The lyrics remind me so much of “This Is Me.” I had high hopes, but to me it just sounds like another “Never gonna cut me down! Can’t silence me! Gonna March to the beat of my own drum!” ballad with a pop beat. I appreciate the idea of a bolder, resistant Jasmine... but I wish it were more thoughtful. Really I wish Howard Ashman were still around to write the lyrics :/
Still looking forward to seeing it and I’m happy that early reports are decent!
I think they can write in different styles (look at A Christmas Story), but they’re asked not too. Let’s get real, they’re very popular, so why wouldn’t Disney want a Pasek and Paul pop hit?!
