Mulan: An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack is the soundtrack for the 1998 Disney animated feature film Mulan. Released by Walt Disney Records on June 2, 1998, the album featured songs by Matthew Wilder and David Zippel, conducted by Paul Bogaev, and score composed and conducted by Jerry Goldsmith. Vocalists included Lea Salonga, Donny Osmond, 98 Degrees, Jaz Coleman, Stevie Wonder and Christina Aguilera. The album peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard 200 on July 18, 1998, concurrent to the film's run in theaters. No singles from the album charted on the Hot 100, although Aguilera's version of "Reflection" did reach number 15 on the Adult Contemporary chart, while 98° and Stevie Wonder's "True to Your Heart", the film's theme song, did reach number 51 on the Adult Contemporary chart. The collective efforts of Zippel, Wilder, and Goldsmith were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Musical or Comedy Score at the 71st Academy Awards, but lost to Shakespeare in Love. A limited edition promotional album featuring Jerry Goldsmith's complete score was also released and became a collector's item. The Japanese version has "Breathe" by Luna Sea as the theme song. The Korean version uses "Eternal Memory" by Lena Park.

Unreleased songs

"China Doll"

A song titled "China Doll" was featured in the demo versions of the movie, but was replaced with "Honor to Us All" in the final version.

"Keep 'Em Guessing"

There is a deleted song aptly called "Keep 'Em Guessing", which was removed from the film when Eddie Murphy was cast as Mushu. This song was revealed on the Mulan 2-Disc Special Edition but Disney chose not to re-release the soundtrack to Mulan, despite doing so for the soundtracks to Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Aladdin. It was brought back for the Mulan Jr. stage musical.

"Written in Stone"

"Written in Stone" was originally placed in the section where Mulan questions her identity and decides to write her own destiny rather than succumbing to societal gender roles. It was eventually replaced with "Reflection". Despite originally being a 4-minute power ballad, it is broken up into small pieces and reprised many times throughout the Mulan Jr. stage musical. It is sung by the ancestors in the intro as they explain the family structure of China much like Tradition in Fiddler on the Roof. A later reprise by Mulan demonstrates that she wants her life to be written in stone — but by herself, not by her ancestors.
