He’s trying to say, this kid and his family, this is epic - this love is epic. It’s not unlike Bruce Springsteen will take the feelings of an everyday person and in the way that the track is built and arranged, it’s saying, “this is important.” I think Metro does the same thing, and that’s what Daniel’s trying to do. He’s always saying, that thing that you feel by yourself in your room, I’m looking for someone to share this with. What he’s interested in is elevating the feelings of one person driving in a car, listening to a song and making how you feel that day into an epic odyssey. Phil Lord: It dovetailed nicely, it was a good fit from the jump. Because even when you watch the movie, everything’s so cohesive to where the score and the songs blend in a way to where you would not know is this a song or is this just part of the score? We would speak at times, and paying attention to the score of the first film, I took in the amazing job he did so the songs and stuff that I’m doing, and especially the ones in the film, complement that style rather than everything feeling all over the place. I had really locked in on the soundtrack, he was locked in on the score. How much, if at all, did you work with Daniel Pemberton, who composed the film’s score? What do you think?” And he would send us a weird string quartet and be like, what do you think? And we’d be like, “it’s beautiful - can’t wait to see what you do with it.” In order to just cut through all the red tape, we would send him clips, like “here’s how we dropped that song in.

A lot of this movie was made by text message, and the soundtrack album is no different. Everybody was like, we can’t possibly, and I was like, if he wants something, send it.

He was really preoccupied with the sequencing of the record and how to make it feel like its own piece. One of the things he did late in the game which freaked everybody out on the production side, was he asked, “could I just have the whole movie? Because I want the dialogue stem so I could drop it in and it’ll help with the album sequencing.
He’s so open to things dropping into the track and altering how the final song turns out. Believe it or not, as tightly rigorously written and edited this movie is, it is felt out and so is his music.
Phil Lord: He was responding to the movie in this vibey way. They were really supportive, put a lot of my ideas, they had a lot of ideas, and it was really a fun experience and a learning experience. But they handed it over to me and I was just that filter on what I felt had fit best with the film. A lot of times with soundtracks now, the studio just gets a bunch of songs and they might be like, “X, Y, Z, keep this in here,” and give parameters. Metro Boomin: They really just let me loose and let me do just what I felt. I was just inspired by so many colors and all the different animations in the film, so I took a more melodic approach to the whole soundtrack from the beats to the songwriting and singing and everything.ĭid the studio or the filmmakers gave you any particular direction? Because they had already set the bar with the film, so I just wanted to see how sonically I could support that as much as I could. But I mean really just everything they did with the film, from the plot to the animation to the comedy, to everything, just really made it easy for me to see what I needed to do. Maybe in a couple more months there’d be another cut and then I’d watch that and go back to the studio. I’d watch those, go back to the studio, work on some stuff.

Then there were early cuts of the full film. Most of them were halfway finished, but I’d get an idea and just really draw inspiration from those. Metro Boomin: They would send me packs of scenes. How did your collaboration begin? Did they specify for which scenes they wanted songs? Metro Boomin’ “Spider-Verse” character (Courtesy Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures Animation)
