Cobra Kai season 6 part 1 soundtrack: Every song featured
Some high-energy tracks to study and karate to - enjoy!
Netflix's Cobra Kai is back on our screens for the first part of its final season, which once again packs a soundtrack as badass as the karate stunts in the hit comedy-drama.
This time, the students of Miyagi-Do are all vying for a place at the Sekai Taikai tournament – which brings together the best fighters from around the world – but little do they know that an old foe is quietly plotting in the background.
Miguel (Xolo Maridueña), Robby (Tanner Buchanan), Samantha (Mary Mouser) and Tory (Peyton List) are centre stage, but there's plenty of time for Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), who is discovering some surprising things about his late mentor Mr Miyagi.
As usual, music is used to heighten the drama in Cobra Kai season 6 part 1 – if the soundtrack has had you tapping your foot, then read on for a guide to all the songs featured.
Cobra Kai original score: Who are the composers of the Netflix series?
In addition to recognisable licensed tracks, Cobra Kai also boasts a catchy original score, including a recurring theme that really heightens the heroism of our characters during their pursuit of karate glory.
The composers on the series are Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson, two musicians who frequently work together, with shared credits on the likes of Twisted Metal, Obliterated (from the Cobra Kai creators) and Kevin Hart's Die Hart films.
Solo credits for Birenberg also include animation Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, Netflix drama Florida Man and US comedy Bottoms, while Robinson worked on Netflix sports documentary America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
You can listen to the Cobra Kai season 6 part 1 original score on Spotify.
