The complete episode guide below lists the supplied season 1 and season 2 songs, performers, approximate times, scenes, and the separate score-album tracks.
The Fallout TV series uses two distinct kinds of music: carefully chosen mid-century recordings that play in the world of the story, and Ramin Djawadi’s original score. The episode guide below covers both, with approximate timestamps for every supplied season 1 and season 2 placement.
Important: this is a guide to the Amazon Prime Video television series, not the separate soundtracks from the Fallout video games. Times are identification aids rather than frame-accurate measurements. They can shift depending on region, platform, recap, title-card behavior, edits, and whether the player counts credits.
How the Fallout soundtrack works
The show’s licensed music is built largely around recordings from the 1950s and early 1960s. That bright, familiar sound creates the retro-futurist contrast at the heart of Fallout: cheerful pop, country, jazz, and big-band music continues after civilization has collapsed.

Djawadi’s original score performs a different job. It supplies recurring character, vault, Brotherhood of Steel, Ghoul, and wasteland themes, often under dramatic scenes where viewers may remember the mood but not a recognizable song. A cue such as Brotherhood of Steel or The Ghoul will not necessarily appear in a search for “songs from Fallout” alongside the licensed recordings.
Specialist season-one episode guides report 67 song entries overall, with scene descriptions for 55 entries. Counting conventions vary: some lists include repeated songs, end-credit music, instrumental recordings, and score cues while others do not. The breakdown below follows the available episode listings and identifies the music by episode, performer, approximate position, and scene.

Season 1 original score album
The season-one score is a separate release from the licensed songs above. Ramin Djawadi’s 21-track Fallout: Season 1 (Prime Video Original Series Soundtrack) was released on April 8, 2024. It includes these cues:
- Brotherhood of Steel (Full Version)
- The Ghoul
- Ice Cream and Apple Pie
- Vault 33
- Artifact
- Shady Sands
- Feo Fuerte y Formal
- Rebuild Together
- Surface Dweller Tradition
- Golden Rule
- Are You Compromised?
- I Hate It Up Here
- Bringing Order to the Wasteland
- Management
- Vault-Tec
- Think About the Future
- All the Answers
- Run for the Hills
- War Never Changes
- Do the Right Thing
- T-60
That album is best understood as a curated score release, not a complete soundtrack of every recording heard in season 1. For a physical edition, a Fallout soundtrack vinyl release is the most direct match for this series, but check the exact season-one pressing, seller, region, and current stock before ordering.

These are score cues, not a replacement for the episode-by-episode licensed-music list. If you want Djawadi’s music specifically, look for the Ramin Djawadi Fallout score or the official Fallout original-series soundtrack release, checking whether the listing is for season 1 or season 2 and whether it is a CD, digital album, or physical edition.
Which songs are most strongly associated with the show?
Several placements have become especially recognizable because the music’s optimism clashes so sharply with the wasteland:
- “Crawl Out Through the Fallout” — Sheldon Allman: the season-one premiere’s end-credit choice turns the title itself into a compact statement of the series’ premise.
- “I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire” — The Ink Spots: heard over episode 2’s credits, it connects the series to one of the most familiar pieces of music in the wider Fallout musical tradition.
- “Some Enchanted Evening” — The Castells: its return during the premiere’s violence makes the song’s romantic phrasing deliberately unsettling.
- “So Doggone Lonesome” — Johnny Cash with The Tennessee Two: the repeated season-one appearance ties Cash’s plainspoken country sound to Maximus’s physical training and combat.
- “I’m Tickled Pink” — Jack Shaindlin: its repetition in episodes 6 and 7 gives a jaunty, almost absurd edge to scenes involving Lucy and Maximus.
- “Big Iron” — Marty Robbins: its season-two placement extends the show’s fascination with Western imagery and old recordings that sound cheerful, theatrical, or heroic against a ruined landscape.
Why a song may be difficult to find
- You may be looking for a score cue. Brotherhood, Ghoul, vault, and transitional moments frequently use Djawadi’s instrumental music. Search the cue title and “Ramin Djawadi,” not only “Fallout songs.”
- The official album may not contain the recording. The season-one score album has 21 cues, while the episode guide includes many additional licensed recordings. The season-two score album likewise should be treated as a companion score release, not a complete list of every song in the episodes.
- Search the exact title and performer together. Use a query such as “Big Iron” Marty Robbins Fallout season 2 or “Some Enchanted Evening” The Castells Fallout episode 1. This helps separate the show’s version from similarly titled recordings.
- Check the scene, not just the timestamp. A song can begin before a cut and continue into the next scene. Opening songs, title-card placements, recaps, and credits are also counted differently by different guides.
- Allow for transcription differences. Specialist soundtrack listings can vary in capitalization, punctuation, and occasional title spelling. Searching the artist, a distinctive phrase from the title, and the episode name is often more reliable than copying one database entry exactly.
Quick reference: score or licensed song?
| If you remember this… | Start by searching… |
|---|---|
| A recognizable vocal performance, old radio song, or end-credit recording | The song title plus the recording artist and episode. |
| A dramatic Brotherhood of Steel, Ghoul, vault, or faction sequence | “Fallout Ramin Djawadi score” plus the cue title, if known. |
| The premiere’s Brotherhood end credits | “Golden Rule” or “Brotherhood of Steel (Full Version)” by Ramin Djawadi. |
| The season-two episode-one closing music | “Surface Dweller Tradition” by Ramin Djawadi. |
| The season-two episode-three dramatic score placement | “The Ghoul” by Ramin Djawadi. |
Official score releases at a glance
| Release | Composer | Tracks | Release date | What it contains |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fallout: Season 1 | Ramin Djawadi | 21 | April 8, 2024 | Original score cues, including “The Ghoul,” “Vault 33,” “Shady Sands,” “Golden Rule,” and “Brotherhood of Steel (Full Version).” |
| Fallout: Season 2 | Ramin Djawadi | 28 | December 16, 2025 | Original score cues; the listed album running time is 1 hour and 18 minutes. |
Neither release should be mistaken for a complete compilation of every licensed recording heard in the series. The episode tables are the better reference when you are trying to identify a song from a particular scene.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the official Fallout soundtrack album include every song from the show?
No. The show’s episode music includes many licensed recordings that are not on the official score albums. Season 1 has a 21-track Djawadi score release, and season 2 has a 28-track score release, but those albums are companion score collections rather than complete lists of every song heard in the episodes.
What song plays in the first Fallout episode?
The season-one premiere closes with “Crawl Out Through the Fallout” by Sheldon Allman. The episode also opens with Nat King Cole’s “Orange Colored Sky.”

What Ink Spots song plays in Fallout episode 2?
“I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire” by The Ink Spots plays over the end credits of season 1, episode 2, “The Target.”
How do I identify a Fallout song when the timestamp does not match?
Search the exact title with the artist, episode title, and “Fallout.” If the music is instrumental or associated with the Brotherhood, the Ghoul, or a vault, search Ramin Djawadi’s score cues instead. Timestamps can vary by several seconds depending on the platform and whether the recap or credits are counted.
The Bottom Line
Bottom line: For a song heard in a scene, start with the episode tables and use the approximate time only as a guide. For instrumental music—especially Brotherhood of Steel, Ghoul, and vault sequences—check Djawadi’s separate season-one or season-two score album.
