Music
Each week, after an episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend aired, the soundtrack of that episode was released the next day.[16]
The full season soundtrack was released on July 20, 2018. It includes all the songs of season three, sans "The End of the Movie" due to legal issues with Josh Groban's record deals.[17] However, it adds a full demo of the same song from Adam Schlesinger, three additional demos including an "earnest version" of "The Moment is Me" sung by writing team member Ilana Peña and an unused title sequence, and the cut song "Settle For Her" featuring Scott Michael Foster.[18]
