[[Don Davis (composer)|Don Davis]], who composed for ''The Matrix'', returned to score ''Reloaded''. For many of the pivotal action sequences, such as the "Burly Brawl", he collaborated with [[Juno Reactor]]. Some of the collaborative cues by Davis and Juno Reactor are extensions of material by Juno Reactor; for example, a version of "Komit" featuring Davis' strings is used during a flying sequence, and "Burly Brawl" is essentially a combination of Davis' unused "Multiple Replication" and a piece similar to Juno Reactor's "Masters of the Universe". One of the collaborations, "[[Mona Lisa Overdrive (song)|Mona Lisa Overdrive]]", is titled in reference to the [[cyberpunk]] [[Mona Lisa Overdrive|novel of the same name]] by [[William Gibson]], a major influence on the directors.

[[Leitmotif]]s established in ''The Matrix'' return — such as the Matrix main theme, Neo and Trinity's love theme, the Sentinel's theme, Neo's flying theme, and a more frequent use of the four-note Agent Smith theme — and others used in ''Revolutions'' are established.

As with its predecessor, many tracks by external musicians are featured in the movie, its closing credits, and the soundtrack album, some of which were written for the film. Many of the musicians featured, for example [[Rob Zombie]], [[Rage Against the Machine]] and [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]], had also appeared on the soundtrack for ''The Matrix''. [[Rob Dougan]] also re-contributed, licensing the instrumental version of "[[Furious Angels]]", as well as being commissioned to provide an original track, ultimately scoring the battle in the Merovingian's chateau. A remixed version of "[[Slap It (Fluke song)|Slap It]]" by electronic artist [[Fluke (band)|Fluke]] — listed on the soundtrack as "Zion" — was used during the rave scene.

[[Linkin Park]] contributed their instrumental song "Session" to the film as well, although it did not appear during the course of the film. [[P.O.D.]] composed a song called "[[Sleeping Awake]]", with a [[music video]] which focused heavily on Neo, as well as many images that were part of the film. Both songs played during the film's credits.

It was originally planned for the electronic band [[Röyksopp]] to create the soundtrack, but this offer was turned down.<ref>"[http://www.fib.no/en/News-2015/Kafka-feat-Royksopp-at-the-Bergen-International-Festival/ Kafka feat.
