'In Love With Myself', Petite Meller's Cyberpunk Song, Made Spotify's US Chart

'In Love With Myself' comes from the soundtrack of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, the ten-episode anime that Netflix released on 20 October 2026. It is credited to Petite Meller, Kalman Chodakiewitz and Eli Shiffman and is the sixth of eight songs on the soundtrack album, which Milan Records put out the same day; the song is also sold on its own as a single. Netflix and the label have not said in which scene it plays. Under the official upload, though, we read 60 comments and replies there on 27 October, in YouTube's 'Top comments' order, and kept the 40 best-liked; more than three in four of those quote the show or talk about how its story ends, and one reply puts the line quoted in the top comment in the finale.

Going by the comments, the finale is where people are finding the song. On 26 October it entered Spotify's US daily chart at No. 192, with 282,740 streams, and in Poland it rose from No. 155 to No. 129. Our radar put Google searches for it in the two days to 27 October at 5.9 times their level of the previous five days. On Genius, where people look up lyrics, it went from outside the daily top 100 to No. 11.

Petite Meller's three songs in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2

Petite Meller is the singer of 'Baby Love', released in March 2015, and of the album Lil Empire, which followed in September 2016. Three of the eight songs on the soundtrack album carry her name, and the label's note says she wrote and composed all three: 'High Forever', 'In Love With Myself' and the ending theme, 'Watson', on which Oslo Green is featured. The opening theme is The Cure's '10:15 Saturday Night'. The animation studio Trigger made the series with the game developer CD Projekt Red; Kai Ikarashi directed it, and Bartosz Sztybor and Masahiko Otsuka wrote it.

On 27 October, Sony Music's soundtrack channel on YouTube, SonySoundtracksVEVO, had four uploads with Petite Meller on them. The most watched was the Marlon Hoffstadt remix of 'High Forever', with 2,331,095 views; it went up on 15 October, five days before the others. 'In Love With Myself' had 1,066,003, the original 'High Forever' 843,465 and 'Watson' 469,577.

Where 'In Love With Myself' plays, without spoilers, and the Edgerunners 2 ending song

The comments give no episode number, but they agree on a moment. Of those 40, 31 quote lines from the show or discuss how the story ends for the characters D and Roman; the other nine compare the two seasons or are about the show in general. The ending credits that the official Cyberpunk 2077 channel posted on YouTube on 24 October are set to 'Watson', the series' ending theme, so 'In Love With Myself' is not the song that usually plays over the credits.

What 'In Love With Myself' is about: a war, a daydream and nobody else

The first verse opens on someone riding in from far away, in a small town. The singer and the people with her ran from a war, and she asks whether running was a crime. She is caught in a daydream, out in town, while clocks drip, an image that made us think of the melting watches in Salvador Dalí's The Persistence of Memory, though nothing from the label points to him. Then a short passage leads into the chorus: dust, fire, hearts burning bright and a promise that they will find the light.

The chorus is a pair of lines, repeated. She has nobody else, she sings, and she is in love with herself: “Bae, I'm just in love with myself”. Across the song the pair is sung ten times, and six of the ten lines that carry the title open on the word bae. As we read it, that word turns the line towards someone close to her: she is telling them she can be enough on her own, which makes it sound less like vanity and more like a way of coping with having nobody else.

The second verse is softer and turns to that other person. She marches to a farm and dances through the wildness in her own mind; there are galaxies in their eyes, and memories that keep secrets they disguise. After a kiss under the moon she starts to bloom, and when they cry, the danger is gone from their face. The chorus follows twice over, and the song ends on the line it is named for.

'In Love With Myself', from zither to grunge

The single lasts 2:53, in A minor by our software's estimate. In the first ten seconds the software picks out singing and a zither, with the first words at 8.8 seconds, and its sound classifier calls the opening 'music for children', which suggests something small, like a music box. The chorus arrives at 0:42. The loudness reading jumps from 0.51 to 0.80, the highest in the song, and the labels switch to grunge and rock music, which points to a band coming in under the same high voice.

From about 1:51 to 2:11 the classifier hears drum and bass as well as electronic music, at a loudness of 0.74. The chorus returns at 2:11, and from 2:28 the band drops out: the reading falls to 0.21, then to 0.06 by 2:41, with guitar and effects to the end. In several passages the classifier tags the voice 'child singing' and 'female singing', which says more about how high and light it is than about who sings; the credits name all three and do not say who sings it. Kalman Chodakiewitz and Eli Shiffman have no other songs under their names on Apple Music, and we found no published account of who they are.

'In Love With Myself' and the first season's 'I Really Want to Stay at Your House'

The first Edgerunners season came out on Netflix on 13 September 2022, and one song it used became a hit in its own right. Rosa Walton's 'I Really Want to Stay at Your House' had first come out in December 2020, on a soundtrack for the Cyberpunk 2077 game. Spotify's global daily list carried it for 26 days, at best No. 87 with 1,248,487 streams, and the label's note under the new soundtrack says it later went gold in the United States, with more than 411 million Spotify streams. A song first heard on screen can reach the charts within days, as Justice's 'Flower in a Hurricane' did after a Grand Theft Auto VI trailer, entering Spotify's global chart at No. 41 on its first full day. Or it can stay something people search for more often than they play, as we found with Fontaines D.C.'s 'Starburster', the theme of MobLand.

'In Love With Myself' is not on Spotify's global chart yet: on 26 October the song at No. 200 there had 1,100,390 streams. That day it also charted in Lithuania (No. 57), Latvia (No. 92), Estonia (No. 134) and Belarus (No. 153). The chorus that suits the scene is also the song's weak point. Away from the show, a listener gets one hook over and over, and the verses pass quickly.

That weak point is what our forecast tests: on Spotify's US daily chart for 20 November 2026, a month after the series came out, 'In Love With Myself' will still be listed, higher than the No. 192 it entered at, and its official upload will have passed 4 million YouTube views by then.
