[5] At an Academy event, songwriter and Disney Legend Richard M. Sherman revealed that the film would feature the iconic "Winnie the Pooh" theme, and that he was working on three new songs for the film,[6] titled "Goodbye Farewell", "Busy Doing Nothing", and the title song, with the first one being performed by the voice cast, and the last two by Sherman.

[5] Sherman said that he found "very special to be back at the Hundred Acre Wood" as "Winnie the Pooh became a dear friend of [his] when Walt gave [to the Sherman Brothers] the assignment to write songs for the first Winnie the Pooh short film",[5] and felt the film has "a wonderful story".

The recording is also rather mundane, with none of the improvement to the ambient depth of the concept that Zanelli had guided for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

[10] Sandy Schaefer of Screen Rant called the score as "lively" and added that it "further serves to enrich the movie's enchanting atmosphere and mood".

[11] Justin Chang of Los Angeles Times wrote "the lilting musical score by Jon Brion and Geoff Zanelli, surge with gentle, unforced emotion".
