Portugal. The Man steps into the spotlight for Netflix’s hotly anticipated Nobody Wants This Season 2 with Reach You, their contribution to a soundtrack that’s stacked with heavy hitters like Selena Gomez, Chris Stapleton, and Kacey Musgraves.
Dropping October 23 alongside the season premiere, this indie rock gem fits right into the show’s rom-com chaos—think heartfelt bridges over relationships that feel just out of grasp, wrapped in the band’s signature psychedelic swirl and soaring guitars. John Gourley and crew have always nailed that mix of introspection and uplift, from Feel It Still’s global earworm to their deeper cuts on Woodstock, and Reach You seems primed to echo the series’ messy, magnetic pull.
As track 14 on the 18-song collection, it’s sandwiched between BENEE’s What and GIVĒON’s Dancing In The Smoke, making it a perfect breather for those binge-watch moments when emotions run high. Early buzz from the tracklist reveal has fans speculating it’ll capture that longing to connect amid the noise, much like the plot’s interfaith romance tangles. Portugal. The Man’s been on a roll post-2023’s Chris Black Changed My Life, touring festivals and teasing fresh sounds, so this feels like a timely flex—raw energy meets TV gold.
If the rest of the OST lives up to its star power, with Teddy Swims and FINNEAS rounding it out, Season 2’s episodes will hit even harder. Grab your popcorn; this soundtrack’s about to make every scene stick.

Lyrics of Reach You by Portugal. The Man
[Intro]
Ooh, Baby, I’m—
Ooh, Baby, I’m—
Ooh, Baby, I’m—
Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You
[Verse 1]
Try To Reach You
But You Keep Me Out Of Reach
You’re No Stranger
But You’re Stranger Than You Seem
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t Let My Obsessions Turn My Demons Into Real Life
I Do My Impressions, Keep My Feelings On The Inside
Wanna Count My Blessings, But I’m Trying To Decolonize My Mind
[Chorus]
If I Need You One Last Time (Ooh, Baby, I’m—)
If I Need You One Last Time (Ooh, Baby, I’m—)
If I Need You One Last Time (Ooh, Baby, I’m—)
Can I Need You One Last Time? (Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You)
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You
Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You
Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You
Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You
[Verse 2]
Distracted, Television Addict (Ooh, Baby, I’m—), Carry Jealous Baggage
At Least Now I Can Admit That I’m Wrong Sometimes (Baby, I’m Reaching Out)
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t Let My Obsessions Turn My Demons Into Real Life
I Do My Impressions, Keep My Feelings On The Inside
Wanna Count My Blessings, But I’m Trying To Decolonize My Mind
[Chorus]
If I Need You One Last Time (Ooh, Baby, I’m—)
If I Need You One Last Time (Ooh, Baby, I’m—)
If I Need You One Last Time (Ooh, Baby, I’m—)
Can I Need You One Last Time? (Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You)
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You
Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You
Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You
Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You
Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You
Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You
Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You
Ooh, Baby, I’m Reaching Out For You
