• Grief Song: "Until You Were Gone"
• I Just Want to Be Special: In "Something Just Like This" with Coldplay:

I've been reading books of old, the legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold, Hercules and his gifts
Spider-Man's control, and Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
But she said, where'd you wanna go? How much you'd wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts

• Let's Duet: "Closer", between Andrew Taggart and Halsey.
