Choose Wisely is the twenty-eighth track (Disc 2 Track 13) included in Halo 3: Original Soundtrack, and plays in the main menu of Halo 3 and Halo 3: Mythic.

The track starts on a single note from strings, followed by a hopeful melody by the choir, which is the same as the choir heard in the beginning in Finish the Fight (the music heard in the Halo 3 announcement trailer). The orchestra continues its accompaniment, then the choir swells and fades before the strings finish the melody.

The name of this soundtrack is a reference to Cortana's having to choose wisely for the Spartan-II commando who will integrate her into his MJOLNIR Mark V armor. It may additionally be a reference to the fact that it is heard in the main menu, where the player makes their choice.
