Cruel Intentions is the compilation soundtrack to the 1999 film of the same name. The film's soundtrack peaked at #60 on The Billboard 200. It features popular songs including "Every You Every Me" by Placebo, "Colorblind" by Counting Crows, "Coffee & TV" by Blur, "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve (appropriately played during the film's revealing ending), "Praise You" by Fatboy Slim, "Secretly" by Skunk Anansie, "You Could Make A Killing" by Aimee Mann, "Addictive" by Faithless, and "Trip On Love" by Abra Moore.

The songs "Push It" by Garbage, "If You Tolerate This (Your Children Will Be Next) by Manic Street Preachers, How Soon Is Now? by Love Spit Love, "6 Underground" by Sneaker Pimps and "Cut the Cord" by Pushmonkey were used in promotional spots for the film. None of the promotional songs appear on soundtrack. Also according to the commentary The Smashing Pumpkins song "To Sheila" was considered but couldn't get the rights to it. Although the song Lovefool by The Cardigans was featured in the film, it was not featured in the soundtrack.

Music composer John Ottman had originally created an entire musical score for the film but it was rejected and Ed Shearmur was hired to compose new music. Ottman's score was moody and sophisticated but the producers had instead opted for a more pop/rock-oriented soundtrack. Ottman, not wanting to let his hard work go to waste, released his music in an album through Varese Sarabande called Music Inspired by the Film Cruel Intentions: Suites and Themes from the Scores of John Ottman which featured 10 tracks of his original score plus tracks from his work on other films and TV shows such as Halloween: H20, Apt Pupil and Fantasy Island.
