Joker 2 soundtrack: Lady Gaga songs & full tracklist

As a seasoned gamer and music enthusiast with a soft spot for movies that blur the lines between reality and fantasy, I eagerly anticipate the release of Joker 2. The news of its soundtrack, score, and Lady Gaga companion album has me buzzing like a clown fish on Red Bull!


In contrast to the initial film, which primarily delved into Arthur Fleck’s spiral into insanity and pursuit of acknowledgment, the second installment, Joker 2, seems to be adopting a more theatrically-inclined approach, featuring a soundtrack comprised of classic big band tunes.

There’s been lots of discussion about whether Joker: Folie à Deux can truly be classified as a musical, yet regardless of that, there’s an abundance of music from the latest film for you to appreciate.

There’s a fresh score by Hildur Guðnadóttir, a Lady Gaga companion album, and a new soundtrack with songs performed by Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. That’s a lot of tunes to get tappin’ to.

Here’s an overview of the complete composition for the Joker 2, encompassing the soundtrack, orchestral score, and a collaborative album with Lady Gaga. A word of caution: expect eerie recurring themes and traditional musical pieces.

Joker 2 soundtrack tracklist
