AllMusic	[1]

Freaky Friday is the soundtrack album to the 2003 Disney film of the same name which features songs by various artists. AllMusic called the album a "mixed bag", ^[1] specifically praising American Hi-Fi's "The Art of Losing", The Donnas' "Backstage", Andrew W.K.'s "She Is Beautiful", and Joey Ramone's "What a Wonderful World", while strongly criticizing the rest of the album. Girls Aloud recorded the track "You Freak Me Out" for the film but it was ultimately not included in the project, and instead appeared on the re-release of their debut album later that year. ^[2]

The album was certified gold by the RIAA in December 2003 for shipping over 500,000 copies.
