Warning: this article contains spoilers for Dog ManThe first DreamWorks animated film to be released in 2025 was Dog Man, an animated adaptation of the beloved children’s graphic novel series, which was made as a spinoff of the equally beloved Captain Underpants. As Dog Man was mostly made with children in mind, the film boasts a lot of upbeat and energetic music, helping to shape the tone of the movie, which is heavily juxtaposed with a lot of the more somber pieces, that help make Dog Man‘s cast shine in the darker moments.

The film obviously has its own orchestral score, which is very solid, but Dog Man also includes a number of additional songs, some of which were made specifically for the movie, but also a handful of songs by artists outside the Dog Man universe, from musicians such as Hank Williams, Miley Cyrus, and john Mayer. The film isn’t stuffed to the brim with licensed music like some other animated movies, so the ones that are included make a stronger impression due to their scarcity.

When Every Song On The Dog Man Soundtrack Plays In The Movie

Dog Man Spreads Out Its Licensed Music Throughout The Film

“I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” by Hank Williams: This is the first song to play during the movie, and it comes at a very understandable time, during the scene when Dog Man is forced off the Petey case by the mayor. He plays the song on a phonograph, letting the record spin before quickly beginning to howl along with the lyrics as he gets ready to go to bed, before the song cuts off abruptly.

“Flowers” by Miley Cyrus: This song comes soon after the previous, the morning after Dog Man is taken off the Petey case, playing on the radio. Dog Man eats breakfast alongside this piece of music, and seeing as “Flowers” is a song about being comfortable being alone, it is just as apt as the previous piece.

“Science Daughter Dance” by Tom Howe and Emanuel “Vo” Williams: This piece is an original, created for the movie, with Tom Howe being the composer for Dog Man and Emanuel Williams being an artist hired for this rap song in particular. This song appears when a scientist is presenting her work on the body of Flippy the Fish, and shows off a dance video her daughter made at the start of the presentation, hence the track’s name.

​

“All Fur One” by Peter Hastings: Peter Hastings is the director of Dog Man, who apparently decided to add his vocal talents to the film as well. “All Fur One” is played when Petey and Dog Man team up to save Li’l Petey from Flippy, appearing alongside a fake TV show тιтle sequence parody, starring Dog Man and Petey, called “All Fur One.”

“Love is a Verb” by John Mayer: John Mayer’s “Love is a Verb” plays near the end of the film, after Petey brings Li’l Petey over to Dog Man’s house, allowing him to spend the night with his best friend. Petey then leaves and begins to do good things purely because he wants to, returning to Dog Man and Li’l Petey with a flower in hand, cementing the bond between the trio.

“SUPA GOOD!!! (From Dog Man)” by Yung Gravy (Feat. James Brown): This song is another original composition for Dog Man, acting as a sort of theme song that plays over the credits. The song heavily samples James Brown’s classic hit “I Got You (I Feel Good),” with a lot of the lyrics acting as a riff off of that song.

Where To Listen To Dog Man’s Soundtrack

The OST Is Available To Stream, But The Original Songs Aren’t

Dog Man‘s soundtrack has been released on all the major digital streaming platforms, such as Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, and Amazon, which mainly includes the orchestral score. The song “SUPA GOOD!!!” was released as a single by Yung Gravy before the rest of the film’s music, and is the only song on this list that is featured in the official soundtrack for the film. The licensed songs are naturally available through their respective artists’ platforms, but revisiting Dog Man‘s original songs other than “SUPA GOOD!!!” will seemingly still have to wait.
