TVGuide.com reports that a new, full-length version of the catchy tune 'Getaway', heard throughout the newest season of Netflix's ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, will be part of an upcoming soundtrack. The show's composer David Schwartz confirms to the site that the project, currently in production, will include songs from all four seasons of the comedy series.

Below, get a first listen to the single, 'Getaway'!

Says Schwartz of the the tune, "The joke of that is, for a composer, it's always a challenge of how can we make bad music in some way fun and likable?. That's always your evil plan. I'm glad it has some fans out there. There are other verses we didn't use, so we'll see what we can come up with."

As far as which songs will make it on to the soundtrack, Schwartz revealed that he hopes to include an expanded version of "Balls in the Air," the "power anthem" from Season 3. "There are hundreds of pieces [that could wind up on the soundtrack], but I think I've cut it down to 40 or 50 so far," he says. "I've received so many requests and now I'm trying to whittle it down."

The soundtrack will be available in iTunes, but Schwartz is hoping it will also make it to a pressed on vinyl version.

Netflix premiered its highly-anticipated fourth season of Arrested Development on Sunday, May 26, 2013. All 15-episodes of the Emmy Award-winning comedy from series creator/executive producer Mitchell Hurwitz were made available for members to watch instantly at launch.

Arrested Development centers around Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) and his eccentric family comprised of his son George Michael (Michael Cera), his father George Bluth Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor), his mother Lucille (Jessica Walter), his brothers George Oscar Bluth II (Will Arnett), Buster Bluth (Tony Hale) and sister Lindsay Funke (PORTIA DE ROSSI), and Lindsay's husband Tobias (David Cross) and their daughter Maeby (Alia Shawkat).
