Titane stars Agathe Rousselle as a serial killer named Alexia. She leaves her old life behind and assumes the identity of a missing boy. Alexia/Adrien misleads a psychologically damaged man (Vincent Lindon as Vincent), all the while trying to hide the fact that she’s not a actually a male, but rather a very pregnant woman with a titanium plate in her head. The film includes original music by composer Jim Williams (Possessor) and a selection of rock music productions, courtesy of music supervisor Guillaume Baurez (Raw). Here’s a breakdown of every featured song in Titane.

Titane Soundtrack: Every Song in the 2021 Movie
- “Wayfaring Stranger” by 16 Horsepower (00:00:00): The Titane soundtrack song scores the opening sequence. A pan shot explores the inner workings of a vehicle. The song fades as a humming sound takes over, and then picks up again as Young Alexia sits in the backseat of her father’s vehicle.
- “Doing It to Death” by The Kills (00:05:00): Alexia enters a night club in the present timeline. A pan shot captures various dancing women alongside cars. Alexia applies lipstick and performs on top of a Cadillac.
- “Nessuno Mi Può Guidicare” by Caterina Caselli (00:26:00): Alexia attacks a man named Romain, shortly after stabbing Justine (Garance Marillier). The music briefly drowns out when Rousselle’s character shoves a chair leg into the man’s mouth. “Nessuno Mi Può Guidicare” picks up again and then suddenly drops. It’s a moment that’s reminiscent of 90s Quentin Tarantino films.
- “She’s Not There” by The Zombies (00:53:00): The Titane soundtrack song plays as Alexia/Adrien attempts to leave Vincent’s home. In a slight twist, the characters end up dancing together. Vincent accepts Alexia/Adrien while playing rough like an old school father.
- “Macarena” by Los del Río (01:06:00): Vincent sings the song during an intubation procedure. Adrien nods along while providing assistance. Vincent keeps singing while managing the situation.
- “Light House” by Future Islands (01:08:00): The Titane soundtrack song plays during a neon-lit club sequence. Jeantet (Mara Cisse) enjoys himself while dancing.
- “Wayfaring Stranger” by Lisa Abbott (01:30:00): Alexia/Adrien stands above a firefighter crowd. The character dances and enjoys the moment.
- “St. Matthew Passion BWV / Part One No. 1 Chorus I/II: “Kommt, Ihr Tochter, Helft Mir Klagen” by Johann Sebastian Bach (01:36:00): Alexia/Adrien experiences an intimate and awkward encounter with Vincent. The music intensifies during a birth sequence and closes out the film as Vincent embraces a new responsibility.
