[edit] Song Descriptions
- The Party's Just Begun: The Cheetah Girls (Raven-Symone, Kiely Williams, Sabrina Bryan, Adrienne Bailon) perform for the Manhattan Magnet High graduating class of 2006. It's the night before Summer Vacation and the girls know that "The Party's Just Begun".
- Strut: The girls are happy to be in Spain for the Music Festival and decide to "Strut" on the streets of Barcelona to "let them know that the Cheetah Girls have arrived". They sing the song while doing just that, with the help of a mysterious stranger (and his Spanish guitar), Angel.
- Dance With Me: When Dorinda meets Joaquin, they decide to help each other with the dance classes they're instructing. When Joaquin instructs Dorinda with Ballroom salsa dancing, the song "Dance With Me" starts playing.
- Why Wait: Spain's hottest singer Marisol (played by Belinda) performs one of her hit songs at a hot nightspot the Cheetahs attend. She sings "Why Wait" and says "the journey has just begun, so Why Wait?"
- A La Nanita Nana: After Marisol performs her song, The club decides to play one of the spanish lullabies Chanel had when she was little. Marisol and Chanel sing the song together while Chanel's fellow Cheetahs hum along and they all capture the crowd's attention.
- Do Your Own Thing: Performed by Raven Symone. When all the girls are caught up with their own activities and not concentrating on the festival (except for Galleria), this song plays, which has lines like "Do your own thing".
- It's Over: After all the girls are caught up in other things instead of the nearing festival, Galleria decides to just leave well enough alone and pack up her things to leave Spain. This upsets the girls and when Galleria is packing up her things the other girls decide to walk alone around the villa and sing "It's Over".
- Step Up: After the Cheetah Girls get back together, they decide to rehearse for the festival. So they decide to perform "Step Up" (with big bright letters that say CHEETAH GIRLS behind them) and they perform the song at the hot nightspot they went to before. However, they don't perform this song at the festival.
- Amigas Cheetahs: For their performance at the festival, the Cheetahs decide to perform a song Galleria came up with called "Amigas Cheetahs". The song has special meaning, as it is about the Cheetahs' special friendship (or sisterhood) and how their "friends for life". Marisol also performs with them and the song ends with them all walking off to the backstage.
- Cherish The Moment: This song is only featured in the Extended Version of the movie. It is at the end and we see Luc and Juanita get married. It is like a music video.
