Summary

• The Us soundtrack perfectly complements Jordan Peele's vision, with a range of songs from well-known artists alongside Michael Abels' score.
• The songs on the soundtrack help create the eerie atmosphere of the psychological horror film, while also underscoring its themes and adding humor.

Every song on the Us soundtrack perfectly complements writer and director Jordan Peele's vision. In part, that's because Us sees Peele reuniting with Get Out composer Michael Abels, though the soundtrack also features an array of pitch-perfect songs from well-known artists. In addition to Abels' terrifying score, the songs on the Us soundtrack range from contemporary Janelle Monáe-written tunes to Luniz's '90s hip-hop classic "I Got 5 on It," which is notably intertwined with Abels' masterful score.

While Jordan Peele's Us is full of haunting quotes, it's also rife with haunting tracks. For example, Abels' slowed-down version of the '90s Luniz hit helps craft the psychological horror film's eerie atmosphere. Meanwhile, other songs on the Us soundtrack help underscore the film's themes — or add in some much-needed humor. That said, Us is packed with great songs that fill the moments in between pieces from Abels' score. Here's every song in Us, in order of when each plays during the film:

• "I Like That" by Janelle Monáe
• "I Got 5 On It" by Luniz
• "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys
• "F*ck tha Police" by N.W.A.
• "I Got 5 On It" (Tethered Mix from Us) by Luniz
• “The Nutcracker Suite: XI. Pas de Deux” by Tchaikovsky
• "Les Fleur" by Minnie Riperton

Every Song On The Us Soundtrack

“I Like That” by Janelle Monáe - Starting at the 11 minute and 23 seconds mark, viewers can hear Monáe's Dirty Computer hit as the film fades from shots of rabbits in cages to the Wilsons driving through a woods-lined road to their NorCal cabin.

"I Got 5 On It" by Luniz - At 21 minutes and 23 seconds, the film's most notable song plays while the Wilsons drive to — and arrive at — Us' significant Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk location. While Gabe (Winston Duke) and Zora (Shahadi Wright Joseph) sing along, Addie helps Jason (Evan Alex) get into the groove.

“Good Vibrations” by The Beach Boys - The next recognizable needle drop comes at one hour, five minutes, and thirty-two seconds into the film as Josh (Tim Heidecker) and Kitty Tyler (Elisabeth Moss), the Wilsons' (sort of) friends, argue when Kitty thinks she hears an intruder. Instead of taking her seriously, Josh tells their smart home to play this Beach Boys tune.

"F*ck tha Police" by N.W.A. - After her family is brutally murdered by their Tethered counterparts in Us, a bloody Kitty crawls on the floor and tries to get some help from their smart home device, Ophelia. When Kitty tells the virtual assistant to "call the police," Ophelia misunderstands and plays N.W.A.'s "F*ck tha Police" as Kitty's double delivers a killing blow. This all unfolds at the 1 hour, 7 minutes, and 43 seconds mark.

"I Got 5 On It" (Tethered Mix from Us) by Luniz - At the 1 hour, 15 minutes, and 42 seconds mark, a reprise of Luniz's "I Got 5 On It" plays after the Wilsons successfully kill off the Tyler family's murderous doubles. This version, which remixes the track with themes from Abels' score, was initially used in promotional material. However, when it became a viral sensation, the remix was edited into the film.

“The Nutcracker Suite: XI. Pas de Deux” by Tchaikovsky - Some of this classical piece plays during a flashback to Addy's ballet days at the 1 hour, 39 minutes, and 55 seconds mark.

"Les Fleur" by Minnie Riperton - In the twist ending of Us, "Les Fleur" plays at the 1 hour, 50 minutes, and 42 seconds mark as the camera pans away from the Wilsons' escape ambulance to show miles of Tethered holding hands across America.
