Finn Wolfhard Brings Nostalgic Rocker ‘Trailers after dark’ To ‘Fallon’

Finn Wolfhard appeared on last night’s episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The Stranger Things actor and musician performed “Trailers after dark” off his 2025 album, Happy Birthday.

Wolfhard’s new record arrived on June 6. In a May interview with Cosmopolitan, Finn spoke about Happy Birthday‘s second single, “Trailers after dark”:

“There was this channel on cable when I was really young that was a movie trailer channel. I would watch it for hours with my family at home. I started writing this song from the perspective of my mom. I’m not a mother and I never will be, but I imagine that as a mother, you have kids and they’re your entire world. And then it’s like the minute they turn 18, they’re just out of there. I wrote this song about the nostalgia of watching this trailer channel and from the perspective of a parent who’s really missing their child.”
