Pitch Perfect 3 (soundtrack)

Pitch Perfect 3: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the 2017 film Pitch Perfect 3. It was released on December 15, 2017, through Universal Music and featured 19 tracks. The lead single that preceded the soundtrack was the mashup of George Michael's "Freedom! '90" with "Cups", the song from the first film, released as "Freedom! 90 x Cups" on November 20. A special edition soundtrack featuring three additional tracks was released on March 2, 2018.

Background
The Pitch Perfect 3 soundtrack comprises a cappella mashups and medleys of popular music ranging from George Michael's "Freedom! '90", the 19th-century Christmas song "Silent Night" and Frank Loesser's "Baby, It's Cold Outside" (1944), along with contemporary music. The album was executively produced by music supervisors Julianne Jordan and Julia Michels, and produced by producer-songwriter Harvey Mason Jr. According to Universal Pictures executive vice president of music, Mike Knobloch, the production and music team spent most time on conceiving the number for "Freedom! 90", which was intended as the highlight of the final instalment.

The cast of the film along with the finalists of the 13th season of the NBC reality show The Voice recorded a mashup of "Freedom! 90 x Cups", which was broadcast on November 21 and released as the single the same day. It was eventually made available for digital download to audiences along with pre-bookings at the Fandango website.

Reception
Danielle Burgos of Bustle wrote that the film's soundtrack "gives new life to pop hits and features a full slate of amazing covers that cross genres and defy expectations." Craig Elvy of Screen Rant felt that "as far as the soundtrack is concerned, it appears that Pitch Perfect 3 is serving up more of the same for this third—and supposedly final—installment."
