Mean Girls (Music from the Motion Picture) is the soundtrack album to the 2024 film adaptation of the Broadway musical of the same name. The album was released on January 12, 2024, by Interscope Records.

The soundtrack features twelve musical numbers from the film, which were reworked by Jeff Richmond and Nell Benjamin, the stage musical's original composer and lyricist, respectively. It also includes a new musical number written for the adaptation by Richmond, Benjamin, Reneé Rapp, and Michael Pollack.

Background

In January 2020, Tina Fey stated that a film adaptation of the Mean Girls stage musical, which is based on Mark Waters' 2004 comedy film, was in active development.^[1]

In January 2023, it was announced that Jeff Richmond and Nell Benjamin returned to rework their songs from the stage musical for the film adaptation, while Richmond also composed the film's score.^[2] Fourteen songs from the stage musical were cut for the film to avoid issues with tonality and make it less-stagy, including "Where Do You Belong?", "Fearless", "Stop", "Whose House Is This?", "More Is Better", and "Do this Thing", along with the reprises of "Stupid with Love", and "A Cautionary Tale".^[3]^[4]

Reneé Rapp joined Richmond and Benjamin to write a new musical number for Cady, titled "What If's", to replace "It Roars", the introductory song for the character in the stage version.^[5] Rapp also co-wrote "Not My Fault", performed by her and American rapper Megan Thee Stallion, which is not used as a musical number in the film, but plays during the end credits scene. The song was released as a single on December 15, 2023.^[6] A music video was released on January 5, 2024.^[7] It was followed by "World Burn", which was released as a promotional single on January 8, 2024.

Release

The soundtrack album was made available to pre-save and pre-order on January 3, 2024, and was released digitally on January 12 by Interscope Records.^[8] A CD edition was released on February 23, 2024, and was followed by a pink colored LP on April 19.^[9]

A deluxe edition, titled Bonus Track Version, was released on February 20, 2024.^[10]
