In March 2024, soundtrack specialist label La-La Land Records released a limited edition (5000 copies) double CD containing Harold Faltermeyer's entire original score with the second disc containing all the songs from the classic soundtrack, the additional songs featured in the film but not released until the Special Expanded Edition and, for the first time since its appearance on the B-side of "Take My Breath Away", "Radar Radio" by Giorgio Moroder and Joe Pizzulo, briefly heard in the film's final scene playing on a radio before Maverick and Charlie are reunited while "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" plays on the jukebox.

[9] Toto was originally intended to perform the track "Danger Zone", but legal conflicts between the film's producers and the band's lawyers prevented this.

Bryan Adams was approached to perform it, but refused any involvement in the film, feeling that it glorified war and, as such, not wanting any of his work linked to it.

[10] Members of Toto also wrote and intended to perform a song called "Only You" that would have been used as the film's love theme instead of "Take My Breath Away", but legal conflicts prevented doing so.

[12] ABC members Martin Fry and Mark White were invited to see the director's rough cut version of Top Gun in 1986.

Although the rest of the band seriously considered the idea, they declined under the belief that their long-time fans would not like the song and would accuse the group of selling out.
