When you think of The Boys, chart-topping music probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Gory fights, satirical digs at superhero culture, sure — but Emmy-winning original songs? That’s a new one. And yet, the series has officially snagged an Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics, proving its sound is just as sharp as its bite.
The winning track highlights the creative depth of the show’s production team. Unlike many series where music is merely atmospheric, The Boys treats songs as storytelling devices. This Emmy-winning number, Let's Put the Christ Back in Christmas, doubled as satire and narrative, mocking the corporatized spectacle of pop culture while still being catchy enough to stand on its own. That’s no small feat.
It also points to a bigger trend: TV music is evolving. Shows like Euphoria, Stranger Things, and now The Boys are pushing boundaries, blending soundtracks with storytelling in ways that make songs feel like essential characters. With this Emmy, The Boys joins an elite group of shows where music isn’t just an accessory, but a weapon — in this case, a satirical one.
For music fans, the win is validation that the artistry behind TV soundtracks deserves as much recognition as the performances on screen. The Boys may be violent and chaotic, but its music proves there’s brilliance in the madness.
