Top 10 Best Songs on the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Soundtrack

I can see why Miles loved listening to this song so much with his headphones at the beginning of the movie. Groovy, swell, and smooth, this song is a sunflower both in name and figuratively. Never has a song from any movie soundtrack suited those three adjectives so splendidly.

Next time I listen to this song, I'm going to try to nod my head to it like Miles did. Speaking of which, I can't imagine this song without Miles himself singing it. It's just so perfect for him.

When I was watching the credits at the end of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, I felt that this song both stood out to me and resonated with me the most. Personally, I think Home by Vince Staples perfectly represents Miles Morales's origin story. The background beats and piano complement the chorus greatly. But the true heart of the song comes from the lyrics, which practically embody Miles's origin story from his own point of view, where he was thrust into action and grew to embrace his superhero responsibilities, ultimately finding his place in the world. Overall, this is personally my favorite song from the soundtrack.

Hearing this song during the part where everyone in New York learned that their universe's Spider-Man died just gave me the feels. The piano piece alone was enough to evoke the somber tone that accompanied Peter Parker's death being broadcast citywide. On the other hand, the lyrics acted as a last stand to that somber tone, defying all that was dark even in the darkest hour of the movie. Seriously, this song has to be the most tragic song from the soundtrack. Making it even more tragic is that it featured the late XXXTENTACION and played during the first posthumous Stan Lee cameo. RIP XXXTENTACION and Stan Lee.

While I feel Home by Vince Staples best defines Miles's origin story, I think Elevate by DJ Khalil best defines Spider-Man as a whole. To me, this song just screams Spider-Man as a superhero icon in his entirety. It's fitting that it was used during the spectacular ending sequence featuring all those Spider-Men shown in an amazing comic book style. Sure, Home is my favorite song from the soundtrack, but Elevate takes a worthy runner-up spot. This song's got me going hard!

What's up, danger? This song played during the moment when Miles took his leap of faith. When this song came on right after Miles went full-on Izuku Midoriya with his venom blast to free himself from the chair and finally got real with himself, I knew no other song could fit this moment as perfectly as this one. Inspiring and intense, this song accurately captures Miles's perspective when he finally overcomes his flaws to become a full-fledged Spider-Man. That's what's up, danger.

Every time I rewatch this scene on YouTube, I get a further realization that it is one of the greatest scenes in animation history.

I'm not usually into Jaden Smith, but I have to say, this is probably one of his better songs, if not one of his best. It seems like Ed, Edd n Eddy revived Ed Co. and collaborated with Jaden Smith for their newest "up" hit! Like most of the songs from the soundtrack, "Way Up" by Jaden Smith is essentially a synopsis of Miles's origin story in musical form. However, Jaden Smith puts his own spin on it, focusing more on Miles being on top of the world now that he's taken his leap of faith as the new Spider-Man. Along with the surprisingly catchy chorus, overall, I actually like this song.

Like Jaden Smith, I don't usually like Nicki Minaj, but I'll make an exception in this case. Got to love how she incorporates a little Spanish into her collaboration with Anuel AA. As for the rest of the song, I love how one verse is entirely in Spanish.

Familia definitely has those Spanish vibes going on. In a meta sense, it's a great tribute to how Miles' family heritage is half-Puerto Rican and half-African American.

I was surprised that this was a Nicki Minaj song I liked. Her songs are very hit or miss, in my opinion.

Ski Mask the Slump God? More like Ski Mask the Lit God. Because honestly, this song is lit. I'm not a big rap fan, but this song's got me ready for action. The beats are sick, the verses are sick, and the lyrics are sick. What makes those things sick are what make this song lit. Enough said.

That piano, that chorus, and that clapping... This song gave it its all. Memories by Thutmose is all about memories, whether they give it their all or you give it your all.

Based on the lyrics, I can see this resonating with Peter B. Parker's mental struggle with his divorce from his universe's Mary Jane Watson. That said, while it's not high on my favorites list, I'm loving it now.

Eh, this one's not bad, but it's just okay. One interesting tidbit I found out was that it was the same song playing on the headphones of Miles's roommate when Miles and the rest of the Spider-Men gang were trying to avoid being discovered by him on the ceiling. I will give it credit for having some substance when it comes to how it represents the more adrenaline-rushing aspect of Spider-Man. Otherwise, I'm not too crazy about this song. But again, it does have substance.

You know, I probably should have had this in my original top 10 remix for this list. Smooth yet empowering, Invincible is a song that makes me feel like I can do anything. And that's saying a lot in comparison to more intense and inspiring songs from this soundtrack like What's Up, Danger.

Same goes for any other intense and inspiring song in general. Got to give props to the tone of this song.

Ah, another song from the soundtrack that's down-to-earth. This and Hide are probably two of the most down-to-earth songs from the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack. Additionally, it is one of the sadder songs from the soundtrack. The overall tone and lyrics of Let Go remind me instantly of the pain and sense of loss Miles felt when his uncle Aaron died at the hands of the Kingpin. I don't think any other song from the soundtrack could have evoked that memory better than this song did.
