The original score for the film was composed by John Debney.[7] Debney used Hawaiian steel guitars, bassoons and orchestral music, to produce familiar as well different sounds that would expand the 1980s synthesized music.[8] On February 16, 2015, Debney announced via Twitter that Varèse Sarabande would release his score digitally.[9] The score released in the UK on March 2, 2015, and on the following day in the US, along with a physical release on March 24, 2015.
James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "Given how bitty it is and that many of the cues consist of a number of shorter ones pasted together, it’s impressive that it stands up as a listening experience as well as it does – and testament to the composer’s skill at crafting decent music for just about any kind of film."[10]Filmtracks.com wrote " there are many things to admire about Debney's continued mastery of the children's genre in The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, but this kind of music will test your tolerance for the genre after twenty minutes."[11]
