Despicable Me 4 will bring new adventures and shenanigans to theaters on July 3 in addition to a new soundtrack overseen by musician Pharrell Williams. The fourth installment in the franchise follows in the footsteps of its predecessors with a soundtrack full of hit songs, some performed by Gru (Steve Carell) and Maxime Le Mal (Will Ferrell).
In addition to some songs from Williams, the film contains anthems from Van Halen, BLACKPINK, Pitbull, Right Said Fred, Elton John and Dua Lipa, Boy George, BTS and more. The most recent film to come out of the Illumination property — Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022) — had a soundtrack brought together by Jack Antonoff.
Two songs in particular reflect the relationship between Gru and Maxime, the rivalry at the heart of the film. Read on for what songs make those musical moments in the latest installment of Gru and the Minions’ adventures:
