In December 2020, Daniel Pemberton confirmed that he would return from the previous film to compose the sequel's score.[8] On May 30, 2023, the lead single of the score, "My Name Is… Miles Morales", was released.[2][9] In an interview with Rolling Stone, Pemberton said "[They] did a presentation of all the different art-style approaches in the movie, which was phenomenal, talking about all the different techniques, from the sort of Syd Mead-inspired concept design that 2099’s world is very inspired by, to the watercolor drips of Gwen’s world. For me doing the music, I’m also trying to approach each world with a different palette and a different technique and a different approach."[2]
