Encanto: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

In June 2020, Miranda publicly revealed that he had begun to write the film's music, which would have eight original songs in both Spanish and English. After the film's premiere, Miranda disclosed that he had been writing songs for the film from the very beginning. On September 8, 2021, Germaine Franco, co-composer of the songs from Coco (2017), began to score the film. Composer John Powell was credited for the film as a score consultant for the music; this was the first time he had returned to work on a Disney Animation film since Bolt (2008).
According to Miranda, the opening song, "The Family Madrigal", was inspired by "Belle", the opening song of Beauty and the Beast (1991).
The hardest song to write was "Dos Oruguitas", an acoustic ballad which became Miranda's first song written entirely in Spanish. To make it sound like an authentic Colombian folk song, Miranda insisted on writing the song first in Spanish, rather than writing first in English and then translating later into Spanish. Miranda looked to songwriters like Joan Manuel Serrat and Antônio Carlos Jobim for inspiration.
"Waiting on a Miracle" was written as Mirabel's "I Want" song. During the 2018 research trip, the filmmakers noticed that local musicians in Barichara were playing Colombian music on guitars and tiples in a 3
4 waltz time signature. Miranda wrote the song in that time signature to symbolize how Mirabel is in a "different rhythmic universe than the rest of her family".
The soundtrack for the film was released on November 19, 2021. It peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200.
All songs are written by Lin-Manuel Miranda with scores composed by Franco.
