Netflix’s hit Romantic Drama Series Emily in Paris is back with Season 5, and the music is once again a big part of the story. The new season premieres on December 18, 2025, on Netflix.
This time, Emily’s journey moves between Paris and Rome. Because of this, the soundtrack feels fresh, romantic, and European. It mixes French classics, Italian retro songs, modern pop, and emotional covers.
The original score is led by James Newton Howard, with music support from Vincenzo Orrù and Roberta Di Pasquale.
Several songs are also performed in the show, mainly by Ashley Park, who plays Mindy.

Who Composed the Emily in Paris Season 5 Soundtrack?
The score for Emily in Paris Season 5 is credited to James Newton Howard.
Who is James Newton Howard?
James Newton Howard has been nominated for nine Academy Awards across a career spanning The Sixth Sense, The Fugitive, Michael Clayton and Defiance. He co-wrote The Dark Knight and Batman Begins with Hans Zimmer, scored all four Hunger Games films and the Fantastic Beasts series, and began his career as a keyboardist and arranger for Elton John.
Why James Newton Howard’s score sounds the way it does
Howard is one of the last composers writing genuinely long-form orchestral melody for blockbusters. Where much modern action scoring is texture and pulse, he still writes tunes you can hum.
If this style appeals to you — large-scale orchestral, lyrical, hybrid — the tracklist below rewards listening in order rather than on shuffle. Scores written this way are built to accumulate, and individual cues can feel slight on their own.
