Bridgerton Season 3 has taken a modern pop cover of Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything” and paired it with a steamy carriage scene, adding humor and emotional resonance to Colin and Penelope’s relationship. However, the show’s success lies not in using any old pop song, but in selecting a piece that is meaningful and relevant to the scene. This is especially true for Kate and Anthony’s relationship in Season 2, which was beautifully highlighted by orchestral covers of songs like Miley Cyrus’s “Wrecking Ball,” reflecting their evolving love story.
Bridgerton’s showrunners have taken a deliberate approach in incorporating classical covers of modern pop songs throughout the series. For example, the mid-season finale of Season 3 featured a violin rendition of Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything,” which added humor and emotional resonance to the steamy carriage scene.

However, Bridgerton’s classical pop covers are not always successful. In fact, the show’s most memorable moment is probably its rendition of Miley Cyrus’s “Wrecking Ball” at the end of Season 2, which added depth and meaning to Kate and Anthony’s relationship.
As the series progresses, viewers can look forward to even more orchestral pop covers, disguised as string quartet cover songs. With the remaining episodes of Season 3 set to drop on June 13th, fans of Bridgerton can expect more bangers, along with the show’s usual dose of regency drama and romance.
