Fans were excited to see the full track list for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2 release online earlier this week, but it may surprise some fans to learn that director James Gunn's favorite song in the film isn't actually on Awesome Mix Vol. 2.
Awesome Mix Vol. 2 features all of the licensed music used in the movie. Considering how incredibly well Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 sold, it can be unfortunately easy to forget that there's also an original score to the Guardians of the Galaxy films.
It is from the original score for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, composed by Tyler Bates, that Gunn chose his favorite song. The song is simply titled "Dad," suggesting it is used in moments involving Peter Quill and his father, Ego.
