"Computerized" eventually leaked online (without context) in 2014. When Daft Punk presented "Computerized" to Lieb, he ultimately decided not to use it because he felt the filmmakers would find it “too rooted in real life and rap for their fantasy movie.” However, the backing track of the song was used in the film's credits. The duo collaborated with rapper Jay-Z, resulting in the song "Computerized", in which Jay raps about how technology is making his relationship with a woman less and less personal.

A "special presentation" trailer featuring Daft Punk and their track " Derezzed" was released online on October 26, 2010. The first theatrical trailer for TRON: Legacy featured the track "The Game Has Changed". "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 will not be erased by the new one. Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo also stated that the original TRON film was a strong influence on him as a child. Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk had previously produced the Irréversible soundtrack and served as sound effects director for the film Enter the Void.Ĭommenting on the TRON: Legacy score, Bangalter noted 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.” Daft Punk cited Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, John Carpenter, Vangelis and Maurice Jarre as inspiration for the soundtrack.

Daft Punk's score was arranged and orchestrated by Joseph Trapanese. Kosinski referred to the score as being a mixture of orchestral and electronic elements. When asked why he wished to work with the duo, Kosinski replied, "How could you not at least go to those guys?" The score features an 85-piece orchestra, recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in London. TRON: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski and music supervisor Jason Bentley approached Daft Punk and requested that the duo compose the film score.
