There are very few albums I can confidently say I would listen to all the way through without skipping any songs, let alone ones that I would literally put on repeat. But the soundtrack to “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” is at the top of that list.

It may be because of my enduring love for Spider-Man — as evidenced by my computer screensaver, which is digital art I commissioned on Etsy of me and my boyfriend as Spider-Man and Gwen, in the classic upside-down kiss pose — but this album means so much to me.

“METRO BOOMIN PRESENTS SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE (SOUNDTRACK FROM AND INSPIRED BY THE MOTION PICTURE)” spans genres, artists and sound clips from the movie (my favorite part). You don’t have to be a Spider-Man fan to enjoy the album; somehow each song brings emotional appeal or is an absolute banger.

More than anything, what I love about the album is its message — the same one that Spider-Man represents, no matter which version: “No matter how many times I get hit, I always get back up.” When Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson) said that in “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse” (2018), it verbalized the feeling that made Spider-Man my favorite superhero since I was a kid.

With the release of the second Spider-Verse film, there’s finally a Spider-Person I can see myself in: Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), with her theme being my favorite song on the album, “Self Love” by Metro Boomin and Coi Leray.

I fully expect this to be my top song on Spotify Wrapped this year. I’ve listened to it incessantly. Maybe it’s because I relate so much to the lyrics — feeling naive and impressionable living in the city for the first time — or because it plays during Gwen’s montage in the movie and I want so badly to be her, but I cannot get this song out of my head.

As a small-town girl who is now “a long way from suburban towns,” this song just speaks to me. It is a seldom seen side of Leray, whose music I subsequently explored after becoming obsessed with this song. She shows a vulnerability that makes the song so emotional and relatable — even for those not from suburbia.

The song ends with my favorite quote from my favorite scene in the movie, when Gwen and Miles sit upside-down on the Williamsburg Bank Building.

“In every other universe, Gwen Stacy falls for Spider-Man. And in every other universe, it doesn’t end well…” Gwen says.

This little easter egg, which refers to another Gwen Stacy’s (Emma Stone) death in “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” (2014), literally puts tears in my nerdy little eyes every time I hear it.

My second favorite song on the album is also one of the few in the album that includes women artists: “Am I Dreaming” by Metro Boomin, A$AP Rocky and Roisee, which incorporates beautifully melodic strings with R&B.

Roisee absolutely ate on her first hit song. “Am I Dreaming” is filled with raw emotion; Roisee’s own lyrics — “Got me feelin’ / Like it’s all too much / I feel beaten / But I can’t give up” — capture Spider-Man at his core and inspire me to keep fighting when I feel down.

As for the rest of the album, “Annihilate” by Metro Boomin, Swae Lee, Lil Wayne and Offset, is energizing and emblematic of the feeling Miles gets when he takes his canon leap of faith — an unforgettable way to start off the album. My favorite chill-vibes songs are Metro Boomin’s and James Blake’s “Hummingbird” and “Nonviolent Communication,” the latter also a collaboration with A$AP Rocky and 21 Savage. Both songs are melodic with incredibly poignant lyrics and unique sounds.

“Silk and Cologne” by EI8HT and Offset never fails to make me want to dance, and “Calling” by Metro Boomin, Swae Lee, NAV and A Boogie wit da Hoodie is a beautiful romantic collaboration among legendary artists.

I want to include an honorable mention for Dominic Fike’s “Mona Lisa,” which isn’t on the soundtrack album but was featured in the movie. This song manages to capture the feeling of a love that is inescapable and inevitable because it is just meant to be, much like the “canon” events central to the film.

Clearly, my favorite songs are the romantic ones, which may or may not be because my boyfriend is Puerto Rican like Miles (Shameik Moore), from New York City and went to the exact high school on which Midtown High School, Peter Parker’s high school in the Tom Holland films, is based.

Metro Boomin put together a masterpiece of an album, bringing in some of the biggest names in R&B and hip-hop to encapsulate not just the mood of Spider-Man, but the mood of the most inclusive version of the Spider-Man movies there has ever been, from a Black superhero to Spider-Women.

This weekend, as I was preparing to write this article, I experienced a major trigger to my PTSD, my first in a while. The first thing I did the next day was have a “self love” day, which included listening to this album over four times.

At a time when I felt out of control of my body and my mind, listening to the album — songs that touch on resilience and the strength that can be found in pain — empowered me to get back up, just like Spider-Man.

If you haven’t already listened to the album, let alone seen the movie, give it a try. To quote Miles’ response to Gwen at the end of “Self Love”: “Well, there’s a first time for everything, right?”
