However, there is a door open for an original song (or two) to be added to the final version. Details regarding who would pen the tracks, or sing the numbers are unknown.
Will Lady Gaga sing an original song in Joker: Folie à Deux?
An original song is defined as a song which did not exist before this movie. The song must be sung by Gaga, at least partially, in the feature runtime of the film (including opening credits, ending credits, and any after credit scenes). Shallow would’ve counted for A Star Is Born.
You can also bet on which existing songs will be featured in the film in Panfilo’s market:

@traders ive seen the movie now, and Folie à Deux is listed in the credits, with Gaga as performer and sole writer. I’m going to wait for the soundtrack to confirm that it’s sung (not just played on the piano), there’s a lot of songs I can’t say 100% confidently it's sung in the movie.
Lady Gaga Releasing New Album Harlequinon Friday
In addition, some of the Harlequin song titles—such as “Oh, When the Saints,” “World on a String,” “If My Friends Could See Me Now,” and “That’s Life”—indicate that it could be a sort of covers album.
Joker: Folie à Deux, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, hits theaters on October 4. Lady Gaga will release anotheralbum that day, too: Joker: Folie à Deux (Music From the Motion Picture).
As a reminder, the original song needs to be in the movie’s runtime to count
@mattyb fwiw, not super confident on this (as i haven't tried to look into it too thoroughly), but while lady gaga is definitely a credited writer on an original song in the movie, from what i can tell, it may just be instrumental without lyrics (& the description is pretty specific that she has to "sing" the song in the movie). so that's the reason for my NO bet, although given that the movie has played for critics at festivals i'm sure someone could reach out and confirm it properly at this point if they bothered.
@Ziddletwix yea, or anyone with a prerelease ticket in an earlier time zone (I’m in PT for non-Ziddle folk) would have alpha over me. I’m not too worried about my advantages here
@Ziddletwix there is a new song on the album called Folie à Deux in which Gaga does sing and is the original writer! As long as this song is in the movie, this will Resolve YES
@mattyb far from confident here (even though presumably the answer is known with enough searching) but i like those odds still. harlequin looks more like a companion album, & i don't see people mentioning folie a deux/happy mistake (iiuc the other original one on the album) for original song discussion. very possible there's an original song sung during the credits or smth that hasn't been mentioned but don't think it's a lock.
@Ziddletwix hmmmm it's definitely possible that "harley & joker waltz" (which is def in the movie, & mentioned way in advance) was renamed to "folie a deux", in which case these might be lyrics that she sings, and that'd explain the discrepancy. guess we'll see tonight
@Ziddletwix i’m planning to photograph the credits, if i can remember, which should list all the songs and artists
The track 'Harley and Joker Waltz' was added on Lady Gaga's BMI account.
