===Origin===
===Origin===
This theme is an arrangement of a song from ''Persona 5''. It originally played when exploring Tokyo, the main setting of the game, at night; an instrumental version plays during the day. The original song has a laidback, bluesy style that primarily focuses on bass, {{iw|wikipedia|wah-wah|music}} guitar, and rhodes piano. For the ''Ultimate'' remix, the song's tempo is significantly increased while keeping the same instrumentation; a string section is also added, giving it a more lively and energetic tone overall to match the upbeat ''Persona 5'' soundtrack. The vocals are performed by the original singer, Lyn Inaizumi.

This song is taken directly from ''Persona 5'', where it plays during certain late-game boss fights, namely against Shido, the Holy Grail, and the New Game+ fight against Caroline and Justine. The second full verse is omitted from the ''Ultimate'' version of the song  - it is unclear if this is for censorship purposes, as the second verse contains the lyric "hell", or simply to cut down on the length, as the full version would be among the longest songs in the game. Interestingly, ''Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight'' edited the song in the same way.

An arrangement of the theme of the same name from ''Persona 4''. This particular remix keeps the guitar-focused approach of the boss battle version of the song, but uses the piano instrumentation and overall structure from the "Acceptance" version of the theme, which plays at various points in the game (most often when a character accepts their Shadow Self). An instrumental version of the beginning of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0YvJdl-rCI ''Never More''] plays at the start.

*Although not present in the actual game, the instrumental arrangement of ''Life Will Change'' and the track ''The Spirit'' play during Joker's initial reveal trailer.
**This makes Joker's initial reveal trailer one of two trailers pertaining to newcomers to not feature any music found in-game, with the other being {{SSBU|Hero}}'s reveal trailer.
*Interestingly, unlike other series, the ''Persona'' tracks are listed in reverse chronological order (with the exception of ''Time to Make History'', which is placed between ''Persona 4'' and ''Persona 3'').
*Interestingly, unlike other series, the ''Persona'' tracks are listed in reverse chronological order (with the exception of ''Time to Make History'', which is placed between ''Persona 4'' and ''Persona 3'').
*Much like [[Cloud]] and [[Sephiroth]], [[Joker]] has a special [[victory theme]] that overrides the standard results theme, taken directly from ''Persona 5''. When a song from ''Persona 3'' or ''Persona 4'' is played on Mementos, the victory theme from the corresponding game is played if Joker wins.

*Hidden in the data files of the game are the original versions of ''Beneath the Mask'' and ''Aria of the Soul'', which go unused in favor of their remixed versions, most likely due to their unfitting nature as background music for a fast-paced fighting game. They were most likely meant to be placeholders.
