The film’s music was composed by Academy Award Winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

Mendes previously said of the film, “For me, that was the late ’70s and early ’80s: the music, the movies, the pop culture of that period generally formed who I was. It was a period of great political upheaval in the U.K., with a great deal of very incendiary racial politics – but at the same time, an amazing period for music and for culture generally – very creative, very politicized, very energized.”
