A Rhythm Game needs some engaging music to synchronize to, and Friday Night Funkin' is no exception. You can listen here for the first five weeks
, here for the last two in date and here for Monster's songs.
Week 1
- With its average tempo, call-and-repeat nature, and catchy beat, "Bopeebo" is a great, easy-to-learn song.
- The sampling, beatboxing and relaxed rhythm of "Fresh" make it perfect for what is supposed to be a rest between the easy-to-follow "Bopeebo" and the grueling "Dadbattle". An official remix called Fresh (Boyfriend Remix) gives the song actual lyrics sung by none other than Boyfriend, and it slaps.
- "Dad Battle", the final song of Week 1. Not only does the pace become breathtakingly hectic, but Daddy Dearest and Boyfriend begin to put aside the notion of singing in rounds and start harmonizing with one another to try and one-up the other. The remix used on Erect difficulty is even crazier, with Boyfriend overpowering Daddy Dearest with a solo difficult enough for one of the mods!
Week 2
- "Spookeez" sets the mood of this week, with the organ riff at the beginning and funky synths throughout the song. It also features a Leitmotif of "Scary Swings", one of the main themes in Skid and Pump's home series, Spooky Month.
- "South": Who knew that Skid and Pump could sing a track that slaps as hard as their creator slaps tables? The dubstep influences in this song make it even better. The Erect remix has Boyfriend freestyling against the Spooky Kids with an even harder beat in the background.
- "Monster" has been officially added into the game in the Week 7 update, and it is hauntingly beautiful. The song gives off a creepy vibe throughout as Monster sings about how he wants to eat Girlfriend.
Week 3
- "Pico", Week 3's first song sung by and named after one of Newgrounds' most famous mascots, Pico. Look, if you have a song named after yourself, chances are it slaps. Even more so, Kawai Sprite's description confirms a motif hidden in the song itself; that of Endless Handbag, a song typically used and remixed as the theme of Newgrounds.
- "Philly Nice", Week 3's second song, is chaotic, calm and fast-paced. It is also underrated since it is overshadowed by the other two songs in Week 3.
- The Week climaxes with "Blammed", a tune that starts off slow and heavy, until it hits its breakdown, which is one of the most intense in the game, serving as a taste of what Week 4 has in store as Pico and Boyfriend square off in a back and forth complex speed rap of sorts, that builds up more and more until Boyfriend finishes it with a flourish. "Blammed"'s Erect remix has Boyfriend's vocals going absolutely insane with Pico joining in midway through, showing that these remixes really do not fuck around with how difficult they're promised to be.
Week 4
- The synth leads in both "Satin Panties" and "High" are very reminiscent of early 90's pop ballads, befitting Mommy Mearest's status as a pop singer. The Erect remix of "High" takes the original and makes it bop even more than it already did, on top of being done by Namco composer Kohta Takahashi, who's known for his amazing musical works for series such as Ridge Racer and Klonoa.
- The week's final song, "M.I.L.F", starts off heart pumping and stays heart pumping through the whole thing. Both Mommy Mearest and Boyfriend sing lightning-fast and practically harmonize with each other throughout the entire song. It's basically Mommy Mearest's version of "Dad Battle" — and just like "Dad Battle", it will kick your ass on hard if you're not ready.
Week 5
- The Christmas-y style of "Cocoa" combines the singing styles of both Mommy Mearest and Daddy Dearest, making for a memorable track.
- "Eggnog" takes the elements set up by "Cocoa" and cranks them, making a fast-paced bop seamlessly blended with Daddy Dearest's and Mommy Mearest's musical styles as they take turns with each other and Boyfriend on the mic.
- Monster finally makes his official debut into the game with "Winter Horrorland", a haunting yet surprisingly upbeat song about how the Monster wants to butcher and cook Boyfriend and Girlfriend up for his holiday dinner. It's a bit slower-paced than "Eggnog", but it's no less beautiful to listen to, no doubt thanks to Monster's creepily beautiful singing voice — with actual English lyrics to boot!
Week 6
- "Senpai" is a light-hearted, upbeat melody that Senpai and Boyfriend sing in tandem to try and wow Girlfriend, and the harmonizing is flawless.
- "Roses" has a complex composition and colder-feeling instruments to show just how two-faced Senpai truly is as he tries to throw you curveballs with his notes.
- "Thorns" is a near-constant, haunting onslaught that fits the bombshell that broke the school, sounding right out of an Super Nintendo Entertainment System-era boss battle. The song even changes itself depending on whose turn it is to sing: on Boyfriend's turn, the background beat is standard techno fare, but when it's Spirit's turn, it changes into a Clock Tower-esque haunting tune.
Week 7
- "Ugh". Yes, that's the actual name of the song. It's a hardcore metallic dubstep jam with clanging metal sounds and boosted bass. It also gets its name from a disgusted-sounding "Ugh!" peppered at the end of certain verses (a voice sample provided by JohnnyUtah). KawaiSprite somehow made audible disgust into a catchy as hell song.
- "Guns" is a dubstep track, in a similar vein of "Ugh", but much faster, and it has rapidly shifting note patterns. And that's not even taking into account the bass drops near the end of the song that put even "M.I.L.F" to shame.
- The quick-paced and tense "Stress" fits the tone of the week's climax. The percussion is also perfectly in sync with Pico firing his dual UZIs.
Weekend 1
- "2Hot" is the climax of the Week, with a hectic pace, driving bass line, and plenty of freestyling from Pico.
- "Blazin" is the final song of the week, but interestingly it eschews vocals in favor of synchronizing with Pico and Darnell's blows.
Other
- The simple, relaxing beat of "Tutorial" combined with the gradual escalation of the song makes for a very memorable tune.
- "Test" has a simple chill melody as Boyfriend sings with his pixel counterpart from Week 6, flawlessly going through various chord structures and key changes to combine into a wonderful duet. Yes, a song meant for testing purposes is an actual bop.
