"Down to Earth" is a song co-written and performed by English rock musician Peter Gabriel for the 2008 animated Disney-Pixar film WALL-E.
Composed by Gabriel and Thomas Newman, with additional vocals from the Soweto Gospel Choir, the song is the 37th track on the soundtrack album to WALL-E, in which it is featured over the end credits.
Andrew Stanton, who served as the director of WALL-E, was a fan of Gabriel's work and approached him to contribute a song for the soundtrack.
