LittleBigPlanet 2 features a mixture of both licensed and original music tracks and stings. Players are also able to create music in-game using a Music Sequencer tool.

Original music
LittleBigPlanet 2's soundtrack features more than 40 original pieces of music arranged by award-winning composers including Paul Thomson, Richard Jacques and Winifred Phillips

Many of the original songs are featured in the game as layered "interactive music" objects, allowing players to mix the tracks to suit their own creations. Level creators can set the volume for each layer of the track (drums, strings, piano, etc) or turn-off a track completely. They can also adjust these levels dynamically as the player progresses through the level so that certain layers are introduced or removed seamlessly to suit certain sections of the level.

Licensed music
LittleBigPlanet 2's 22 licensed music tracks were selected to fill two main criteria; Pieces of music were chosen to suit the theme and tone of specific story mode levels but were also selected to provide players with a varied library of music to use when creating their own levels. Because of this, the game's soundtrack features a wide range of musical styles and genres.
