You know, for cardio, for close combat training, for plotting some Old Testament shit against the fat and blissful surface world, whose time is coming. Us, on its face, is about a family who discovers their red-suited doppelgangers on a beach trip and spends one really bad night trying to either escape from or kill their grimmer halves. I am not here to talk about that. I am here to talk about the music, which is good.

The official Us soundtrack includes Abels' terrifying score, a couple of classic soul songs, and features the popular s hip-hop tune "I Got 5 on It". Abels has turned one of the most popular songs from the s into an eery tune fitting for a horror film. Aside from that, the talented composer has put together several unsettling tracks that support the disturbing atmosphere set up in Us. While the original score features music from Abels, the other songs come from well-known artists and spread across several decades, including the '70s and the '90s. These songs can be heard playing in the background throughout the film's runtime. Luniz's " I Got 5 on It" is first heard when the Wilson's are driving to the Santa Cruz beach to spend time with their friends, and is the only '90s song heard in the film.
