Meghan Trainor says, “I was thrilled to be offered the chance to see an early vision of The Peanuts Movie and then be inspired to write a song that captured the film’s spirit, energy, and sense of joy. It was a pleasure to work with director Steve Martino to make sure the song did right by the incredible characters that the team is bringing to the big screen. I can’t wait for everyone to hear the song!”

In addition, the Soundtrack includes Flo Rida’s “That’s What I Like” [feat. Fitz] and newly reimagined recordings of Vince Guaraldi classics by Emmy Award®-winning composer Christophe Beck [Frozen, Pitch Perfect¸ Buffy the Vampire Slayer].
