Development

"This isn't a traditional score. It's really out there - with nods to industrial, hip-hop and even gabber. The majority of the score is me blending a lot of hip-hop rhythms and beats with the zanier elements of the original series. We used players on surf guitars and Hammond organs, and it was a great chance for me to get my hands dirty on the bass guitar and iconic drum machines, like the Emulator SP1200. I had a blast working on this. Scoob! was really a lot of fun."

— Tom Holkenborg, about Scoob!'s score, in an interview to ComicBook.com

On January 28, 2020, Tom Holkenborg signed on to compose the film's score. For the film's music, Holkenborg and the crew also looked back to the music of the original series as inspiration. Speaking in an interview to ComicBook.com, Holkenborg said that Scooby-doo is an "iconic character for multiple generations" and the score has "several layers in the sounds, ranging from counter-culture, surf rock and psychedelia". In the process, he mixed hip-hop beats from the 1960s with psychedelic elements for creating the score.

While creating the music, Holkenborg wanted to write several cues for every characters featured in the film. For Scoob and Shaggy, they created an emotional cue called "Coller theme" which "underscores their bonding and it comes back in various tones" and also wrote a "shenanigans" theme, for the fun elements shared between the two characters. Several characters, such as Dusty, Cerberus, Caveman, Dastardly and Muttley, had independent themes, while Blue Falcon, Dynomutt and the Falcon Ship, had "heroic themes".

Dastardly's theme was created with urban beats with industrial sounds, and Muttley's theme was curated with distorted synths and growling bass sounds. For Caveman, he created a Dutch music style called Gabber, a distorted house music in the 1960s. For "Mystery Inc." Holkenborg had created a separate cue with the 1960s hip-hop genres and sampled it with the sound of modern elements, to create the vibe from the television show. They also played surf guitars, and hammond organs for the score.

The original audio from Scooby-Doo television series, was found at the archives of Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank.

Reception

Holkenborg's score received positive response from Jonathan Broxton, stating "Tom Holkenborg’s writing has become so much richer, so much more impressively complicated, and so much more intellectually stimulating". In contrast, James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "We have some classic cartoonish mickey-mousing (the Remote Control sound on the orchestra); we have some mock-gothic horror music; surf rock; some big action cues; some classic heist-style music; some modern electronic stuff but nowhere near as much "industrial, hip-hop and even gabber". It’s good-natured music but flits about all over the place, from one style to another every few seconds – it must have been exhausting to write and it is exhausting to listen to." Filmtracks gave a mixed review, stating "Together, these elements, despite their somewhat smart design, never coalesce into a truly functional film score, the main themes underplayed and the narrative badly neglected. It's a resume-builder for Holkenborg, surely, but an obnoxious one at that."
