By late-2012, Powell had begun writing music for the film and took eighteen months to complete. Powell described the project "a maturation story" and stated that he too tried to achieve the same maturation in the structure of his music by developing further every aspect of his compositions from the original film. It featured previously unedited cues and demos from the compositions. A limited edition soundtrack was published by Varèse Sarabande label in May 2022. Much like the score of the first instalment, this score received critical acclaim praising Powell for his work in the film. In addition to the original score featured, Powell also collaborated with Jónsi, to write two songs for the film, which were performed by Jónsi, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson and Mary Jane Wells, while a song " Into a Fantasy" performed by Alexander Rybak was released on June 9, and was included in the European version of the soundtrack.
The score is composed by John Powell, who also scored for its predecessor.
The film is a sequel to the 2010 film How to Train Your Dragon, which itself based on the British book series of the same name by Cressida Cowell, and is the second instalment in the How to Train Your Dragon film series. How to Train Your Dragon 2: Music from the Motion Picture is a soundtrack album to the 2014 film How to Train Your Dragon 2, and was released by Relativity Music Group on June 13, 2014.
