The score of ''Tron: Legacy'' features an 85-piece orchestra, recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in London.<ref name="TronDisneyStudio">{{cite web|url=http://www.waltdisneystudiosawards.com/tronlegacy/music.php |title=Disney Awards 2010: Tron Legacy |publisher=[[The Walt Disney Company]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101104035555/http://www.waltdisneystudiosawards.com/tronlegacy/music.php |archive-date=November 4, 2010 |access-date=June 16, 2013 |url-status=unfit }}</ref> Kosinski stated that the score is intended to be a mixture of orchestral and electronic music.

The band collaborated with him for two years on the score, from pre-production to completion. The orchestra was conducted by [[Gavin Greenaway]]. Trapanese cited the collaboration between the different genres to work out well in the end, stating: <blockquote>It seems complicated at the end of the day, but it’s actually quite simple. I was locked in a room with robots for almost two years and it was simply a lot of hard work. We were just together working throughout the whole process and there was never a point where the orchestra was not in their minds and the electronics were not in my mind. It was a continual translation between the two worlds and hopefully we put something together that will be something different because of that.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.kcrw.com/music/programs/mb/mb101129tron_legacy_soundtra|title=Tron: Legacy Soundtrack Preview|last=Bentley|first=Jason|date=November 29, 2010|publisher=[[KCRW]]|access-date=December 7, 2010}}</ref></blockquote>
During an interview regarding the ''Tron: Legacy'' score, [[Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo]] commented that "We knew from the start that there was no way we were going to do this film score with two synthesizers and a drum machine."<ref name="holly" /> Daft Punk cited [[Wendy Carlos]], the composer of the original ''[[Tron]]'' film, as inspiration for the soundtrack as well as [[Max Steiner]], [[Bernard Herrmann]], [[John Carpenter]], [[Vangelis]], [[Philip Glass]], and [[Maurice Jarre]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/12/daft-punks-legacy-act.html |title=Daft Punk's 'Legacy' act |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=December 6, 2010 |access-date=December 9, 2010}}</ref><ref name="Factmag">{{cite web|url=http://www.factmag.com/2010/11/18/daft-punk-tell-all-about-tron-legacy/|title=Daft Punk tell all about Tron: Legacy|publisher=FactMag.com|date=November 18, 2010|access-date=June 16, 2013}}</ref> De Homem-Christo also stated that ''Tron'' was a strong influence on him as a child. "Maybe I only saw it two or three times in my entire life, but the feel of it is strong even now, that I think the imprint of the first [film] will not be erased by the new one. It has a real visionary quality to it."<ref name="Factmag" /> Bangalter recalled that he had composed heroic themes for the protagonists, while de Homem-Christo had written the darker musical cues.<ref name="Telerama">{{cite web|last=Perron|first=Erwan, and Gancel, Alice|title=Daft Punk, interview-fleuve pour la sortie de ''Random Access Memories''|language=fr|url=http://www.telerama.fr/musique/daft-punk-l-interview-fleuve,97155.php|work=[[Telerama]]|publisher=PopMatters.com, Telerama.fr|date=April 7, 2013|access-date=April 7, 2013}}</ref> De Homem-Christo concluded that ''Tron: Legacy'' "was cut to the music.

The song "Computerized" featuring [[Jay-Z]] surfaced online years after the film was released. It tells a cautionary tale about relying too much on technology, with robotic voice singing "''Everyone will be computerized''" in the chorus. Jay-Z takes on the role of a [[Luddite]] in the lyrics, complaining about holding conversations over text messages and having a "''broken heart on the email''" and "''an iTouch but I can't feel''". Later, he raps: "''Somebody tell me what's real / I don't know how I feel''."<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/daft-punk-jay-z-team-up-for-previously-unreleased-computerized-204739/ |title=Daft Punk–Jay Z Collab Surfaces|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=2017-11-05}}</ref> "Computerized" was originally intended to be a single to appear in and promote ''Tron: Legacy'', but was discarded after concerns of the lyrical content being too grounded to fit the film. The instrumental was instead used in the film score.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://ohmy.disney.com/insider/2016/09/09/computerized-daft-punk/ |title=Computerized: The Never-Before-Told Story of How Disney Got Daft Punk For TRON: Legacy |website=Oh My Disney |publisher=Disney Company |access-date=March 1, 2023 |date=September 6, 2016 |first1=Drew |last1=Taylor |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161122075000/https://ohmy.disney.com/insider/2016/09/09/computerized-daft-punk/ |archive-date=November 22, 2016}}</ref>{{explain|date=March 2023}}
