Background
"It's been such an honor to be a part of this incredible show for the past eight years", said Ramin Djawadi.

Djawadi says of his track "The Night King": "When I talked to Miguel [Sapochnik], the director, and when David [Benioff] and [D. B. Weiss] came to my studio and we started working on this episode, we all agreed that it had to be a piano piece again, just like 'Light of the Seven'.[...] It definitely misled the audience because of what they knew from 'Light of the Seven', back in season six. We always treated the music as another character in the show."
