The "Knight Rider Theme" was composed by [[Stu Phillips (composer)|Stu Phillips]] and Glen A. Larson.<ref>[http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtdFPE.asp?ppn=MN0092317 "Knight Rider Theme" sheet music]. musicnotes.com</ref> The series DVD bonus material contains an interview about this lead music, where Glen A. Larson says he remembers a theme out of a classical piece ("Marche Et Cortège De Bacchus" Act III – No. 14 from [[Sylvia (ballet)|''Sylvia'']] written by French composer [[Léo Delibes]]) from which he took pieces for the "Knight Rider Theme". The decision to use synthesizers was largely a network decision. Larson claims that they used five or six synthesizers, drums and a [[Fender (company)|Fender]] bass.

The rest of the series music was composed by Stu Phillips for 13 episodes and Don Peake for 75 episodes. Glen A. Larson co-wrote music for one episode and [[Morton Stevens]] wrote the music for one episode.  Peake took over scoring duties with the 14th episode of [[Knight Rider season 1|season 1]], "Hearts of Stone",  in 1983, when Larson moved to [[Twentieth Century-Fox]] and Phillips was working there on his projects.<ref>"Revving It Up", liner notes, ''Knight Rider: The Stu Phillips Scores'', FSM Vol. 8, No. 10.</ref> Peake remained as the series sole composer until the end of the series in 1986.

In 2005, FSM released a disc of music from the series, featuring the series theme, ad bumpers and Phillips' scores for "Knight of the Phoenix" (the pilot), "Not a Drop to Drink", "Trust Doesn't Rust", "Forget Me Not" and the composer's final episode "Inside Out", as well as the logo music for Glen Larson Productions.
