Bobby Krlic had composed the score for the film by April 2025.[1] While discussing with Tipping on what power sounds like, the duo factored in the use of the term "him" and its omnipresence in hip-hop and sports culture. They discussed about the idea of Cameron's dream to be the best on the planet but factored on how we could musically twist and subvert that dream. Besides the music, Krlic made use of unconventional sounds to amplify the intensity. The composer imaged the sound through pictures, and sampled MRI sounds before composing the actual score for a trap beat.[2]
The film also featured original songs composed and produced by Krlic himself and collaborated with several rappers and artists such as Denzel Curry, Jean Dawson and the lead actor Marlon Wayans himself.[2]Tierra Whack and Guapdad 4000 also make their cinematic debuts with the film, performing few songs.[3]

Track listing
Him (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) track listing
Bill Dubiel of Screen Rant wrote "[the film's] dynamic soundtrack provides the perfect backdrop to the movie's twisted narrative [and] leans heavily into hip-hop and modern rap, accenting with hymns and powerful orchestra pieces for impact in some of the movie's most gruesome yet important scenes."[4] Beatrice Loayza of The New York Times noted that the soundtrack "churns out one banger after the next" but the film heavily overrelies on it and did not help in the pacing of the narrative.[12]Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote "The musical score composed by Bobby Krlic, aka The Haxan Cloak, proves suitably unsettling."[13]Amy Nicholson of Los Angeles Times wrote "Bobby Krlic (a.k.a. the Haxan Cloak), who also composed the music for Midsommar, wows us with a tragic, thundering score."[14]
