Descendants 3 (Original TV Movie Soundtrack) is a soundtrack album by the cast of the film of the same name, released on August 2, 2019 by Walt Disney Records.[3] The soundtrack was announced on May 31, 2019, with the lead single "Good to be Bad" being released on the same date. Two other songs: "VK Mashup" and "Queen of Mean" were released on July 19 and August 2, respectively; the latter accompanied the soundtrack release.

Background

Descendants 3 (Original TV Movie Soundtrack) was released on August 2, 2019, along with the parent film, and featured 13 tracks, with much of the songs are written originally for the film. Also included in the album are: "Dig a Little Deeper" from the 2009 film The Princess and the Frog, two songs from the first film's soundtrack, "Did I Mention" and a remixed version of "Rotten to the Core".

Steven Vincent, Disney Channel's VP of music and soundtracks, said in an interview to Variety, that he went "through the script looking for musical opportunities where could we use big numbers and where could we do character numbers". He added that Sofia Carson's character Evie did not have a song herself in the first two films, hence he "looked for a spot where she could have a number to herself and it would be fresh for this film".[4]

About the opening number, "Good to be Bad", songwriter Antonina Armato, who worked on the first two films, had said that " We wanted to make sure that those lyrics made you feel like, it was a celebration. These are the misfit kids and they have a sense of pride all of a sudden. Maybe we’re the bad kids. Maybe we’re the bad apples, but guess what? We made applesauce and it tastes good and everyone is stoked."[4] On the song "Queen of Mean" sung by Sarah Jeffrey as Audrey, Armato added " At first, her character was always doing the right thing and, all of a sudden, everything you thought was gonna happen didn’t and she said, “Well, I could either take this or I can empower myself.” … I thought a lot of young girls would enjoy that sort of just the way it sounds. It was fun and Sarah embodied that song in such a great way."[4]

Commercial performance

The soundtrack debuted at number 7 on the Billboard 200 with 36,000 album-equivalent units, much lesser than the soundtracks of the first two films, earning 42,000 and 46,000 respectively.[1] It subsequently fell to number 14, the following week.[5] It topped the Billboard Kid Albums chart[2] and also debuted at number 10 on the UK Soundtrack Albums Chart,[6] while being further charted at Australia, Canada, and France in numbers 36 and 166, respectively. The accompanying music videos released for the soundtrack, earned around 285 million views on the Disney Music's Vevo channel.[4]
