What is the title of the song in The Lego Movie 2 that parodies the first?

The song in The Lego Movie 2 that parodies the first film’s hit is “Everything’s Not Awesome.” It deliberately twists the upbeat message of “Everything Is Awesome” into a darker, more pessimistic sequel song.

The original song became the signature musical number of The Lego Movie, celebrating conformity, teamwork, and relentless positivity. In the sequel, the characters sing “Everything’s Not Awesome” as their LEGO world has become damaged and their lives are far less cheerful. The changed title signals that the sequel is questioning the first film’s simple optimism.

The song appears on The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part soundtrack and is performed by The Lego Movie Cast. It is easy to confuse this title with “Catchy Song,” another sequel number designed to imitate the earworm quality of the first movie’s song. “Catchy Song” is a separate track, while “Everything’s Not Awesome” is the direct title parody.
