Bakugou’s Playlist about you
CW: toxicity, sexual themes, swearing, self-loathing, Romantic themes, sensual themes
His thoughts behind most of the songs:
Realistically, I feel like Bakugou is the type of person to “make” a playlist about you, but it's just songs he really likes.
This song is good = reminds me of (y/n)
Nonetheless, these are some songs I think would symbolize his inner monologue.
I researched these songs, and the vibe he releases is rock and ballads. I tried avoiding a lot of songs that were a bit too pop and went for more of a “rock ballad” sound. I also feel like he'd add softer rock and rap since you're his soft spot (teehee)
The undertones of some of the songs are toxic but I think it adds to his mindset and a lot of his in-show relationships (His journey of self-loathing himself and thinking less of himself/thinking someone so good is above him)

Tear You Apart - She Wants Revenge
[ “They took a step back, thought about it, what should they do”
“‘Cause there's always repercussions when you're dating in school”
“But their lips met, and reservations started to pass”
“Whether this was just an evening or a thing that would last” ]
He’s passionate and extremely intense. If you like a guy who fits that description, then all you gotta do is make your move. This song is his initial crush song. These emotions interfere with his personal and work life if he is not alert. He cares about his future and just hopes that you're a part of it.

Romantic Dreams - Deftones
[ “So heartless we march into the fumes”
“In time, in sync”
“Tonight the stage is yours” ]
He wants to show you off. You'd be a right-hand man, a partner for life. Bakugou understands the path he's going down is gonna have a ton of attention and hardship. He wants a partner that can handle that and thinks you are fully capable. He thinks you're amazing and powerful, “such a power couple we’ll be.” is all he ever thinks about.

Baby Blue Movie - Ciggarettes After Sex
[ “Don't you know the love that you want is all the love that you needed?”
“Gave me all you had”
“Gave me all the love that you want, all the love that you needed” ]
You are an extremely compassionate person, you tend to think about others a lot more than yourself. A little bit too giving, and he notices that. You’re burnt out and that's okay. He is too. It's hard living the lives you do. He just wants to lift the weight off of your shoulders and give you comfort.

Bad Habit - Steve Lacy
[ “I bite my tongue, it’s a bad habit.”
“Kinda mad that I didn't take a stab at it”
“Thought you were to good for me my dear” ]
He feels like he's constantly messed up opportunities. Like life is slipping by. “But I'm the best, right? Why the hell is this happening.” it pangs his heart every time you give someone else your attention. Isn't he funny? Isn't he the best? Isn't he the only one deserving of your attention? His behavior created a grave of obsession, an unhealthy dependency, on someone who'd given him a slice of normality. You hadn't put him on a pedestal, you treated him like a person. This was his battle, he couldn't treat you as his mirror. You were too good for him, and he knows that. He had to better himself.

IFHY (feat. Pharrell) - Tyler, The Creator, Pharrell Williams
[ “I fucking hate you”
“But I love you”
“I'm bad at keeping my emotions bubbled” ]
He is an extremely angry individual, it was even hard for him to understand how you’re able to put up with him. Maybe you don't, and that's good. It's damaging to be around someone so angry and violent the entire time. At least acknowledges that, but is he willing to fix it? For you, anything. He can be very flippant and in his head a lot of the time. You don’t give him any reasons to be angry, but of course, he likes giving himself problems. It’s not intentional, but the battle with himself is strong. Keeping the relationship neutral is best for now.. neither of you want that though.

Do I Wanna Know? - Artic Monkeys
[ “I'm sorry to interrupt. It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you”
“I don't know if you feel the same as I do”
“But we could be together if you wanted to” ]
Do you feel the same way? Are you wanting him as badly as he wants you (I mean if you’re reading this then it’s most likely yes) but he doesn’t know that. His pride is too great to be rejected. He just wants to hear it from your lips. The same ones he dreams of kissing every night. It drives him insane. If only you could throw him a bone, just some kind of sign to know you actually like him.

About a Girl - Nirvana
[ “I'm standing in your line”
“I do hope you have the time”
“I do pick a number too”
“I do keep a date with you” ]
He’s a sucker for you. Thinking about only you. Pining for your companionship, it feels wrong for him to think about anyone else. It wasn't even a question that he wouldn't think about anyone else. You get a lot more attention than you think, so he'll have to move fast.

Everlong - Foo Fighters
[ “Breathe out”
“So I can breathe you in”
“Hold you in” ]
He wants to be with your being, to get to know every fiber and cell that he’s completely infatuated with. In his head, he’s already committed, others become blurs in his mind. He wants to take away any pain within you. He wants to be the sweet relief of taking deep breaths, soothing your soul, clearing your head. He can be extremely passionate but doesn’t reveal it to people who aren’t worth his time.

Back to the Old House - The Smiths
[ “And you never knew”
“How much I really liked you”
“Cause I never even told you”
“Oh, but I meant to” ]
Due to his cold personality, it seemed impossible for Bakugou being able to have feelings for someone. It's not hard to miss anything that signifies his feelings for you. He’s scared, which is sweet but also sad. He’s had numerous chances to tell you. There’s nothing he desires more than to hold you and tell you those magical words.

Cherry waves - Deftones
[ “You hang the anchors over my neck”
“I liked it at first, but the more you laughed”
“The crazier I came” ]
This song represents the battle with himself. He's afraid if he lets you in, that'll ruin you. He's a target. The League of Villains, his associates, how dangerous his quirk can be. There's a ton of factors. He was never too focused on dating, but once you became his anchor, he didn't want to let you go.

Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls
[ “And I'd give up forever to touch you”
“‘Cause I know that you feel me somehow”
“You’re the closest to heaven that I'll ever be” ]
You've definitely captured his heart, someone he’s always wanted to touch emotionally. No matter how hard he tries, it feels as though something always pulls him back. Like a metaphorical “hell” he thinks he belongs to. His loathing runs deep, but you don't make him feel that way.

The Perfect Girl - Mareux
[ “Youre such a strange girl”
“The way you look like you do”
“You're such a strange girl”
“I want to be with you” ]
Everyone is particularly strange to him, but you? It’s like you were meant to catch his eye. Nothing physically about you is off to him, but the weirdest thing about you is your personality. The last person to catch his attention this much was Kirishima. He started to remember your name just like his best friend. You were different though.
