Back to Black doesn’t just contain songs from the album it’s based on, with the new biopic movie bringing in other Amy Winehouse tracks and music that inspired her work too.
Whether you’ve seen the new movie at the cinema or are planning a watch, you might be wondering which songs have made it onto the Back to Black soundtrack.
Unlike other music biopics, the movie’s star Marisa Abela sings throughout the movie so the Amy Winehouse tracks you hear won’t sound exactly as you remember them. If you want the original versions though, they’re being released as part of the official soundtrack.
So here’s all you need to know about the Back to Black soundtrack and which Amy Winehouse songs made the cut.

As mentioned above, although Back to Black largely focuses on the titular album that was inspired by Amy’s relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil, we do hear some earlier tracks taken from her debut album Frank.
