Development

Songwriters Alan Schmuckler and Michael Mahler composed songs for the film, while Heitor Pereira did the original score for the film.[2][3] Director Robert Cullen said that he wanted the soundtrack to "have an eclectic range of genres in the songs", in order to make it "as unpredictable as [they] can" in hopes of defying the audiences' expectations regarding the soundtrack.[4] He praised Schmuckler and Mahler's work of having a "punk rock, Nirvana-esque song" in the film which was unexpected and felt the songs to be "brilliant, super catchy, airborne".[4]

Promotion

The soundtrack was promoted with three singles: On September 2, 2021, the first song "Glowin' Up", performed by Sofia Carson and written by Jenna Andrews, Bryan Fryzel, and Taylor Upsahl, was released to digital platforms.[5] The music video of the song featuring Carson was released on October 8, 2021.[6] The second single, "It's Alright" by Johnny Orlando, was released on September 16, 2021.[7] The film's soundtrack was released alongside the film on September 24, 2021.[8]
