Kris Bowers composed the film score for Goat, who added that as he was initially associated with films where he could write jazz and Black music in his early stages of career, he felt comfortable scoring for Goat where he had extensive freedom on making music which he listened since his childhood calling it an exciting experience. The score was eventually influenced by pop, hip hop and R&B music.[10][11]
The music was seamlessly designed to match with the animation and visual style. Bowers recalled that the basketball player late Kobe Bryant, had earlier adviced him to approach film music with a childlike wonder and inspire from John Williams' work, as a result the score emphasizes heavy use of orchestra especially in the roarball sequences.[10][11]
The film score was released through Milan Records and Sony Classical Records on February 13, 2026.[12]
Reception
Owen Gleiberman of Variety and Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter considered Bowers' score to be "exciting" and "fascinating".[13][14] Daniel Howat of Next Best Picture stataed "Combined with a killer soundtrack and a strong score by Kris Bowers, the film’s overall vibe is electric."[15]
