Toy Story 5 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Overview

Pixar scores its most country-flavored goodbye, and you can hear it

Toy Story 5 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the score for the fifth film in Pixar Animation Studios' saga for Walt Disney Pictures, released by Walt Disney Records on the film's theatrical opening day, June 19, 2026. The album gathers 27 tracks running just over 76 minutes: 26 instrumental score cues plus one original song with a guest vocal. Audio in 320 kbps.

The production and the score

Randy Newman returns to the piano for his fifth Toy Story film, per the soundtrack listing. Newman conducts the orchestra alongside his cousin Joey Newman, who is also credited as music producer on the instrumental tracks. The score swings between its familiar warmth and bigger moments: "Highway Robbery" is the longest piece at 6:09, followed by "Buried Treasure" (5:01) and "Blaze" (5:30). Telling cue names like "Operation Jessie," "Welcome Woody," "Calling Woody," "Tech Boom" and "Bonnie and Blaze" hint at where the story's emotional arc is headed.

The song: enter Taylor Swift

The album's big draw is "I Knew It, I Knew You (From Toy Story 5)", performed by Taylor Swift and co-written and co-produced with Jack Antonoff. It is the record's only guest vocal; everything else is Newman's instrumental cues. The single dropped ahead of the soundtrack on June 5, 2026, and, inspired by Jessie's character arc per director Andrew Stanton, it is described as a country return for Swift. The track debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, her fifteenth chart-topper there and Pixar's first Hot 100 number one.

• 27 tracks on Walt Disney Records, with 26 instrumental score cues.
• Randy Newman leading the score and Taylor Swift as the lone guest vocal with her original song.
• Audio in 320 kbps.
