The Cheetah Girls is the original motion picture soundtrack to the 2003 Walt Disney Pictures movie The Cheetah Girls. It was released on August 12, 2003 on compact disc by Walt Disney Records and Columbia Records. The album was produced by Antonina Armato, Ray Cham, Tim James and executive produced by Debra Martin Chase and Whitney Houston. The album features appearances from Sonic Chaos, Char, Hope 7 and Christi Mac.
The album was certified Double Platinum in the United States on June 7, 2005 after selling more than 2 million copies in the US alone. It is one of the biggest selling albums from Walt Disney Records ever, along with the High School Musical soundtrack.
A special edition titled "The Cheetah Girls - Special Edition Soundtrack" was released on June 22, 2004, featuring two brand new remixes of "Cinderella" and "Girl Power" with eight karaoke tracks. On December 25, 2006, the original soundtrack was released digitally to the iTunes store in the United Kingdom.
Johnny Loftus from Allmusic reviewed the album stating "From the Disney Channel comes a TV movie adaptation of Deborah Gregory's Cheetah Girls book series. It's the continuing adventures of a smart, sassy singing group as they make their way in the pop music world with nothing but their wits and musical chops to guide them. Along the way, they live a little, rock a little, and learn a lot." Common Sense Media's review of the album complimented The Cheetah Girls' singing, but called the production "prefabricated" and generally disapproved of the musical presentation.
