The show's orchestral score was composed by James Horner, while the area and pre-show music was written by Richard Bellis.
Two new songs appeared in the film. The first is an early mix of "Another Part of Me". The song was re-mixed and later appeared on Jackson's hugely successful Bad album. It was released as a single in 1988, and makes a brief appearance in the movie "Rush Hour" in which Chris Tucker mimics Jackson after blowing up a car.
"We Are Here to Change the World" was not officially released until 2004 as part of Michael Jackson: The Ultimate Collection. However, this version is a shorter edit of the full-length song. Soul/R&B singer Deniece Williams covered the song on her As Good As It Gets album in 1988.

“To know whether you are enjoying a piece of music or not you must see whether you find yourself looking at the advertisements of Pears’ soap at the end of the libretto.”

“We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets—we remember only.”

“The great challenge which faces us is to assure that, in our society of big-ness, we do not strangle the voice of creativity, that the rules of the game do not come to overshadow its purpose, that the grand orchestration of society leaves ample room for the man who marches to the music of another drummer.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
