Who composed the original underscore music for the 2026 film Michael?

Lior Rosner composed the original underscore music for the 2026 film Michael.

An underscore is the instrumental music written to support scenes, emotions, transitions, and dramatic pacing. It is different from the featured songs performed by Michael Jackson or the Jackson 5. Michael combines those familiar recordings with newly written score material to shape the film’s narrative flow.

Rosner is credited as the film’s music composer. His work supports a story that moves across several periods of Jackson’s life, from his childhood performances with the Jackson 5 to later stages of his solo career. The film’s soundtrack contains 13 songs, while the underscore is part of the film’s broader musical construction.

The composer credit is therefore distinct from the singers, songwriters, music supervisors, and performers associated with the soundtrack songs. It is also separate from the film’s director, Antoine Fuqua, and screenwriter, John Logan.
