By June 2017, Top Gun composer Harold Faltermeyer had returned to score for the sequel.[8][9] Later, in October 2018, Hans Zimmer joined Faltermeyer to score for the film,[1] accompanied by Lorne Balfe and Lady Gaga also joining the film later.[2] Zimmer produced a new original theme for the film that was featured in the February 2022 trailer, and was played by guitarist Johnny Marr. Marr claimed that the theme was "completely accidental"[10] and did not watch the preview of the film before scoring.[11] Speaking in an interview to Variety, Marr said "I think there was some issue with how the theme was sounding, and I was around and I have a guitar. It really was as simple as that."[11] Twenty One Pilots frontman Tyler Joseph said that their band was reported to feature in the soundtrack, before Tom Cruise ousted them. He revealed in an interview that "I was working with the music placement person for the new Top Gun on writing a new song for them, and then I believe Tom Cruise came in and just fired everyone," Tyler also noted, "It was actually pretty soon after they brought me in to show me parts of the movie and what they were looking for and stuff. Then I got word that there was like a wholesale swap."[12][13] Musician Kenny Loggins has confirmed that his song "Danger Zone", which was used in the first film, will be featured in the sequel.[5][14] "Great Balls of Fire", another song from the first film performed by Jerry Lee Lewis, was also featured in the sequel.[15] The song is performed by Miles Teller, who plays Lt. Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw.[15]
The soundtrack to the 36-years-in-coming movie sequel Top Gun: Maverick teams up Top Gun (1986) composer Harold Faltermeyer with Hans Zimmer, Lorne Balfe, and Lady Gaga. They and a handful of others contribute in various incarnations to a rock-injected orchestral score based partly on the original film's anthem. With songwriting help from one of those others, Michael Tucker (aka BloodPop), Gaga also provides the new power ballad "Hold My Hand." The album's score tracks alternate with pop songs including the latter, a reprisal of Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone," and a live-on-set performance of "Great Balls of Fire" by cast member Miles Teller. Other contributors to the soundtrack include OneRepublic, who offer up original song "I Ain't Worried," and Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, who performs the movie's theme just a year after his appearance on the Bond theme "No Time to Die."

Top Gun: Maverick prominently features several new songs, including an original pop ballad from Lady Gaga, taking the Top Gun sequel's music to new heights while also evoking memories of songs from the first film. In bringing the character of Maverick to the 21st century, the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack is a limited but fun mixture of new songs and popular oldies. The original movie even won an Oscar for one of its songs, and Lady Gaga's single matches that success with a new Top Gun song. Here are the songs used in the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack and where they play in the film.
"Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins - Probably the best Top Gun song. In the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack, the Top Gun song is played in a very similar context to how it was used in the original movie, although it is only played one time in the new film compared to the multiple times in the original. It plays as Maverick returns to the TOPGUN school, during a montage of Navy fighter jets landing on an aircraft carrier.
