Tracks 10 and 11 are listed as "Bonus Tracks" as they were not used in the film (John Debney and Christopher Young reworked several cues of the score,[6] in addition to music from the first film being tracked in). The score is performed by The Hollywood Studio Symphony, conducted by Pete Anthony.

Towards the end of post-production, things were running tight and a few cues were replaced with music written by John Debney and Christopher Young. While neither of those two composers' contributions appear on the album, Elfman has opted to release the original cues he wrote for two sequences: 'Train / Appreciation'... [and] 'Aunt May Packs'..
