Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems, including Britney Spears’ Baby One More Time, Katy Perry’s Roar and I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys. 

All the songs featured in the show were written by Swedish songwriter and producer Max Martin, who has had more number-one hits than any other artist this century, and his collaborators.
