIRE WHEN THIS SONG CAME ON. 10/10. GARNET IS MADE OF LOVE AND DOESNT HAVE TIME FOR YOUR BULLSHIT!!

14). full disclosure

this song is really deep and powerful. he's thinking about everything he's been through and wondering if he even wants to get connie involved in it because he doesn't want to see her get hurt.

15). the jam song

i love the jam buds so much :( this whole episode was an emotional rollercoaster

16). do it for her

going back and listening to this song makes me sad and im so glad that in reunited they added the line "everything i do, i do it for her! i do it for him!... I do it for me!" because THAT laid ease and gentle mints, is character development

17). something entirely new

can yall believe they let us see ruby and sapphire fall in love on screen? thanks crewniverse, i owe you my life.

18). peace and love on the planet earth

a gentle fun song!! also uhhh give peridot her own song pls

19). & 20). don't cost nothing & empire city

this entire episode owns me

21). mr. greg

i cant believe @Shelby_Rabara choreographed the tap dancing omg

22). it's over isn't it

i honestly feel bad for pearl now that we've seen flashbacks of her and pink/rose. like rose did lead her on lmao she was by rose's side through EVERYTHING and then rose picked some dude she saw singing over her.

23). both of you

if you claim that you don't cry during this song then you're lying.

24). here comes a thought

the first time that i heard this song, my depression was rlly bad. i used to (and still do if i need to) put this song on when i was having a really bad night with my depression and it would make me feel a lot better.

25). whats the use of feeling (blue)?

this song was wild when it first came out because it was the first time we really got to see the diamonds show their emotions

26). love like you

i know rebecca says it doesnt really have a meaning and its open for interpretation but i feel like love like you is from the POV of pink/rose and its her talking about greg

27). working dead

i always listen to this on my way to work lmao

28). ghost

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH CANT YOU SEE THAT I EXIST AND I DONT NEED AN EXORCIST TO LEEEEEEEEEEET MEEEEEEEEEEEE OUUUUUUUUT

29). that distant shore

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SU SONGS OUT THERE IDC LAPIS HAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND THIS SONG JUST PROVES IT

30). for just one day lets only think about (love)

SU SPOILERS

this is one of steven universe's best songs too idc

31). we deserve to shine

idk if this counts as a steven universe song but its really cute and the song has a great message so guess what im counting it

thats all for now! let me know if i missed anything!
