Who composed the musical score for Michael (2026 film)?

Lior Rosner composed the musical score for Michael (2026 film).

A film score is the original instrumental music written to support a movie’s scenes, moods, transitions, and dramatic structure. It is separate from songs that already existed in Michael Jackson’s catalogue and are featured as part of the story.

Michael includes music from Jackson’s early work with the Jackson 5 and later solo recordings. The soundtrack draws from albums including Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad, while Rosner’s score provides newly composed material for the film itself.

Rosner’s role is distinct from that of the soundtrack’s performing artists, music supervisors, and songwriters. It is also different from the film’s director, Antoine Fuqua, who oversaw the production, and cinematographer Dion Beebe, who shaped its photographic style. The film’s music therefore combines a dramatic original score with familiar recordings linked to Jackson’s career.
