In the past there was some fear that Be Prepared might get cut after Elton John forgot to list it while talking about the film but fear not, every song from the original film made it into the remake (except for Morning Report, but that doesn't count).
For all you Broadway lovers hoping that some of the original tracks from the show would make it in, He Lives in You (which is also the opener of Lion King 2) is the only one present.
Hans Zimmer's score is also on the soundtrack as it had been confirmed that he would return for this film.
What's making people scratch heads though is the mysteriously Untitled 14th track. But Director Jon Favreau revealed it's an original Beyonce solo (so not Shadowland).
"We have all the original songs, but there's a song that she performed and wrote in the spirit of the production along with working with Lebo M., who's part of it with Hans Zimmer. They were all collaborating with her and helping to bring this new piece of music into a film where there's already a very established musical personality to the piece. So it was nice of them to have them working with her to allow the new song to feel organically a part of the new production."
The soundtrack will be released July 11 and the film releases July 19.
