"It Roars," "Where Do You Belong?," "Fearless," "Stop," "What's Wrong With Me? (Reprise)," "Whose House Is This?," "More Is Better," and “Do This Thing” do not appear in the film. “We had a very limited budget, it couldn't be too long, and there were already 13 songs,” Perez explains.

There were 10 songs that were not fully included in the remake, such as “It Roars”, “Where Do You Belong?”, and the full version of “Meet The Plastics”, which has intros for both Gretchen and Karen in addition to Regina.
