My Little Pony Friendship is Magic features various songs throughout the show as a theatrical element or simply woven into the regular narrative. This is a trend that has been in the My Little Pony television shows/direct-to-DVD films ever since Generation 1. The songs' lyrics on this wiki were transcribed by ear or from closed captions and their titles are taken from Daniel Ingram's Facebook page when available; otherwise, they are guesses or general descriptions. As of season three, the song titles are taken from their appearance in the credits. All songs were composed by Daniel Ingram, with the exception of the songs: "Hop Skip and Jump", "Evil Enchantress", "I'm at the Grand Galloping Gala", "Pony Pokey" and "The rappin' Hist'ry of the Wonderbolts", which were composed by score composer William Anderson.
Selected songs from seasons one and two were made available in an official soundtrack album on iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon.
Selected songs from seasons three and four were further made available in another official soundtrack album on iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon.
An official soundtrack album containing nine songs from My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks was released on September 10, 2014 on iTunes.
Two versions of an official gramophone record soundtrack album were released on September 16, 2014 at Hot Topic.
Another official soundtrack album containing five songs from My Little Pony Equestria Girls was released on September 23, 2014 on iTunes.
An official compact disc soundtrack album was released on October 28, 2014 at Walmart.
An official compact disc single was released on November 14, 2014 at Walmart Canada.
An official EDM remix album was expected to release sometime in the fall of 2014,[1] but has yet to be released.
Select remaining songs from the first four seasons were made available in another soundtrack album available on iTunes.
Daniel Ingram stated that the songs Life is a Runway, Friendship Through the Ages, and My Past is Not Today will likely be released with the next Equestria Girls album later in 2015.[2]
On April 13, 2015, in regards to the songs from Pinkie Pride (with the exception of Make a Wish), Ingram stated "they will be released eventually (as far as I know), on a separate compilation."[3]

On October 1, 2013, Daniel Ingram tweeted "Recording with ponies and @Steflang pic.twitter.com/oDMohzpMsr"[6] and Stef Lang tweeted in reply "“@dannyimusic: Recording with ponies and @Steflang pic.twitter.com/yKgd2HABUw” I'm a pony! I'm a pony!"[7] On July 8, 2014, Ingram was asked "Per this @dannyimusic tweet last October (twitter.com/dannyimusic/st…), did we ever find out which #MyLittlePony song @Steflang worked on? :-)" and replied "not yet... But you will soon :)".[8]
On January 12, 2015, Daniel Ingram tweeted "@EquestriaDaily I have a challenge to all MLP fans out there! What are all Pinkie Pie's favorite THINGS in the world? #mysterysong".[9]
As hinted in late November 2014[10] and specified in March 2015, Gabriel C. Brown, aka "BlackGryph0n", is "singing in the choir"—he does "not have a speaking roll[sic] in MLP" and his "oc is NOT in the show."[11] An annoucement earlier in March 2015 stated that Brown has "officially joined the MLP team, having recorded vocals with Daniel Ingram on several 2015 songs"[12][13]—however, some postings of this announcement[14][15] had this sentence removed[16][17] later in March 2015.[18]
Other musical elements
In addition to background music, several musical pieces have been used in the show that are not counted as full songs, according to "The Musical Pony" complete song lyrics in Little Brown's official My Little Pony Friendship is Magic guidebook My Little Pony: The Elements of Harmony. These include:
