Free Guy (Music from the Motion Picture) is the soundtrack accompanying the songs featured in the film as well as three tracks from the film's original score composed by Christophe Beck. The soundtrack was released digitally by Hollywood Records on August 11, 2021 followed by a vinyl edition that released two days later.^[1][2]

Background

Most of the songs were curated by Shawn Levy were from 1950s and 1960s, handpicked by Ryan Reynolds whom Levy described his musical taste as "quirky, weird, inspired".^[3][4] Levy had originally intended to use the song "Your Love" by the Outfield, but Reynolds suggested using "Fantasy" by Mariah Carey instead as the song had a "joyous, buoyant spirit to it".^[5] Reynolds discussed to Carey on obtaining permission to use it and she allowed them to use the song throughout the film.^[6] A cover version of "Fantasy" sung by Comer was also used in the film, albeit not included in the soundtrack.^[5][7]

Reception

In a three-star review, James Southall of Movie Wave described it as "an entertaining, easy album to listen to".^[9] Jonathan Broxton described it as "a nice memento of a really good film".^[10] Filmtracks.com wrote "The 42-minute score on album is smartly effortless but wholly anonymous, just like Guy, and casual listeners might be better served by the film's song compilation album containing four assembled tracks from Beck's score."^[11]
