Notes

• The album cover provides an alternate title: Bumblebee (Music from the Motion Picture), but all streaming services and digital music stores use the (Motion Picture Soundtrack) moniker instead, thus the latter's use here.
• Songs not included on the album but featured in the movie:

• "Where Everybody Knows Your Name (Cheers Theme)" by Gary Portnoy when Shatter and Dropkick interrogate Cliffjumper.
• "All My Ex's Live in Texas" by George Strait plays as Roy and Amber argue at the gas station.
• "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley during the cassette tape scene.
• "Unchained Melody" by Sam Cooke when Charlie puts the record on in her garage, talking about her dad.
• "The Payback" by James Brown when Memo asks if Charlie wants revenge against Tina.
• "Weird Science" by Oingo Boingo, "Don't Mess With My Radio" by LL Cool J, and Walk Like a Man by The Four Seasons when Bumblebee is learning to talk to Charlie and Memo.
