Production

After a successful run with localized versions in France and Australia, David Foster decided to produce a new compilation album for the United States market.[3] During development, Foster created a wish list of American music artists for the album.[4] Foster often choose the song he felt fit the artist's style and vocal abilities, although several artists, such as Ariana Grande, Jason Derulo, and Kacey Musgraves began with different songs before ultimately settling on their eventual selections.[4] Lucy Hale was suggested at Disney's behest, as Hale also appears on the company's Hollywood Records roster.[4]

We Love Disney is a co-production between Verve Records and Walt Disney Records, with Universal Music Group providing worldwide distribution and marketing from Disney Music Group, alongside Universal.[5]

Release

The album's release date was announced on August 14, 2015 at Disney's D23 Expo, where Ne-Yo performed "Friend Like Me" as part of the company's tribute to Robin Williams, who performed the original song in the film.[3] A music video for Ne-Yo's cover was released on October 1, 2015.[6] Later that year, Derulo, Grande, Kelly, Perry, and Aiko performed their selections from their album at the 2015 Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade.
