Tyler Childers and Ella Langley Feature on Massive 29-Track Hunger Games Prequel Soundtrack

The official tracklist for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping includes original tracks from Tyler Childers, Ella Langley, Stephen Wilson Jr, Carter Faith, and Kashus Culpepper alongside rock and pop icons.

Lionsgate and the music team behind the franchise have assembled a massive 29-track collection for the upcoming film.

The official project is titled The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (The Album).

Fans will not have to wait until theatrical release day to hear the full project.

The entire soundtrack is scheduled to arrive on Friday, November 13.

The feature film itself will premiere in theaters one week later on November 20.

Music has long served as a vital emotional pillar across the entire dystopian franchise.

Now, a heavy wave of country and Americana talent takes center stage for this latest chapter.

RETURN TO THE SECOND QUARTER QUELL

The upcoming movie plunges audiences back into the history of Panem.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping will “revisit the world of Panem 24 years before the events of The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell,” according to IMDb.

The storyline centers on an era well before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute.

Director Francis Lawrence returns to helm the project.

Lawrence previously guided multiple installments across the cinematic series.

The story is adapted directly from author Suzanne Collins' 2025 novel.

It expands the franchise lore following the original trilogy and the recent prequel installment.

The cinematic universe previously visited Panem's past in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

That earlier prequel originated as a novel in 2020 before arriving on the big screen in 2023.

This new chapter steps into Panem during a crucial milestone in Capitol history.

Cast members listed for the upcoming production include McKenna Grace, Jennifer Lawrence, and Joseph Zada.

COUNTRY STARS TAKE CENTER STAGE

Country and roots music artists feature prominently across the official 29-song tracklist.

Tyler Childers delivers a cut titled "Old Money" at Track 24.

Langley contributes a new selection titled "Here Then We're Gone."

Grammy Award winner Kacey Musgraves also claims a major spot on the project.

Musgraves appears at Track 10 with "Ruthless (Arena Mix)."

The arena mix framing hints at the tension within the Capitol's deadly games.

Musgraves remains active across major music events, having also been announced to headline the 2027 Under the Big Sky Festival in Montana.
