[8] Holkenborg recalled in a Zoom chat discussion saying that "the score is hyper-modern and the thematic material is also original, but it’s written in respect of the history of Kong and Godzilla".

Instead, Wingard wished to go in a different direction to create themes that were unique to the MonsterVerse's Godzilla, while paying homage to its influences.

[6] All music is composed by Tom HolkenborgAs with Legendary's previous Godzilla trailers, György Ligeti's "Requiem" was used, followed by "Here We Go" by Chris Classic.

[17] Additional music, which were used in the film, but not featured in the soundtrack, includes: "Over the Mountain; Across the Sea" by Bobby Vinton, "Loving Arms" by Elvis Presley, "Breaking the Law" by Judas Priest, "A Glowing Light, A Promise" by Makeup and Vanity Set, "Chinese festival" by Derek and Brandon Fletcher and "Tea Ceremony" by Brandon Fletcher.

Regarding the track's inclusion, Wingard commented, "I'm thrilled that an inspiring song from a groundbreaking band like Man with a Mission will be playing alongside the battle in Godzilla vs.

"[21] Critic Jonathan Baxton said "There are certainly moments where the score is thoroughly enjoyable [...] Unfortunately, the lack of clear narrative development and dramatic musical storytelling is frustrating, the lack of references to the original Ifukube themes is disappointing, and the over-reliance on occasionally dated and cheap-sounding electronics and simplistic rhythmic drumming makes it pale in comparison to everything that [Alexandre] Desplat, [Henry] Jackman and [Bear] McCreary did.

"[22] A mixed review from Filmtracks commented "The whole experience with Godzilla vs. Kong's soundtrack is miserably disappointing despite a few fleeting, decent ideas from Holkenborg".
