Sing 2 Soundtrack Guide: Every Song (2024)

Featuring tracks by Prince, Billie Eilish, U2, and more, the Sing 2 songs comprise a soundtrack that offers several options for the audience to sing along with, with most songs massive hits. Sing 2 is the sequel to 2016’s Sing, which saw the main characters assemble for auditions at Mr. Moon’s theater, with a star-studded cast including Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, and Scarlett Johansson. In 2021, Sing 2 brought the gang back for another musical adventure with all the star power of the first, plus rock legend Bono’s animated debut.

Sing 2 picks up an undetermined amount of time after Sing’s conclusion with the cast performing a musical Alice in Wonderland at Buster Moon’s rebuilt New Moon Theater. A talent scout has come to the show but leaves underwhelmed, and Buster hatches a plan to take the team to the fabulous Redshore City (a spin on Las Vegas) to audition for the biggest name in showbiz. What ensues is a fun-filled disaster similar to Sing's plot, in which the team pulls together to accomplish their dreams with a fantastic soundtrack.

Every Song In Sing 2's Soundtrack

38 Hit Songs Are In Sing 2

As was the case with Sing 2’s predecessor, Sing, the Sing 2 soundtrack is a mix of hits mostly sung by the incredible Sing 2 cast with some songs featured in their original state, sung by the original artist. Also, similar to Sing, some songs in the Sing 2 soundtrack are covered so impeccably that it’s hard to tell if it’s the original artist or the Sing 2 cast.

• “Let’s Go Crazy” by Prince – Rosita sings Prince’s classic “Let’s Go Crazy” in the opening sequence of Sing 2. Main characters Johnny, Meena, and Gunter join in during their production of Alice in Wonderland. The song is the first of the many ensemble-sung numbers in the Sing 2 soundtrack and features the voices of Reese Witherspoon (Rosita), Taron Egerton (Johnny), Tori Kelley (Meena), and Nick Kroll (Gunter).
• “Can’t Feel My Face” by The Weeknd – Kiana Ledé gives voice to a rabbit singing The Weeknd’s hit “Can’t Feel My Face” while Buster, Rosita, Johnny, Meena, and Gunter spy on the talent scout from the theater’s scaffolding.

• “bad guy” by Billie Eilish – Billie Eilish’s “bad guy” plays as Meena dresses up as the janitor of Crystal Entertainment, Ricky, and sneaks the team into the audition. It is a sly song considering the group is planning what almost looks like a heist.
• “…Ready for It?” by Taylor Swift – Mr. Moon peeks out from the stage curtain as two bulls dance for an audition to Taylor Swift’s “Ready for It?” (Sing featured another of Taylor Swift’s hits, “Shake It Off.”) This is the first song in the Sing 2 soundtrack’s Sing 2 Audition Medley.
• “My Name Is” by Eminem – Three small chicks pop out of a chimney during the cast-sung second song in the Sing 2 Audition Medley: Eminem’s hit, “My Name Is.” The entire moment was played as a visual gag, and using Eminem topped it off.

• “Cake by The Ocean” by DNCE – In a hypnotic interlude, DNCE’s “Cake by the Ocean” is sung by the Sing 2 cast while a team of flamingos in roller skates audition for Mr. Crystal. It is the final song in the Sing 2 Audition Medley.
• “Where The Streets Have No Name” by U2 – Buster Moon and the ensemble sing U2’s “Where The Streets Have No Name” as they pitch Mr. Crystal (voiced by Nine Perfect Strangers’ Bobby Cannavale) on their musical featuring Clay Calloway. The song is sung by Tori Kelly (Meena), Taron Egerton (Johnny), Scarlett Johansson (Ash), Reese Witherspoon (Rosita), and Nick Kroll (Gunter).
• “Higher Love” by Whitney Houston (KYGO Remix) – The original KYGO Remix of Whitney Houston’s “Higher Love” plays on the Sing 2 soundtrack as the team enters Crystal Tower Hotel in Redshore city.

• “Break Free” by Ariana Grande, Zedd – “Break Free” by Ariana Grande and Zedd is sung by Reese Witherspoon’s Rosita as she charges down the plank and then becomes terrified, failing to jump.

• “Girl on Fire” by Alicia Keys – Mr. Crystal’s daughter Porcha jumps from the plank after Rosita gets scared and sings Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire.” Porcha is voiced by singer/songwriter and three-time Grammy nominee Halsey.

Taron Egerton breaks out into song in the middle of the restaurant, covering Mendes’ original song, to convince Nooshy (voiced by Black Panther’s Shuri, Letitia Wright) that he is “legit.” The original version of this song, sung by Mendes is also played over the end credits.

Will Sing 3 Happen?

What We Know About A Sing Sequel

According to Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri, Sing 3 is in production. He said his company is working on sequels in the Shrek and Secret Lives of Pets franchises. He then touched on making another Sing movie. Meledandri said Illumination is “deep into development” on Sing 3. "It will involve characters from the original cast, but it will take us into a new world," he said. This makes sense since the movie made $400 million at the box office during the pandemic.

The pseudo-after-credits scene in Sing 2 illustrates that the characters still have plenty of life left to continue the franchise. Likewise, some of the main voice cast like Matthew McConaughey, Tori Kelly, and Scarlett Johansson, all expressed willingness and even keen interest in doing a sequel, with McConaughey hinting in an interview with CinemaBlend that he'd like his character, Buster Moon, to get a musical number of his own next time around.

How The Sing 2 Songs Compare To The First Film

Sing 2 brought In Some Major Musical Talent To The Cast

While 38 songs in Sing 2 seem like a lot, there were even more in the first movie. The first Sing movie had an astonishing 64 songs (with 23 on the official soundtrack). The quality of music in the two movies was pretty equal, with just as many popular hits in the original as in the sequel. Both movies had Taylor Swift songs ("Shake It Off' in the first movie) and classic hits (the first movie featured Queen's "Under Pressure" and Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors").

However, what made the songs from the first movie special was the cast's singing of them during the stage show. In that aspect, Sing 2 excels over the first movie for two big reasons. The sequel cast three-time Grammy nominee Halsey to play Porsha and U2 frontman Bono as Clay Calloway. The latter allowed no less than three U2 songs to appear in the movie and came out to sing "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" with Scarlett Johansson's Ash in the final big music moment in Sing 2.
