The music for the 2024 NBA Finals party commercial comes from an unexpected place

If you’ve been loving the 2024 NBA Finals commercial with “The Toast” to the championship series, its jazzy music comes from an unexpected place.

The music for the commercial actually comes from the 2022 film Babylon, starring Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie.

Oscar-winning composer Justin Hurwitz earned an Academy Award nomination for his work on the film, with the 2024 NBA Finals ad using the “Voodoo Mama” track specifically for its party atmosphere.

If you’ve seen Babylon, you know this music was made for a fantastic celebration, which is exactly what you want to feel ahead of Thursday’s start to the 2024 NBA Finals.

You can see the commercial and the individual track from Babylon below.

We can’t wait to see who hoists the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy this month between the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks.

At the very least, we’re going to have a wonderful soundtrack for the upcoming NBA Finals.
