Background
Composer Hans Zimmer had scored director Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 film Dune, for which he received the Academy Award for Best Original Score in 2022. He had been a fan of the novel in his teenage years, and chose to score the first film over Christopher Nolan’s Tenet.

Production
After scoring the first film, Zimmer kept writing music in anticipation for its sequel.
“I never left the world of Dune. In fact, I think Denis [Villeneuve] thought I was quite mad, because I kept writing after we finished the first movie. But because I knew the story, I knew the book, I knew what was coming our way. And in fact, a lot of the main themes in this second movie were written at the end of the first film, before Denis started shooting. It felt important to carry on writing when we were still in the same spirit, the same frame of mind”.
