Background
Melvin "Maestro" Lightford and Paul Wright III served as producers and arrangers for the film's score, and the songs were produced by Ledisi and Rex Rideout. During production, Malone was unable to license any songs from Jackson's personal catalog of music. Gospel songs and spirituals that were covered by Jackson were used for the soundtrack. An original song titled "Faith to Carry Me" which was performed by Ledisi, BeBe Winans, and Donald Lawrence was also featured on the soundtrack.

Critical reception
The soundtrack was considered for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media but did not make the final ballot at 66th Annual Grammy Awards. "How I Got Over" and "Faith to Carry Me" were also considered for Grammy Award nominations in the category Best Gospel Performance/Song but also did not make the final ballot, respectively. The soundtrack won "Best Original Score" at the I Will Tell International Film Festival in 2022. The soundtrack was also nominated for Best Soundtrack at the British Urban Film Festival in 2022, and Outstanding Original Soundtrack at the Black Reel Awards in 2023.
