Music for the first four seasons was composed by 有澤孝紀. Most of the openings and a few of the battle/evolution songs for these season were performed by 和田光司, and many of the ending theme songs were by 前田愛 (noteable as the voice actress for the character Mimi in Digimon Adventure) as AiM. Music for Digimon Savers was composed by 奥慶一. A soundtrack for the English language dub of the first three movies (edited together to be one feature length movie) was also released and features various artists. The soundtrack also featured many songs used in the English dub of the first two series.

Ima sugu kimi ni ai ni yukou
Yokei na koto nante wasureta hou ga mashi sa
Kore ijou shareteru jikan wa nai
Nani ga wow wow wow wow wow kono sora ni todoku no darou
Dakedo wow wow wow wow wow ashita no yotei mo wakaranai

Stay shigachi na imeeji darake no tayorinai tsubasa demo
Kitto toberu sa on my love
Ukareta chou ni natte ichizu na kaze ni notte

The lyrics to Digimon's song Butterfly express the idea of the limitless possibilities of dreams, the power of love and the determination to overcome obstacles in order to achieve those dreams. The first verse sets the tone of the song with "Gokigen na chou ni natte kirameku kaze ni notte," meaning "Becoming a happy butterfly and riding on the sparkling wind," and then continues with "Ima sugu kimi ni ai ni yukou," meaning "Let's immediately go see you." The second verse emphasizes the idea of forgetting unnecessary things and making the most of our time in the present moment.
The chorus repeats "Nani ga wow wow wow wow wow kono sora ni todoku no darou" with the phrase "wow wow wow" representing the endless possibilities of the future and the great unknown. The singer contemplates what will reach the sky and wonders about tomorrow's plans. The third verse speaks of the difficulties and uncertainties that come with pursuing one's dreams, but reassures the listener that even with a mediocre foundation, they can still succeed if they have a strong desire to do so. The phrase "Stay shigachi na imeeji darake no tayorinai tsubasa demo Kitto toberu sa on my love" translates to "Even with unstable and image-covered untrusty wings, surely we'll be able to fly with love."
