Set for release on November 18, the Moana original motion picture soundtrack features seven original songs and a full original score, plus two reprises as well as two end-credit versions of songs from the film.

Also featured on the soundtrack are Alessia Cara, Lin-Manuel Miranda and many more.

The team behind the Moana soundtrack includes Tony and Grammy winning songwriter/composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, three-time Grammy-winning composer Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa'i, the founder and lead singer of Te Vaka, a winner of numerous world music awards.

"How Far I'll Go" is Moana's song written by Miranda and is performed in the film by newcomer Auli'i Cravalho. The end-credit version of the song is performed by Alessia Cara.

Her album Know-It-All featured multi-platinum singles "Here" and "Wild Things," plus the critically-acclaimed single "Scars to Your Beautiful." Cara is a Juno Award winner for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and is a 2016 American Music Award nominee for New Artist of the Year.

She recently completed a tour with Coldplay.

Written by Miranda and performed by Dwayne Johnson in the film, "You're Welcome" showcases the colorful personality of Maui.

Hollywood Records artist Jordan Fisher teams up with Miranda for the end-credit version of "You're Welcome." After a breakout performance in the Emmy Award-winning production of Grease: Live, Jordan Fisher released his debut single, "All About Us," which soared to the top of the Billboard Pop charts.

For centuries, the greatest sailors in the world masterfully navigated the vast Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, 3,000 years ago, their voyages stopped for a millennium - and no one knows exactly why.

From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes Moana, a CG-animated feature film about an adventurous teenager who is inspired to leave the safety and security of her island on a daring journey to save her people.

Inexplicably drawn to the ocean, Moana (voice of Auli?i Cravalho) convinces the mighty demigod Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson) to join her mission, and he reluctantly helps her become a wayfinder like her ancestors who sailed before her.

Together, they voyage across the open ocean on an action-packed adventure, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills her quest and discovers the one thing she's always sought: her own identity.

The Moana soundtrack has been released for pre-order and a digital pre-order will be available Friday, Oct. 28. Walt Disney Animation Studios' Moana opens in U.S. theaters on Nov. 23.
