Joker: Folie à Deux (soundtrack): History and Key Facts

Joker: Folie à Deux (Music from the Motion Picture) is the soundtrack album to the 2024 musical film Joker: Folie à Deux, primarily performed by Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, who portray Arthur Fleck (the Joker) and Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn), respectively. Released on October 4, 2024, through Interscope Records, the album consists mainly of cover versions of popular songs and standards, performed as solos and duets, alongside "Folie à Deux", an original composition written by Gaga. Australian musician Nick Cave performs the opening medley. Phoenix and Gaga recorded much of their singing live during filming, with musical arrangements subsequently developed around their performances. A week before the soundtrack's release, Gaga issued Harlequin (2024), a separate companion album featuring alternative interpretations of several songs from the film. Joker: Folie à Deux topped the UK Soundtrack Albums Chart and reached number six on the US Billboard Soundtrack Albums chart.
