Short version: The Angry Birds Movie 2 soundtrack mixes original score by Heitor Pereira with a handful of pop songs (including new tracks by Kesha and Luke Combs). There’s also a separate Angry Birds 2 game soundtrack made for the mobile game, which is different from the movie album. Below I explain both, list highlights, and give ideas for listening.
What exactly are we talking about?
When people say “Angry Birds 2 soundtrack” they might mean two different things:
-
The movie soundtrack — The Angry Birds Movie 2: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (released in 2019). This is mostly the film score by composer Heitor Pereira, plus some licensed/pop songs and two brand-new tracks made for the film. (Spotify)
-
The game soundtrack — music composed or produced for the mobile game Angry Birds 2 (the Rovio game). This is separate and geared to gameplay (short loops, levels themes). There are fan uploads and rip sites that collect the game’s music. (downloads.khinsider.com)
This blog focuses mostly on the movie soundtrack, but I’ll explain the game music briefly too.
Who made the movie soundtrack?
The original score for The Angry Birds Movie 2 was written by Heitor Pereira, a Grammy-recognized film composer known for lively, family-friendly scores (he’s worked on animation before). The soundtrack album was released digitally in August 2019 and contains many score cues plus two stand-alone songs recorded for the film: Kesha’s “Best Day (Angry Birds 2 Remix)” and Luke Combs’ “Let’s Just Be Friends.” (Spotify)
Why that mix? The movie balances slapstick comedy, adventure, and heartfelt moments. Pereira’s score gives the film emotional and action beats, while the pop songs add moments of vocal energy and marketing-friendly singles. (Soundtrakd)
What’s on the album? (Highlights)
-
Composer tracks (score cues): The bulk of the album are short instrumental cues — titles like Morning Commute, Bird Scouts, A Truce, Fun Things, Pigs Investigate, and We Did It. These tracks are written to match specific scenes (so many are under 3 minutes). (YouTube)
-
Pop singles: Kesha’s remix of “Best Day” and Luke Combs’ “Let’s Just Be Friends” are the major vocal additions. These two are promotional and stylistically different from the orchestral score. (Angry Birds)
-
Length and format: The soundtrack was released digitally (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon) and runs roughly from 50 minutes to an hour depending on edition; it lists many short cues that together tell the film’s emotional arc. (Spotify)
What does the music sound like?
-
Playful and cinematic: Pereira’s themes are upbeat, with lively percussion and playful woodwind/strings for the birds. Action scenes use faster rhythms, while emotional scenes slow down and use warm string textures. (Spotify)
-
Pop moments: The Kesha and Luke Combs songs feel like radio-friendly, standalone tracks — catchy and modern — placed in the film to punctuate big, feel-good moments. (Angry Birds)
How does the soundtrack support the movie?
Good movie scores do two things: they underline emotions and shape pacing. Pereira’s work here does both — giving the birds distinct musical cues and helping transitions between comedy and heartfelt beats. The pop songs are bookends or highlights that add mainstream appeal (and help promote the soundtrack outside the film). (Spotify)
The game soundtrack — short note
If you searched for Angry Birds 2 soundtrack because you play the mobile game, note that the game’s music is different: it’s shorter, loop-friendly, and designed for levels and menus. Fans upload these game tracks on tracker sites and archives; you can find game OSTs online on fan sites and uploader pages. But that music is generally separate from the movie’s orchestral score.

Listening tips — how to enjoy the soundtrack
-
Listen with the film in mind. Many score cues are short and make more sense when you remember the scene. If you watch the movie first, the album feels richer. (YouTube)
-
Try the tracks that name scenes. Titles like Red’s Speech or Up to Speed map to moments in the movie and are fun to relive. (YouTube)
-
Use the pop singles for playlists. Kesha’s remix and Luke Combs’ song work well on upbeat playlists or as standalone tracks. (Angry Birds)
-
Compare movie vs game music. If you like looping short melodies (good for background while you work or play), sample the game OST. If you prefer cinematic instrumentals, stick with Pereira’s movie score. (downloads.khinsider.com)

Final thoughts
The Angry Birds Movie 2 soundtrack is a cheerful, well-crafted mix of cinematic scoring and pop songs. If you enjoy light-hearted orchestral music with clear emotional beats (and a couple of catchy singles), it’s worth a listen. If you’re a fan of the Angry Birds 2 mobile game, explore the game OST too — it offers shorter, loop-friendly pieces made specifically for play.
