With a runtime of just over 30 minutes, the soundtrack is a concise yet powerful collection of 20 tracks that blend seamlessly with the film's dramatic and legal themes. Danna's composition style, characterized by its depth and subtlety, perfectly complements the film's exploration of gender equality and the legal battles that shaped Ruth Bader Ginsburg's legacy. Tracks like "Mrs. Ginsburg" and "Thank You, Mr. Green" offer a glimpse into the personal and professional challenges faced by the iconic figure, while pieces such as "Topple the System" and "We'll See You in Court" underscore the film's legal and social commentary.
