Music can alter the entire moral architecture of a scene. In post-production, the creative team auditioned multiple orchestral cues before making the deliberate decision to lean into contemporary alternative-pop grit. They licensed an evocative, bass-heavy track by rising singer-songwriter Jessie Murph, contrasting the opulent visual palette of the luxury hotel with raw, gravelly vocal delivery.
Murph herself was entirely unprepared for how prominent her vocals would be within the finished film. In early January 2026, the musician took to social media to share her live reaction upon viewing the hotel sequence. She expressed genuine disbelief, telling fans she had known the song was licensed for the thriller but had no inkling it would soundtrack the most talked-about, R-rated encounter in the film.
The synergy between Murph’s brooding lyrics and the actors' physical performance paid immediate commercial dividends. Within 48 hours of the film’s opening weekend, streaming numbers for the track jumped by over 180% across major digital audio platforms, with user-generated edits pairing the audio with clips from the trailer dominating TikTok and Instagram Reels.
