Released on November 20, 2007, by Walt Disney Records, it contains 15 audio tracks, including five original songs used in the film, all of which were written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz.

The film's instrumental score, composed by Menken, is also included on the soundtrack.

Orchestrated by Kevin Kliesch, Danny Troob, and Blake Neely, the songs and score were conducted by Menken's longtime collaborator Michael Kosarin, and performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony.

Although Menken and Schwartz's "Ever Ever After", performed by country singer-songwriter Carrie Underwood, was not released as a single, a music video of the song was made and is included on the CD.

All songs are composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Stephen Schwartz except track 15 written by Jack Brooks and Harry Warren.
