Bay, film composer Steve Jablonsky and Paramount Pictures collaborated with IMAGINE DRAGONS to feature the band's original music in "TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION." Following an early footage screening of the film, IMAGINE DRAGONS wrote the original song "BATTLE CRY," which Bay used in critical points in the film.

The collaboration resulted in added depth to the sound of the film.
