The toys are back, and so is the music that has helped define one of animation’s most beloved franchises. Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 is now playing in theaters, and fans can also enjoy the film’s highly anticipated Original Soundtrack, available to stream now from Walt Disney Records. Featuring a brand-new song from global superstar Taylor Swift alongside an original score from legendary composer Randy Newman, the soundtrack adds another memorable chapter to the musical legacy of Toy Story.
Leading the soundtrack is Taylor Swift’s original song, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” written and produced by Swift and longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff. Inspired by Jessie’s continuing journey that began in Toy Story 2, the song marks a return to Swift’s country roots while blending the storytelling style that has made her one of the most successful artists of her generation.

The track has already become a worldwide sensation, debuting at #1 across multiple countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia, and Austria. It also debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and Global 200 charts, while becoming the biggest soundtrack debut ever on both Apple Music and Spotify. The song has continued to dominate streaming, digital sales, radio airplay, and social media platforms since its release.
Swift shared her excitement about contributing to the iconic franchise, noting that writing a song for Jessie felt both like a new creative challenge and a natural fit. As a lifelong fan of Toy Story, Swift described the opportunity as an adventure she plans to be on “to infinity and beyond.”
Director Andrew Stanton praised Swift’s contribution, explaining that her deep understanding of Jessie’s character helped create a song that feels intrinsically connected to the Toy Story universe. According to Stanton, the song immediately felt like it had always belonged within the franchise, seamlessly fitting alongside its rich storytelling tradition.
The soundtrack also features an all-new original score from Academy Award-winning composer Randy Newman, who returns for his fifth Toy Story feature film. Newman’s music has been a cornerstone of the franchise since the original Toy Story debuted in 1995. His beloved song, “You’ve Got A Friend In Me,” remains one of the most recognizable themes in film history and continues to appear throughout the series.
For Newman, returning to the world of Woody, Buzz, and the gang remains a rewarding experience. He described working on Toy Story 5 as one of the most enjoyable projects of his career, crediting Pixar’s storytelling and creative environment for making each installment special.
Producer Lindsey Collins highlighted Newman’s unparalleled understanding of the franchise, noting that his three decades of experience with the characters allows him to balance nostalgia with fresh storytelling. Stanton echoed those sentiments, calling Newman an invaluable creative partner whose narrative instincts help shape the emotional core of every Toy Story film.
Fans who want to add the soundtrack to their collection can look forward to physical releases arriving in September, including a two-disc vinyl edition and CD release. Both formats are currently available for pre-order through Disney Music Emporium and select retailers.
With Taylor Swift bringing new emotional depth to Jessie’s story and Randy Newman once again delivering the heart and soul of the franchise through his score, the Toy Story 5 soundtrack offers fans the perfect musical companion to Pixar’s latest adventure. Whether you’re revisiting old friends or discovering these beloved characters for the first time, this soundtrack is sure to keep the magic of Toy Story playing long after the credits roll.
