Release and singles[edit]

The EP version of the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was released on December 18, 2012, in iTunes and physically as a Target exclusive. The EP contains four tracks that are performed by other rival groups of the Barden Bellas and the Treblemakers.

More from Pitch Perfect was released on June 4, 2013. It contains eight tracks that are featured in the film, as well as the pop version of "Cups." The Anna Kendrick & Brittany Snow duet of "Titanium" was not included on the soundtrack and is only available in the film.

The Ultimate Edition version of the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was released on February 10, 2015, to coincide with the release of Pitch Perfect 2. It contains all 24 tracks from the previous three releases (Original, Special Edition, and More From).

A remixed and longer version of "Cups" by Kendrick was released to radio on March 26, 2013, and was later used as a theme song for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup football tournament.[1] In August 2013, the song peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100.
