ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Soundtrack

A soundtrack is like the music that plays in a movie or TV show. Think about when you watch your favorite movie or cartoon, and you hear music in the background. That music is the soundtrack!

Soundtracks can be made up of different types of music, like songs with lyrics or instrumental music without words. The people who make the soundtrack try to choose music that will match the mood or feeling of the scene in the movie or show. So if the scene is sad, they might choose a slow and sad song, and if the scene is happy, they might choose an upbeat and joyful song.

Sometimes, famous musicians will even write songs just for a movie or TV show, and those songs become part of the soundtrack. You can also listen to a soundtrack outside of watching the movie or TV show, like on your favorite music app or on a CD.

Overall, a soundtrack is like the special music that makes a movie or TV show even more fun and exciting to watch!
