The full track listing for DreamWorks Animation’s “Forgotten Island” has been revealed, featuring songs by Lea Salonga, BINI, SB19 and KATSEYE’s Sophia Laforteza.
The 37-track soundtrack was unveiled exclusively by Variety, as seen in the Instagram Stories Salonga shared on Tuesday, Aug. 18. The full listing will be released on Sept. 18, a week before the animated film opens in theaters on Sept. 25.
BINI is featured on “A Parallel World,” while SB19 performs “Mga Kababayan,” its cover of the classic song by the late Filipino rapper Francis M.
Salonga, meanwhile, lends her vocals to several tracks with composer Nathan Matthew David, including “Ninakaw Sa Akin,” “Magnanakaw,” “Balik” and “Bahagi Mo.” She also joins BINI on “A Parallel World (Amping Mix).”

Laforteza, leader of global girl group KATSEYE, performs a remixed version of INXS’ “Never Tear Us Apart,” which is featured in an emotional scene between the film’s two lead characters.
The soundtrack also includes “BRB,” the film’s title track performed by H.E.R. and Liza Soberano, who voice best friends Jo and Raissa, respectively. Ruby Ibarra and Carl Angelo perform “Salbahe Ako,” while Guapdad 4000 and P-Lo appear on “Double Up.”
The remaining tracks are composed by David, who drew inspiration from ’80s and ’90s pop and hip-hop, as well as Filipino and Filipino-American musical culture.
The film follows Jo and Raissa as they embark on one last adventure together before becoming trapped on the mysterious island of Nakali after passing through a magical portal.
David also incorporated traditional Filipino instruments and musical elements into the score, including indigenous instruments, the Las Piñas bamboo pipe organ and a Filipino choir singing Tagalog phrases.
Salonga, who voices a terrifying manananggal in the film, is prominently featured throughout the score. David used the indigenous gandingan, or talking gong, in creating the creature’s sound.
The directors previously revealed that Salonga was approached for the role after they felt her voice would be a strong fit for the character. She also developed the manananggal’s deeper vocal quality to complement the voices of H.E.R. and Soberano.
