The Despicable Me 4 soundtrack includes a wide range of songs by various artists. The fourth installment in the popular Despicable Me movies, which continues Gru, the minions, and his family’s adventures, has been a box office success.

The Despicable Me 4 soundtrack features several popular songs, such as BTS’ “Dynamite” and “Boombayah” by Blackpink.
