Track listing Standard edition Disc 1 No. The soundtrack features a song called " It's On Again" performed by Alicia Keys featuring Kendrick Lamar which serves as the song playing in the end credits. The second disc includes four bonus score tracks, two of them character suites, as well as all of the non-score songs from the standard version, with two additional songs.

The standard version includes a single disc with fourteen tracks of score from the film and six songs by other artists that were both used in and inspired by the film.
