Wonder (2017) Soundtrack: Every Song & When It Plays in the movie
Based on the New York Times bestseller, Wonder tells the incredibly inspiring and heartwarming story of August "Auggie" Pullman, a young boy with facial differences who enters a mainstream elementary school for the fifth grade after years of homeschooling. As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community struggle to find their compassion and acceptance, Auggie's extraordinary journey unites them all and proves you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.
The soundtrack for the 2017 family drama Wonder features an optimistic blend of acoustic indie pop, classic rock, and an emotional orchestral score. Composed by Marcelo Zarvos, the original score uses delicate piano melodies and warm string arrangements to underscore the emotional growth of the characters. Alongside his instrumental work, the film incorporates popular licensed tracks, highlighted by The White Stripes' childhood anthem "We're Going to Be Friends" and Natalie Merchant's classic song "Wonder."
Directed by Stephen Chbosky, the film follows a young boy named Auggie Pullman as he transitions to public school, with the narrative told from multiple perspectives, including his sister Via and classmate Jack Will. The music plays a key role in representing these shifting points of view and the characters' inner feelings. Notable musical moments are set to Bruce Springsteen's live rendition of "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" during a winter scene, Passion Pit's energetic "Moth's Wings," and Bea Miller's promotional track "Brand New Eyes."

By balancing Marcelo Zarvos' subtle, piano-driven score with diverse tracks like Caroline Pennell's gentle cover of "We're Going to Be Friends," the soundtrack captures both the vulnerability of childhood and the strength found in community. It remains a resonant compilation that elevates the film's message of empathy and kindness.
