Footloose: Music from the Motion Picture, the original soundtrack for the 2011 remake of Footloose, was released by Atlantic Records and Warner Music Nashville on September 27, 2011. It includes eight new songs and four remakes of songs from the original film's soundtrack.[1] "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins was covered by Blake Shelton for the remake, which is an upbeat country version.[2] The film opens with several teens dancing to Loggins's original version of the song. Like the original film, the 2011 version also features "Bang Your Head (Metal Health)" by the heavy metal band Quiet Riot and the original "Let's Hear It for the Boy", which are not on the soundtrack album. A cover of "Almost Paradise", performed by Victoria Justice and Hunter Hayes, was released on September 22, 2011.[3][4]
