Until the End of the World: Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack is a soundtrack album to the film of the same name, released in 1991 on Warner Bros. Records.

With one exception, the songs were created specifically for the film and debuted in it, although some appeared on subsequent albums by the participating artists.

[1] U2's "Until the End of the World" had been previously released on that band's 1991 album Achtung Baby, albeit in a different version.

[8][9] In commissioning the songs, director Wim Wenders asked the musicians to anticipate the kind of music they would be making a decade later, when the film was set.

[8] Other music, used in the film, did not appear on the soundtrack album: The Aka Pygmy and Indigenous Australian music used in the film are from field recordings from two collections: Centrafrique: Anthologie de la musique des Pygmées Aka, 1978, and Les Aborigènes: Chants et danses de l'Australie du nord, 1979, respectively.
