score
'der Soundtrack' and 'der Score' can both refer to music for a film or game. 'der Soundtrack' is usually all the music, including songs that appear in the film, and often also the released album. 'der Score' refers more specifically to the specially composed film music, often without well-known songs. Learners may confuse the words because both come from English. The important point is: for the whole selection of music, you are more likely to say 'Soundtrack'; for the composed background music, 'Score' fits better.
Der Soundtrack des Films läuft bei mir oft beim Lernen.

Der Score macht die spannenden Szenen noch intensiver.
