Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memorymay seem like a simple rhythm game spin-off to some, but fans are still very excited for its release. Aside fromcontinuing the narrative and possibly setting up future plot developments, it looks to be a celebration of the franchise’s incredible library of music.
Melody of Memorywill come with over 140 songs from across the whole series, from the originalKingdom Heartsto the more recentKingdom Hearts 3. Most of of the game’s soundtrack is still a mystery, but we know quite a few music tracks already. After scouring every trailer and both the English and Japanese official websites, here all 42 songs that have been confirmed, in alphabetical order, as well as their origins and how some of them will be featured.

A Day in Agrabah
Eachworld in theKingdom Heartsserieshas a unique field theme which plays when Sora is exploring his surroundings. In case the name of the track didn’t give it away, this track is from theAladdinworld, Agrabah, which first appeared in the first game.
InMoM, it will serve as one ofthe Field Battles, where a party of three battles waves of enemies in time to the music.
A Very Small Wish
Another field theme from the first game, this plays whilst visiting Monstro, the giant whale fromPinocchiothat managed to escape its world’s destruction and drift through the space between worlds.
All for One
Every world also has their own battle theme, used for when Sora and friends engage enemies like the Heartless in battle. All for One comes from 3DS titleKingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distanceand plays in Country of the Musketeers, a world based on the direct-to-video movieMickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers.
This will be used for a Field Battle and is, so far, the only confirmedDream Drop Distancetrack.
Another Side -Battle Ver.-
This track technically first appeared in the first game’s secret ending, but it received a slight remake forKingdom Hearts 358/2 Daysand served as the backdrop for that game’s final boss fight between Roxas and Riku.
InMoM, it’s another Field Battle, though one with Roxas fighting regular enemies alongside his friends, Axel and Xion, so boss tracks won’t always be associated with boss battles in this game.
Arabian Dream
Agrabah’s battle theme from the firstKingdom Heartswill also be making an appearance. Both it and its field theme received remade versions when the world returned inKingdom Hearts 2, but we don’t know if those versions will be included.
Bustin' Up on the Beach
A battle theme from the first game, this only appears on Destiny Islands during the optional fights against Riku,Tidus, Wakka, and Selphieat the beginning of the game.
Darkness of the Unknown
Kingdom Hearts 2’s final boss music. This played during Sora and Riku’s last battle with Xemnas. While that fight had multiple phases, only the final phase has been recreated for one ofMoM’s boss battlesand sees Sora teaming up with Donald and Goofy instead to battle Xemnas. Seeing Sora redoing this fight in his attire from the first game is also a tad surreal.
Dearly Beloved
Dearly Beloved has appeared in every game to date, with a new rendition always playing on the main menu screen.MoMis no exception and will have a much jazzier and upbeat version of the song for its main menu. Whether it or any of the previous versions of the track will appear in the main game itself is unknown.
Destati
Another recurring piece of music, Destati has made regular appearances in other music tracks as well. It first appeared in the originalKingdom Heartsduring the opening Dive into the Heart segment, specifically for the few fights that took place.
It will be used for a Field Battle and, interestingly, the version included inMoMappears to be from the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour album, which suggests that music won’t just be drawn from the games.
Destiny Islands
The first song confirmed for the game, Destiny Islands is that world’s field theme from the first game and will appear as a Field Battle.
