About This Soundtrack
The 2026 science fiction cinematic release Project Hail Mary, produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and directed by the visionary duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, The Lego Movie), brings Andy Weir's highly acclaimed bestselling novel to the big screen. Starring Ryan Gosling as the amnesiac astronaut Ryland Grace and Sandra Hüller as the commanding Eva Stratt, the film delivers a gripping and emotionally resonant story of survival and friendship. To match the scale of deep-space exploration and the intimate, witty connection between its two main characters, the production features an brilliantly eclectic, cross-generational soundtrack combined with an original ambient score.
Music supervisor Kier Lehman assembled a diverse selection of licensed songs that add depth and warmth to Ryland Grace's lonely journey. The soundtrack features high-energy rock and pop anthems utilized in the official trailers, including Oasis's epic Champagne Supernova and Prince's energetic I Would Die 4 U. Inside the spacecraft, Grace's memories and isolation are accompanied by Kris Kristofferson's soulful country classic Sunday Morning Coming Down, Dennis Wilson's gorgeous and obscure Rainbows, and Miriam Makeba's timeless Pata Pata. The film also incorporates international classics such as Mercedes Sosa's poignant Gracias A La Vida, Ornella Vanoni's Italian pop masterpiece E Così Per Non Morire, and The Beatles' warm folk-rock track Two of Us, which perfectly highlights the unique, language-defying friendship between Grace and Rocky.
Complementing these licensed tracks is the powerful, electronic-infused original score composed by Daniel Pemberton. Known for his innovative work on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Steve Jobs, Pemberton utilizes a mixture of modular synthesizers, retro-futuristic soundscapes, and atypical percussive instruments to capture the scientific tension and wonder of space. This page serves as a technical registry and comprehensive guide for the music played in Project Hail Mary. Below, fans can find a complete chronological tracklist containing every trailer track and licensed song heard in the movie, along with direct streaming links to easily listen on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Amazon.

About the Composer(s)
Daniel Pemberton (born November 3, 1977, in London, England) is a multi-award-winning British composer and songwriter, recognized as one of the most versatile and innovative voices in contemporary film scoring. Rising to prominence in British television in the early 2000s, Pemberton made a major splash in Hollywood with his stylish and genre-blending score for Ridley Scott's The Counselor (2013). He earned widespread critical acclaim for his innovative compositions in Danny Boyle's Steve Jobs (2015) and Guy Ritchie's The Man from U. N. C. L. E. (2015), which showcased his talent for combining retro instrumentation with modern production techniques.
Pemberton achieved global recognition for his sensational, boundary-pushing scores for the Oscar-winning animated features Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), seamlessly mixing hip-hop turntablism, orchestral arrangements, and punk-rock energies. In 2021, he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for 'Hear My Voice' from The Trial of the Chicago 7. For Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's 2026 science fiction drama Project Hail Mary, Pemberton created a highly atmospheric, space-ambient score that utilizes customized electronic instruments and modular synthesizers to match the mathematical wonder of deep-space survival.

About the Movie
Set in the near future, Project Hail Mary follows Ryland Grace, a sole surviving astronaut on a desperate, high-stakes space mission. Grace, originally a middle-school science teacher, wakes up from an induced coma on a spaceship light-years away from Earth with severe amnesia. As his memories gradually return, he recalls the harrowing planetary threat: an alien substance called Astrophage is rapidly consuming the sun's energy, triggering a global extinction event on Earth. Tasked with finding a scientific solution to save humanity, Grace must rely on his ingenuity and analytical mind. His solitary journey takes an extraordinary turn when he encounters Rocky, a mysterious, metallic alien cephalopod-like creature from a neighboring solar system facing the exact same doom. Together, these two unlikely allies form a profound bond, bridging the vast divide between their civilizations to save both their worlds.
