[2026 Edition] Latest Western Movie Theme Songs and Insert Songs (61–70)
CallingMetro Boomin, NAV, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Swae Lee
For those who like mellow-sounding rap songs, I also recommend “Calling.” It’s a collaboration by DJ Metro Boomin and rappers Swae Lee and NAV, and serves as the theme song for the film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
The lyrics portray the protagonist’s feelings as he loses his sense of identity and struggles.
Whether you’ve seen the movie or not, you’ll likely relate.
The music video, which uses footage from the film, is also a must-see.
Tubular BellsMike Oldfield
An essential element of a moving cinematic experience is the music that plays within the film.
Mike Oldfield’s signature work is known for a tone that embodies the eerie atmosphere of The Exorcist.
Listening to it, you can vividly picture the tense scenes on the screen along with its distinctive resonance.
Released in February 1973, the piece was composed when Oldfield was 19, with him performing almost all the instruments himself.
Deeply tied to the film, this theme has continued to linger in viewers’ minds and is still beloved and talked about today.
It’s a highly recommended track for everyone who loves and is interested in film music.
No MindMilkblood
Uncharted, known as a popular action-adventure game series, was adapted into a live-action film in 2022 starring up-and-coming actor Tom Holland.
The ending theme is No Mind by Milkblood, a cutting-edge electronic duo that debuted in 2020.
It has a modern, melodic EDM vibe, with floor-shaking snare and kick low-end paired with an emotional melody—really nice stuff.
The music video is packed with memorable scenes from the movie, so you’ll enjoy it more if you watch it after seeing the film!
Hate Me NowNas
Gran Turismo, Sony’s hugely popular racing game series, and the biographical film about Jann Mardenborough—a passionate player who later became a professional racing driver—share the same title: Gran Turismo.
The trailer features the song Hate Me Now by the American rapper Nas, a collaboration with Sean Combs, who was performing under the name Puff Daddy at the time.
Released in 1999, the track reached No.
8 on Billboard’s Rap chart.
Angel Pt. 1NLE Choppa, Kodak Black, Jimin of BTS, JVKE, & Muni Long
The track that’s been making waves thanks to its star-studded collaboration is “Angel Pt.
1.” It’s a song produced for the film Fast & Furious: Fast X.
The artists behind it are rapper NLE Choppa, Kodak Black, Jimin from BTS, as well as JVKE and Muni Long—what a lineup.
The song portrays the pain that comes from loving someone.
Be sure to listen to it alongside its sequel, “Angel Pt.
2.”
Us Vs. Them (Feat. Gucci Mane)Quavo & Takeoff
“Us Vs Them,” a track released in 2022 by Quavo and Takeoff—known as members of Migos, who dominated the U.S.
music scene from the 2010s onward—featuring Gucci Mane.
Sadly, it’s still fresh in our memory that Takeoff passed away in a sudden incident that same year, but the film whose trailer uses this song is “Dumb Money.” The beat is so distinctive that you’ll recognize it immediately when you watch the trailer!
FlashQueen
Released in 1980, the film Flash Gordon has a devoted cult following.
It even influenced director George Lucas and helped inspire the creation of the Star Wars series—truly a legendary movie.
The music was handled by the British rock band Queen, and the theme song Flash was released as a single, reaching No.
10 on the UK charts.
Many people have probably heard its memorable opening.
In Japan as well, it was used in a variety of contexts, such as the theme for F1 broadcasts and in commercials.
