end credits music

Film's farewell soundtrack

End credits music is the music that plays as a film or television show's closing credits roll.

It may reprise themes from the score, feature a specially commissioned song, or set a final emotional tone as viewers process what they've watched.

A memorable end credits track can become closely associated with the work itself: I always sit through the end credits music.
