This album, along with the film, was dedicated in memory of James Horner, the film's composer, who was killed in a plane crash on June 22, 2015, making this the last film score he composed in his lifetime.[2] "Cry For Love" also appears on the film's score album in longer form.

The album debuted at number 5 on the US Billboard 200 and number 2 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, selling 45,000 copies in the first week, including streams (32,000 pure album sales).[3] In its second week, the album sold 15,500 more copies (including streams) for a total 60,500 copies sold in the United States. In the third week, the album fell to number 41, selling over 8,800 copies (including streams) for a total 69,000 copies.[4] As of Jan 2017, the album has sold 91,000.[5]
