What song would Romeo listen on his way out of the party?
My opinion on how Romeo is feeling after the Capulet feast is that he is feeling unhappy and depressed because of his facial expressions and the tone in his voice. He feels this way because he thought he found love at first sight not knowing she is a Capulet. For example, when he said "Is she a Capulet? O dear account! My life is my foe’s debt." out loud he said it in a sad tone.
This wouldn't have happened if Benvolio didn't encourage Romeo to go to the Capulets feast. Benvolio thought this was a better way for Romeo to get over his rejection by Roseline because he would be able to see "other beauties" and when he went to the feast he laid eyes on Juliet and fell in love at first sight. But he ended up sad again because Juliet is a Capulet and he is a Montague.
This song fits Romeos emotional state because he is heartbroken. In this song Sleepy Hallow says "Girl, I got some bad luck with love, so don't judge." Romeo can relate to this because when he fell in love with Roseline that didn't end up good and him now falling in love with Juliet and not being able to date her just shows he has bad luck with love. He would have this on repeat as he is leaving the Capulets feast and hopefully avoid being in that depressed stage he was before when he got rejected by Roseline.
