The soundtrack to the 2018 American drama film The Hate U Give, based on the 2017 young adult novel by Angie Thomas, consists of a soundtrack album featuring songs by various artists and an original score composed by Dustin O'Halloran. The soundtrack album, The Hate U Give, was released by Def Jam Recordings on October 12, 2018, one week after the film's limited theatrical release. It features several R&B and hip hop songs from various artists, including Tupac Shakur, Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, Logic, Jadakiss, Travis Scott, Billie Eilish, 21 Savage, Offset, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Keith Young, and the film's lead actress Amandla Stenberg. Also included are two original songs: the title track, performed by the soundtrack's executive producer Bobby Sessions, and "We Won't Move" by Arlissa. Sessions' contribution to the soundtrack came from his personal experience, following the death of his cousin in a shootout in 2012. With the film following the same theme, he wanted the music and score "to motivate the audience to speak up against injustice". The title track served as the lead single for the album, releasing a week earlier on the day of the film's premiere.
