Euphoria Season 2 Official Score (From the HBO Original Series) is British singer Labrinth's soundtrack album to the second season of the American teen drama television series Euphoria. It was released by Columbia Records on 22 April 2022. The album peaked at number 162 on the Billboard 200.
Background British musician Labrinth composed the music for Euphoria season 1 and returned for the second season. This was the final Euphoria score in the series composed by Labrinth, as he would leave the show during the production of the third season due to a behind-the scenes feud with creator Sam Levinson.
Composition Consisting primarily of instrumental tracks, the album features guest vocals from Angus Cloud, Zendaya and Dominic Fike. Producer Labrinth was interviewed by IndieWire about the soundtrack: "We spoke about using organs because of a lot of the religious influences in the show, especially with Rue. We wanted a lot of the sounds edging towards a religious sound. And because I love both Pentecostal and Catholic sounds, I kind of was like trying to merge them both together."
Commercial performance The soundtrack features the previously released singles "I'm Tired", "Elliot's Song", and "Mount Everest" which peaked at numbers 49, 91, and 58 on the UK singles chart, respectively. The first two were featured on the Euphoria Season 2 (An HBO Original Series Soundtrack), and the latter song was also featured on the Euphoria (Original Score from the HBO Series) as well as Labrinth's 2019 album Imagination & the Misfit Kid. A music video for "Mount Everest" premiered on Labrinth's official YouTube channel on April 22 to coincide with the release of the soundtrack.
