WARNING: Spoilers for Moon Knight episode 1.

Moon Knight's soundtrack has already shown that it's not going to be subtle in terms of portraying what the character is going through. After months of anticipation, Moon Knight episode 1 finally saw the eponymous character make his live-action debut. The new MCU show on Disney+ will have a total of 6 episodes and promises to stand out from other productions in the universe both in terms of format and story.

Moon Knight episode 1 indicates that the show will have overall pacing and tone quite different from other solo hero stories in the MCU, which includes how the soundtrack interacts with the story. As Oscar Isaac had suggested, Moon Knight is shaping up to be a character study, more focused on getting Moon Knight right than on placing the hero in a broader universe. That considered, it's safe to say that Moon Knight will have implications for MCU’s Phase 4 and beyond.

In addition to the original score composed by Hesham Nazih, Moon Knight episode 1 featured five songs that audiences may have recognized. Each of these was heard at key moments in the episode and helped to represent what the character was feeling. While some people might say that the song choices were too on the nose, it could very well be that the self-aware approach to the soundtrack was precisely what Moon Knight was going for.

Every Song In Moon Knight Episode 1, "The Goldfish Problem"

“Every Grain of Sand” by Bob Dylan – The first song heard in Moon Knight episode 1, played right when the episode starts. It is to this song that Moon Knight shows Arthur, the villain of the show, beginning to prepare for his walk. While much mystery still surrounds the Moon Knight villain, the lyrics of Bob Dylan's song seem to be most fit for the character.

“A Man Without Love” by Engelbert Humperdinck – It’s the song that plays as soon as the Marvel opening sequence starts. The music then continues to play as audiences follow the first hours of Steven Grant's day, and it helps set the tone of how lonely the character's life is.

“Arab Trap: Made in Egypt” by DJ KABOO – This electronic song plays briefly when Steven Grant is letting the museum at the end of his shift.

“Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by Wham! – It's the song that plays during the chase scene towards the half of the episode. As suggested by the song, Steven Grant and Marc Spector have to keep waking up before an accident, or something worse happens.

“Bahlam Maak” by Nagat This song plays while Steven is at the restaurant waiting for his date. The melancholy song about living with a secret continues to play at low volume until the end of the scene and is the last song outside of the original soundtrack heard in Moon Knight episode 1.
