33 Music plays a central role in daily life across inZOI. Zois can listen to background tracks through stereos and speakers, play instruments to develop the Instrument skill, sing at karaoke venues, busk for tips in public, and dance at parties. The game has a full original soundtrack composed by KRAFTON MUSIC that shifts dynamically between Live Mode and Build Mode.

77 The inZOI: Original Soundtrack (Early Access) was released on March 25, 2025 and contains 28 tracks spanning roughly 1 hour and 23 minutes.

1010 Live Mode features ambient, mood-appropriate background music that changes based on the time of day and your Zoi's current situation. Tracks like "Sundown Streets" and "Moonlight Stroll" play during evening hours, while "Daydreaming" and "Sunlit Tides" accompany daytime activities. Build Mode switches to calming piano compositions and waltz-style pieces such as "Snowflake Waltz" and "Magic Keys."

1818 Stereos and Speakers
1919  
2020 Stereos and speakers are furniture items that let Zois play music inside their homes or at social events. You can purchase them through the Furniture tab in Build Mode. Once placed, click on a stereo to see the available interactions.
2121  
2222 Speaker interactions:
2323  
2424 Listen to Event Music - plays background music from the stereo. Fulfills the "Wants to Turn On Some Event Music" urge.Dance Together - available when music is already playing. Your Zoi and nearby Zois will start dancing together.
2525  
2626 inZOI uses a diegetic sound system for speakers. Sound emanates from the speaker's physical location with a volume sphere around it. The further the camera (or listener) moves from the speaker, the quieter the music becomes. Walls and other objects between the speaker and the listener also reduce the volume. This behavior was improved in the v0.3.0 update, which increased the audible range of speakers so they could be heard from a more reasonable distance.
2727  
2828 Audio Settings
2929  
3030 The "Background Music" slider in the audio settings controls both the ambient game soundtrack and the in-game radio or speaker music. There is no separate slider for diegetic speaker audio. If you want to hear speakers more clearly during gameplay, raising the background music volume is the only option. The game does not currently support adding custom music files to speakers or radio stations, though this is one of the most frequently requested features on the official forums and Steam discussions.
3131  
3232 Listening to Music
3333  
3434 Beyond interacting with a placed stereo, Zois have personal music-listening actions accessible through the Personal Action menu (click on your Zoi):
3535  
3636 ActionRequirementsEffectListen to MusicNoneZoi listens to music. Satisfies Fun need.Enjoy Music AloneRequires Autonomy value (traits like Individualist, Authoritarian, or Explorer). Must be alone.Fulfills the "Wants to Enjoy Music Alone" urge. Satisfies Fun need.
3737 Jukebox and Party Music
3838  
3939 The Jukebox is a dedicated music furniture item available under Social Event furniture for 230 Meow. It functions similarly to a stereo but is designed for parties and gatherings. When planning a social event through the Events app on your Zoi's smartphone, you can set "Enjoy Music" and "Dance" as recommended activities for guests.

4141 Party-related furniture that enhances the music and dance experience includes:

4444 Instrument Skill
4545  
4646 The Instrument skill allows Zois to play music on physical instruments and compose songs digitally. It is available to Teenagers through Elders. Playing instruments is the fastest way to level up this skill early on, while composing on a computer becomes more lucrative at higher levels.
4747  
4848 Available instruments include pianos, guitars, drum sets, and keyboards/synthesizers. Some instruments have age restrictions; for example, guitars may be limited to certain age groups, while drum kits and synthesizers work for a wider range. Instruments are purchased through the Hobby Furniture section of Build Mode.
4949  
5050 Composition Unlocks
5151  
5252 Starting at level 2, Zois can compose music on a computer and sell completed tracks for Meow. Higher skill levels unlock additional genres:
5353  
5454 LevelGenres Unlocked2Folk Song, Jingle4Classical Music, Hip-Hop Beats6Jazz Music, Movie Score
5555 Compositions sell for more Meow as your Instrument skill increases. Reaching level 7 or 8 is recommended before focusing primarily on selling music, as the income per track increases substantially at that point. Playing instruments also brings joy to other household members who hear it.
5656  
5757 Performance Skill and Singing
5858  
5959 The Performance skill covers singing, stand-up comedy, and stage activities. It is available from the Teenager life stage onward. Singing with a microphone (purchased through Build Mode under Hobbies) is the fastest way to increase this skill.
6060  
6161 Other ways to develop the Performance skill include:
6262  
6363 Coin Booth Karaoke - visit the karaoke venue in Dowon for 5 Meow per session. You can sing solo or perform a duet with another Zoi.Idol career tasks - all Idol career tiers include vocal practice as a work task, building Performance skill while on the job.Watching Entertainment Programs on TV - a passive method that slowly builds Performance skill.Browsing humor websites - using a computer to research comedy content increases Performance over time.Reading performing arts books - read from a bookshelf for a low-risk, affordable skill increase.
6464  
6565 Busking
6666  
6767 Zois can perform music or sing in public places for tips. To go busking, head to a crowded public lot such as a park, cafe, or beach, and select the busking interaction. Performing in busier areas attracts more attention and earns more Meow. Zois with the Entertainer trait or the Singing preference are particularly well-suited to busking.
6868  
6969 Max-Level Activities
7070  
7171 At maximum Performance skill level, Zois unlock two special rabbit hole events:
7272  
7373 Comedy club performance - your Zoi travels to a comedy club and performs a set.Singing competition - your Zoi enters a singing competition at a venue.
7474  
7575 Both are booked through the smartphone. The Zoi travels by taxi and disappears temporarily while the event plays out. These events are still being developed during Early Access and may not provide full rewards yet.
7676  
7777 Dancing
7878  
7979 Dancing is a social activity closely tied to music. To initiate dancing, place a speaker or jukebox in your home or at an event venue, start playing music, then click the speaker again and select Dance Together. Your Zoi will begin dancing, and nearby Zois may join in. Adding a Dance Floor furniture piece enhances the experience and may expand the variety of dance moves available.
8080  
8181 During social events, you can set dancing as a recommended activity through the Events app. This encourages guests to prioritize the dance floor. Dancing satisfies the Fun need and can contribute to positive emotions like the Amused state.
8282  
8383 Music and Emotions
8484  
8585 Listening to music, watching entertainment programs, and playing games can trigger the Amused emotion, which has practical benefits: it quickly improves the Performance skill. Meanwhile, the Annoyed emotion hinders progress in the Instrument skill, so keeping your Zoi in a positive mood while practicing music is important for efficient leveling.
8686  
8787 Music also satisfies the Fun need, making it a reliable way to keep Zois happy without leaving the house. Stereo music can benefit multiple Zois in the same room simultaneously, as long as they are within the speaker's audible range.
