Central Park is the soundtrack album to the animated musical sitcom of the same name. In March 2021, along with the announcement of the series' second season release date and the third season renewal, creator Loren Bouchard stated that over the course of the two upcoming seasons, 115 songs would be produced.^[1]

Composition[edit]

Each episode includes about four original musical numbers sung by the cast. In total, the first season alone includes 46 original songs. Gad joked he had to "beg, plead and barter to get four songs an episode."^[2] The songs in the first two episodes were written by several songwriters, including Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson (the songwriters for Olaf's Frozen Adventure), Bouchard, Smith, Davis, Sara Bareilles, and Brent Knopf. Songs in future episodes were written by such artists as Fiona Apple, Meghan Trainor, Cyndi Lauper, Alan Menken and Glenn Slater, Darren Criss, Utkarsh Ambudkar and Aimee Mann. The songs from the first two episodes were made available by Hollywood Records on streaming services the day the show premiered.^[3]
