Prime Video's Good Boy has a mix of proportionate amounts of tension, redemption, and character-driven drama, but it is the soundtrack that quietly keeps each episode together. Right from the pilot episode, Good Boy sticks with a very small roster of tracks to underscore both its action-fueled sequences and introspective moments. Unlike many of the K-dramas that depend on orchestral scores or showy pop ballads, Good Boy keeps its musical selections tight and limited, featuring a few recurring artists.
The soundtrack of Good Boy isn't filler; it's a part of the narrative. With a limited playlist of songs recycling throughout many episodes, the soundtrack allows for a sense of consistency in terms of tone. It's primarily composed of new-age Korean and crossover acts like MAX, Young K, DITØ MØRE, George, and TWS, several of whom have their tracks appear in more than five different episodes.
Here is a complete list of the music in Prime Video's latest K-drama, Good Boy
According to WhatSong, songs featured in Good Boy
"Money In The Bag" – DITØ MØR
Episodes featured: 1, 2, 3, 4
This tune comes throughout the early episodes, adding a fast, percussive rush to several of the primary sequences. It's among the theme tunes of Good Boy, adding tension and forceful energy to scenes.
"GET IN THE RING" – MAX
Episodes featured: 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 13, 14
Another most recurring song, "GET IN THE RING" by MAX, is utilized most frequently in Good Boy. It's typically played during confrontation scenes or those focusing on determination and internal conflicts.
"Love will find a way – Instrumental" – Young K
Episode featured: 2
It's the instrumental rendition played during a quiet, reflective scene. It adds depth in emotions but not over the visuals, giving space for breathing room for the story.
"Love will find a way" – Young K
Featured episodes: 7, 11
Young K's singing version of the same song brings a gentle feeling to later episodes. With calming piano and gentle vocals, it's used in character-building scenes where weakness is expressed.
"All Alone" – George
Episode featured: 7, 10
This theme is played at pivotal moments of self-reflection. Its relaxing environment and lyrical depth fit the psychological mood of the middle episodes of Good Boy.
"Brand New Day" – TWS
Episode featured: 8
"Brand New Day" raises the mood slightly, heard during a moment of resolution and optimism. It's one of the only positive songs shown in Good Boy, and it helps shift the emotional rhythm of the episode.
Episodes without officially listed songs
According to WhatSong, several episodes of Good Boy, specifically Episodes 5, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 16, currently lack official soundtrack entries. They may incorporate more original background scores or ambient tracks that have not been officially issued as part of the listed TV soundtrack.
This approach is not uncommon in Korean dramas that alternate between vocal tracks and non-commercial instrumental scores commissioned for scenes. Good Boy does this, keeping its approved soundtrack decisions brief while filling the remainder with scoring tailored to the scene.
Soundtrack patterns in Good Boy
The restraint and repetition of the Good Boy soundtrack are its standout features. Rather than using new tracks in every episode, it uses the same core tracks in multiple scenes and storylines. This is what makes the audience feel familiar and helps build recurring emotional motifs.
Recurring tracks: "Money In The Bag" and "GET IN THE RING" are both used in more than four episodes.
Emotional balance: Young K and George tracks reduce the emotional level in calmer scenes, providing contrast to the intense fight or training scenes.
Small artist roster: There are only six unique tracks listed for the whole show in sixteen episodes.
This minimalist style also suits Good Boy's narrative style, realistic, concise, and character-based tension instead of stylistic flair.
Where to find the Good Boy soundtrack
The best and most up-to-date list of music performed by Good Boy is found on WhatSong. Each song is tagged by episode, and often includes information regarding the scene where it is featured. This is at present the sole confirmed location for official music listings in the show.
Whenever additional episodes are aired or additional songs are released by the producers, WhatSong typically updates its records to reflect any change.
The Good Boy soundtrack doesn't aim for variety; it aims for coherence. It's a concise list of songs repeated intentionally to generate atmosphere, emotional continuity, and psychological depth. No sweeping gestures of global playlisting here; instead, it's a carefully selected musical landscape appropriate to the show's sharp direction and narrative tempo.
There are currently only six officially listed songs that make up a good portion of Good Boy's soundtrack. With such a limited selection, each one feels intentional. These songs are emotional markers to those of us who have been following the show, gentle reminders of where the characters have been and where they're going next.
