Ballerina (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the film score to the 2025 film Ballerina, the fifth installment in the John Wick franchise. The film score is composed by Tyler Bates and Joel J. Richard and released through Lakeshore Records on June 6, 2025.

Background

By April 2023, Marco Beltrami and Anna Drubich were hired as the composers; Beltrami had previously worked with Wiseman on Underworld: Evolution (2006) and Live Free or Die Hard (2007).[1] Later, in September 2024, the duo was replaced by regular franchise composers Tyler Bates and Joel J. Richard.[2]

Release

Halsey and Amy Lee, the lead vocalist of the rock band Evanescence, collaborated for the promotional single "Hand That Feeds".[3][4] The song was released on May 9, 2025,[5][6] and topped the Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, prior to the film's release.[7] The band also performed another promotional single "Fight Like a Girl" featuring K.Flay and released on June 6.[8][9] It was used in the end credits.[10]

The album contains 25 cues with the exception of final track "Become the Assassin" by Le Castle Vania.[11] It was released through Lakeshore Records day-and-date with the film on June 6, 2025.[11] Vania also released an extended play titled Ballerina Code featuring three tracks—"Minus Eleven", "Ballerina Code" and "One Bullet Well Placed".[12][13]

Reception

David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter noted that the duo's "pulse-pounding synth score" deftly integrated with the "thumping techno music".[14] Amy Nicholson of Los Angeles Times wrote "Tyler Bates and Joel J. Richard's percussive score pairs well with a soundscape of shattering glass".[15] Siddhant Adlakha of Mashable called the music "Tchaikovsky- and Vivaldi-influenced".[16]
