The [[Theme from San Francisco|title song]] may be the best-remembered part of the film. It was composed by [[Bronisław Kaper]] and [[Walter Jurmann]], with lyrics by [[Gus Kahn]]. It is sung by Jeanette MacDonald a half-dozen times in the film, and becomes an anthem for the survivors of the earthquake. It has now become a popular sentimental sing-along at public events such as the city's annual earthquake commemoration, as well as one of two official city songs; the other being "[[I Left My Heart in San Francisco]]".<ref name="sfmuseum.org">{{cite web |title=San Francisco's Official Songs |url=http://www.sfmuseum.org/hist1/song.html |website=www.sfmuseum.org}}</ref> At San Francisco's historic Castro Theatre, the pre-film organ performance always ends with the song as the organ console is lowered down before the film starts.<ref name="KALWNewOrgan">{{Cite web|url=https://www.kalw.org/post/organ-transplant-castro-theatres-mighty-wurlitzer#stream/0 |title=An organ transplant for the Castro Theatre's Mighty Wurlitzer |access-date=2019-04-08|work=kalw.org}}</ref>

Early in the film, the song "[[Darktown Strutters' Ball|The Darktown Strutters Ball]]" can be heard; this is a historically inaccurate inclusion, since the song was written in 1917.

During the two operatic scenes in the film, MacDonald sang excerpts from [[Charles Gounod]]'s ''[[Faust (opera)|Faust]]'' and [[Giuseppe Verdi]]'s ''[[La Traviata]]''. Another song she sings is ''[[The Holy City (song)|The Holy City]]''.
