Back in Action (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) accompanies the 2025 American action comedy Back in Action, directed by Seth Gordon and released on January 17, 2025 exclusively on Netflix. The original score was composed by Christopher Lennertz, a prolific composer known for his work on The Boys, Lost in Space, Ride Along and Tom & Jerry. Lennertz’s music combines dynamic orchestral action cues with rhythmic motifs and playful themes to match the film’s blend of high-octane sequences and comedy.
The soundtrack album was released on January 17, 2025 via Netflix Music, LLC. Titled Back in Action (Soundtrack from the Netflix Film), it contains 25 original score tracks with a total runtime of approximately 57 minutes, available on major platforms including Apple Music and other digital services.
Lennertz’s score underscores the film’s narrative rhythms—melding fast-paced action cues, lighter thematic material tied to character interplay, and tension-driven passages that support both comedic and dramatic moments. The music shifts fluidly between propulsive sequences and more intimate underscores, mirroring the protagonists’ journey from retired spies to reluctant back-in-the-field operatives.
Licensed songs also feature throughout Back in Action, including period classics and pop tracks used diegetically in the film (e.g., “Doo Wop (That Thing)” by Ms. Lauryn Hill, “L-O-V-E” by Nat King Cole, and “Push It” by Salt-N-Pepa), but these are not part of the official score release.
