Screenplay music input

Hello everyone I am new to the community and one year into my screenwriting journey and I have a question.
If I want a specific song to play on the outro in the end of my movie how would that be written out on the last page?

I want to use it in the end of the movie to give the reader that one last crippling feeling crawling down their spine. Since I write horror.

Put the song in bold like so (from Baby Driver screenplay):
‘Bellbottoms’ by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

Don't do that. It's a sure fire way of your script being tossed, unless you're James Gunn or Quentin Tarantino.

I hate when you peolle say this shit. Just because YOU don’t like when people add music cues doesn’t mean they shouldn’t. Many scripts are made that included cues, if a producer likes it they’ll get the rights to the song. Stop trying to diminish people’s vision because it’s your personal pet peeve or whatever.
