- Variation #20 is the final verse of "Love Like You", titled "Love me like you" and only plays at the end of the episode "Bubbled".
Chime Themes (Season 4)
- Variation #21 lacks any music, instead consisting of the sounds of waves crashing and Steven's clothes on the line flapping in the wind (first played at the end of "Kindergarten Kid"). This theme was only played at the end of 3 episodes.

This first played at the end of "Back to the Barn"). Note that each time this version plays, the insect noises are slightly different. This is the current longest-standing ending theme, being heard at the end of 12 episodes.
- Variation #23 is another one-off variation, which isn't a Steven Universe song at all, but a continuation of "Fifteen Minutes" by Mike Krol that played over the end credits of "Last One Out of Beach City".
Lyrics
Original Version (Variation 12)
| If I could begin to be Half of what you think of me, I could do about anything, I could even learn how to love. When I see the way you act, Wondering when I'm coming back, I could do about anything, I could even learn how to love like you. |
Faded Version (Variation 14)
| You... [Faded voice] Love, like you... |
Nothing Like You (Variation 15)
| I always thought I might be bad, Now I'm sure that it's true, 'cause I think you're so good And I'm nothing like you. |
Adore You (Variation 17)
| Look at you go I just adore you I wish that I knew What makes you think I'm so special |
Right by You (Variation 18)
| If I could begin to do Something that does right by you I would do about anything I would even learn how to love |
How long it Took (Variation 19)
| When I see the way you look Shaken by how long it took I could do about anything I could even learn how to love like you Love like you... |
