Mean Girls soundtrack: All the songs in the musical remake
Most of the songs in the new film first featured in the Broadway stage musical.
It's hard to believe it's been twenty years since the release of the original Mean Girls, which is still a major cultural touchstone two decades on.
And now a Gen Z version has landed in cinemas, boasting a largely new cast as well as songs from the Broadway show of the same name which premiered in 2017.
However, not every song will feature in the movie version. Tracks cut from the stage version include It Roars, Where Do You Belong, Stop, Whose House Is This, Fearless, More Is Better and Do This Thing, while other songs including Meet the Plastics have been pared back.
In addition, several songs in the movie version are sung by different characters.
In the film, Cady’s opening number It Roars has been replaced with What If, presumably to suit Angourie Rice’s vocal range.
Meanwhile, in the stage version, Apex Predator is a duet between Cady and Janis, but in the movie, Damian sings Cady’s parts, again likely to suit their vocal ranges.
Mean Girls 2024 also features two brand new original tracks which didn't feature in the stage version.
These include the end credits song Not My Fault which is performed by Regina George star Reneé Rapp alongside Megan Thee Stallion.
