The film's original score is composed by Brian Tyler and features songs performed by the Two Door Cinema Club, Phoenix, Zedd and Galactic.

Tyler played the drums and vibraphone, and used bass, congas and piano to reflect the 1940s and 1950s old-school type band recording and collaborated with the London Philharmonic Orchestra for the orchestral sound.
