The Vamps have contributed an original performance, also featured on the soundtrack. "As huge fans of Kung Fu Panda, we couldn't be more excited to be part of Kung Fu Panda 3!" said the band. "It's amazing that our own version of 'Kung Fu Fighting' will be heard everywhere around the world and it was an honor to be asked to put our spin on such an iconic song. Shooting the video was so much fun and we can't wait for everyone to see it!
The soundtrack includes "Try", the global theme song for the film, produced by Chinese musical icon Jay Chou and written by his protege Patrick Brasca. Performed by both Chou and Brasca, the song pays homage to both western and Chinese influences, with lyrics by Vincent Fang.
