Sofia Coppola wanted the film's soundtrack to convey the feeling of adolescence in the suburbs, a theme to be reflected in the songs chosen from the time the film is set: 1975. Not wanting to rely only on hits from the early 1970s, she opted to combine songs of the period with a "consistently other-worldly soundtrack" in the score by Air, a band she had listened to while writing the screenplay.

Brian Reitzell, the film's music consultant (and a former member of Redd Kross), said he wanted to select songs "that were not the songs that everyone thinks of at first, but ones that are a little more obscure. It was important to strike that intimate chord that transports you back to that period. But we also didn't want to be obvious with our choices."
