‘Despicable Me 4’ soundtrack features Pitbull, BTS, and more

Pharrell Williams leads the musical lineup in the latest Despicable Me instalment.

The eagerly anticipated release of Despicable Me 4 on July 3 promises not only fresh adventures for Gru (Steve Carell) and Maxime Le Mal (Will Ferrell) but also a vibrant soundtrack curated by musician Pharrell Williams. 

Following the footsteps of its predecessors, the film boasts a diverse collection of songs, including tracks performed by its animated stars.

The soundtrack features contributions from a range of artists, including Van Halen, BLACKPINK, Pitbull, Right Said Fred, Elton John, Dua Lipa, Boy George, BTS, and more. 

Williams, who oversaw the soundtrack, has ensured a mix of anthems that complement the film's storyline, particularly highlighting the dynamic between Gru and Maxime.

In previous Illumination releases like Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022), Jack Antonoff curated the soundtrack, setting a high bar for memorable musical moments. Despicable Me 4 continues this tradition with standout tracks that underscore pivotal moments in the film's narrative.

Among the standout tracks are Pharrell Williams' own compositions, such as "Despicable Me" and "Double Life," which capture the essence of the film's characters and their evolving relationships. 

Other notable inclusions are Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher," BLACKPINK's "Boombayah," Pitbull's "Freedom," and BTS's "Dynamite," each contributing to the film's energetic atmosphere.
