Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jordan Fisher sing a duet on 'You're Welcome', which plays over the end credits. South African singer Lira and Filipino singer Janella Salvador recorded two English-language versions of 'How Far I'll Go' that played over the end credits on the South African and Filipino release of the film, while Indonesian singer Maudy Ayunda and Malaysian singer Ayda Jebat recorded their own versions of the song respectively in Indonesian and Malaysian language. It reached number 88 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of December 17, 2016. A music video for Cara's version of the song was released on November 3, 2016.

' How Far I'll Go' appears during the film performed by actress Auliʻi Cravalho, and during the end credits performed by Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara. Īccording to Miranda, 'Shiny' was inspired by the Flight of the Conchords' tribute to David Bowie at the Aspen Comedy Festival in 2004, as well as listening to Bowie's songs on a loop shortly after the singer's death in January 2016. In addition to guitars and strings, the score features Polynesian vocals and percussion, woodwinds made from bamboo from the South Pacific, and traditional hide-covered Tyka drums. Mancina composed the score and produced both the score and the songs. The soundtrack contains seven original songs, two reprises, and two end-credits versions of songs from the film. The songs feature Foa'i's New Zealand-based vocal group Te Vaka, as well as a choir from Fiji. At the same time, Miranda was also developing and starring in the Broadway musical Hamilton, which meant he was able to recruit Hamilton stars Phillipa Soo, Christopher Jackson, and Renée Elise Goldsberry as well as In The Heights star Marcy Harriell to help him record demos of his songs. The trio worked together in New Zealand and in Los Angeles. The first song they completed was 'We Know the Way', which Foa'i began after his first meeting with Disney in December 2013. For the soundtrack, Disney wanted to combine traditional South Pacific culture with pop and Broadway sensibilities, which led to the hiring of Broadway playwright, songwriter and composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, composer Mark Mancina and Tokelauan singer-songwriter Opetaia Foa'i.
