Despicable Me 2: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Pharrell Williams and Heitor Pereira’s score for the animated sequel balances whimsical orchestral arrangements with the producer’s signature pop sensibility. Back Lot Music released this hybrid soundtrack that functions equally as children’s entertainment and adult listening — the title track became a global earworm while instrumental cues showcase Pereira’s compositional craft across comedic underscore and emotional beats. Over 54,000 listens suggest the music transcended typical animated film soundtrack status.
