Development

Over a month prior to the commencement of the film's principal photography, composer Michael Giacchino announced that he would return to score the sequel to 2009's Star Trek.^[2] One of Giacchino's main tasks with the sequel, later entitled Star Trek Into Darkness, was to evolve the themes from the previous installment and create new ones to reflect the film's darker tone. "There’s a moment when the Enterprise is taking off, and they are going off on their mission, and I thought 'This would be fun to bring back that similar moment from the first film,' but it wasn’t working. It was too much of an adventure feel, and it was all about saying 'Okay, well how do I do that same idea but in a darker way?' It’s all about finding the right chords and substitutions that you are using with those melodies – and how did that alter the melody? It’s constantly trying to bend and twist things so you feel that theme from the previous film, but it’s being used in a different way. You have a different emotional response to it. If I had just used it exactly as it was, it wouldn’t have been the right emotional response that you would want for the audience. So it was about twisting things in a way to make it fit right."^[3] A specific example of this was during the composition of the track "London Calling." "[Director J. J. Abrams] just wanted it to feel like we weren't in a Star Trek movie," Giacchino said. "It was a very conscious decision to make that base sound different; then, from there, we were able to evolve to our theme for the character. I remember when J. J. heard it, he said, 'Oh, it sounds English. That's perfect!' I'm not exactly sure what that meant, but in his mind it fit perfectly. I was just going for something that felt emotional and questioning as opposed to being so direct that it tells you what's going on."^[4]

The score is notable for featuring orchestration that contains piano, the first Star Trek score to do so since Cliff Eidelman’s score to The Undiscovered Country (1991), as well as a choir singing entirely in the Klingon language (which appears on the track entitled "The Qo'noS Wartet").^[5] The score also contains interpolations of the "Theme from Star Trek", written by Alexander Courage. Two licensed songs are also featured in the film, though not included on the soundtrack album: Beastie Boys' "Body Movin' (Fat Boy Slim Remix)" and Albert King's "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven".

Additional tracks were created by various artists across six different countries as region-specific bonus tracks.^[6] The various songs played in their respected regions during a scene in which Scotty and Keenser are hanging out at a club. While the instrumental for the track is consistent throughout each of the artists' recordings, composed by J. J. Abrams and Charles Scott, each artist paired up with a music producer to write their own lyrics and melody for the song.^[7] The region-specific musicians include Kassia Conway with Anne Preven (United States/Canada), Bo Bruce with Gary Lightbody (United Kingdom), Penelope Austin with Robert Conley (Australia), Kyary Pamyu Pamyu with Yasutaka Nakata (Japan), I.V. (France), Roxana Puente (Mexico) and Céu (Brazil).^[8]
