The Cheetah Girls 2 is the soundtrack to the Disney Channel Original Movie of the same name. The songs are a diverse blend of pop, R&B, Latin, and dance-pop.

The album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 87,000 copies, becoming the highest-peaking album for the group and their first album to reach the U.S. top ten.
