Inside Out: Original Soundtrack is the soundtrack album to Disney/Pixar's 2015 film of the same name, composed by Michael Giacchino. It is the second collaboration between Michael Giacchino and Pete Docter, after previously working on Up, which received an Academy Award for Best Original Score. Giacchino termed the score as "more emotional in comparison to the score for Up" and also being "more personal" due to his experience on parenthood. The score was recorded between January and May 2015, and featured more orchestral and symphonic music accompanied by a range of instruments, from piano, guitar, drum, organ and harp.

The score was digitally released by Walt Disney Records on June 16, 2015, and followed by a CD release on July 7.[1][2] While the score album originally consisted of twenty-four tracks, an additional track, "Lava", from the Pixar short film of the same title, which accompanied with the film's theatrical release, was included in the soundtrack list. A 7-disc vinyl album was released in 2016, with cover artworks depicting the different characters in the film and their emotions.[3] The soundtrack received positive critical acclaim, and earned Giacchino numerous awards and nominations, including an Annie Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music in a Feature Production, International Film Music Critics Association Award for Best Original Score for an Animated Film and World Soundtrack Award for Soundtrack Composer of the Year. It is regarded as one of Giacchino's best scores in his discography.[4][5]

The Japanese theme song is "Itoshi no Riley" by Dreams Come True. The music video is sandwiched in between the Lava short and the actual film itself on the theatrical release.[6]
