Frozen (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to Disney's 2013 film of the same name with eight songs written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, and 22 score pieces composed by Christophe Beck. The soundtrack includes two versions of the critically acclaimed song "Let It Go" , one performed during the film by Idina Menzel, and another performed over the end credits by Demi Lovato. The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media, and the Critics' Choice Award for Best Song, and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.

Two editions of the soundtrack were released by Walt Disney Records on November 25, 2013: a single-disc regular edition, and a two-disc digipak deluxe edition, containing original demo recordings of songs and score compositions, unused outtake recordings, and instrumental versions of the film's main songs.[6] On October 21, 2013, the soundtrack's lead single, Lovato's cover of "Let It Go" was released.[7] Subsequent releases have been accompanied by foreign language translations of "Let It Go".

The album debuted at number 18 on the Billboard 200 chart.[8] The soundtrack has topped the Billboard album chart for thirteen non-consecutive weeks,[9] and as of April 2015 has sold 4 million copies in the U.S.[10] The album has been certified triple-Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America,[11] and peaked at number one on the aforementioned chart, becoming the fourth soundtrack album from an animated film to reach that milestone.[12][13]
