The theme song is a track called “Til You’re Home,” performed by Rita Wilson—who is both a producer of the film and Tom Hanks’s wife—as well as an active singer-songwriter.
It’s a duet with Sebastián Yatra, a rising Colombian singer to watch, and it’s a gentle, warm ballad that perfectly matches the film’s tone.
