Before production began, rock-and-roll songwriting partners [[Jerry Leiber]] and [[Mike Stoller]] were commissioned to create the film's soundtrack, but they did not send any material to MGM for months. In April 1957, the studio summoned the writers to New York and [[Jean Aberbach]], director of the [[Hill & Range]] music publishing company, confronted them demanding to see the songs. When told that there was no material, Aberbach locked the songwriters in their hotel room and would not allow them to leave until they had written songs. Four hours later, Leiber and Stoller had written "[[I Want to Be Free (Elvis Presley song)|I Want to Be Free]]", "[[Treat Me Nice]]", "[[(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care]]", and "[[Jailhouse Rock (song)|Jailhouse Rock]]".{{sfn|Collins|2005|pp=84–7}}

Presley recorded the finished songs at [[Radio Recorders]] in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]] on April 30 and May 3, 1957, with an additional session at the MGM soundstage in Hollywood on May 9 for "[[Don't Leave Me Now (Elvis Presley song)|Don't Leave Me Now]]".{{sfn|Jorgensen|1998|pp=89–90}} Leiber and Stoller were invited to the recording session of April 30, where they met Presley, who convinced MGM to cast Stoller as the band's pianist in the film.{{sfn|Collins|2005|p=88}} During filming, Presley [[Lip sync|mimed]] the words for film's musical numbers, and the music was later added to the finished scenes.{{sfn|Millard|2005|p=239}}
