Background[]
In 2016, composer-songwriter Marc Shaiman and co-lyricist Scott Wittman began working on the score. They wrote nine original songs for the film, including "The Place Where Lost Things Go", which was nominated for Best Original Song by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2018. Additionally, the score includes musical references to the songs and score from the first film written by the Sherman Brothers. Some of these songs featured in the film include "A Spoonful of Sugar", "The Perfect Nanny", "Feed the Birds" and "Let's Go Fly a Kite", with Richard M. Sherman serving as music consultant.
On November 26, 2018, "The Place Where Lost Things Go" (sung by Emily Blunt) and "Trip a Little Light Fantastic" (sung by Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast) were released, and the soundtrack was made available for digital pre-order. As indicated in the liner notes, the track "Theme from Mary Poppins Returns" was not used in the final film; it was, however, featured in trailers for the movie. One song deleted from the film before a cast recording was made, "The Anthropomorphic Zoo" - a song originally intended for the "Royal Doulton Bowl" sequence - is excluded from the soundtrack album. However, a demo recording illustrated with storyboard images is included as a bonus feature on the home media release of the film.
