Karate Kid movies are best known for their action and life lessons, it's become more common for them to include a good deal of music for audiences to listen to. 2010's The Karate Kid went all-in on having big songs present, and Cobra Kai also included its fair share of music throughout its six seasons.

As you watch Karate Kid: Legends in theaters or on streaming, the movie is consistent in giving viewers new songs. Some play in the background of conversations or are used to help set the mood for the New York setting. Others are used to help bring more energy to some of Karate Kid: Legends' fight scenes. In any case, artists like Nas, Alex Warren, and Benson Boone are featured. The soundtrack also features covers of songs by the Backstreet Boys and 2Pac, adding more recognizable tunes.
