Soul Surfer (Music From The Motion Picture) is the soundtrack to the 2011 film Soul Surfer, released on April 5, 2011 by Rhino Records. The album featured numerous songs performed by artists James “Bla” Pahinui, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Britt Nicole, Brian Setzer and Two Door Cinema Club.[1]
It also had two original recordings written for the film: an original song "Runaway" by Mat Kearney and a cover of Katy Perry's 2010 hit single "Firework" by American Idol finalist Chris Sligh.[2] Mat Kearney claimed that he met Bethany Hamilton (whom the film is based) in Hawaii, before the accident and impressed with her and when the film's biopic was under production, Keaney was offered to write a song from the production's music staff, thereby leading his track "Runaway" being made into the final soundtrack.[3] The musical choices were supervised by Hamilton's family.[4]
