The songs and score for the film were composed byMarc Shaiman, with song lyrics written byScott Wittman and Shaiman.[1] The soundtrack album was released byWalt Disney Records on December 7, 2018.[1]

Composer-songwriterMarc Shaiman and co-lyricistScott Wittman began working on the score and songs in 2016. They wrote nine original songs for the film.[2] In 2018, the songThe Place Where Lost Things Go was nominated for an Oscar forBest Original Song and the film score was also nominated forBest Original Score.[3]
The score includes musical references to the songs and score from the first film written by theSherman Brothers:[2] these songs include "A Spoonful of Sugar", "The Perfect Nanny", "Feed the Birds" and "Let's Go Fly a Kite".[4]Richard M. Sherman served as music consultant,[5] with Shaiman stating that "if he had something that he thought should have been different or changed, he would have said so. But lo and behold, he didn’t. He was loving what he was hearing, and he really loves the new movie".[6]
On November 26, 2018, "The Place Where Lost Things Go" (sung byEmily Blunt) and "Trip a Little Light Fantastic" (sung byLin-Manuel Miranda and the cast) were released, and the soundtrack was made available for digital pre-order.[7][8]
As indicated in the liner notes, the track "Theme from Mary Poppins Returns" was not used in the final film; it was, however, featured in trailers for the movie. One song deleted from the film before a cast recording was made, "The Anthropomorphic Zoo" - a song originally intended for the "Royal Doulton Bowl" sequence - is excluded from the soundtrack album, but a demo recording, illustrated withstoryboard images, is included as a bonus feature on the home media release of the film.
All lyrics are written byMarc Shaiman &Scott Wittman; all music is composed by Shaiman.
