Movie fans get ready to be enchanted! Disney just dropped the first official song from the upcoming live-action "Snow White" movie and it is sounding seriously magical. " Waiting on a Wish " is sung by none other than Rachel Zegler who plays Snow White herself and let me tell you her vocals are giving full Disney Princess vibes.
"Waiting on a Wish" Song Drop: Rachel Zegler's Ballad and First Look at Live-Action Snow White's World
If you had any doubts about Rachel Zegler as a Disney Princess this song will definitely change your mind. She already wowed us in "West Side Story" and "The Hunger Games" but "Waiting on a Wish" feels like her official coronation into the Disney royalty. This power ballad is written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul the duo behind "The Greatest Showman" and they have truly created something special.
This new song actually takes inspiration from the classic "I'm Wishing" from the original animated "Snow White" but it takes things to a more modern and empowered level. It’s a gorgeous track and the music video gives us our first real peek at the live-action movie ’s visuals. Think dreamy cottage-core fantasy that feels like a beautiful tribute to the classic 1937 animation. We are getting fairytale vibes for sure.
And yes for all you romance fans out there the video teases a possible prince charming and even a hint of a kiss! So don't worry the movie is not shying away from the love story aspect of Snow White. It looks like they are aiming for a balance of classic fairytale and fresh elements.
Beyond the Animation: New Visuals and Hints of a Deeper Snow White Story Unveiled
The "Waiting on a Wish" video is not just about the music it is also dropping hints about the movie itself. The visuals suggest that this live-action version will go beyond just retelling the animated classic. We see glimpses of Snow White’s family connections and what looks like a deeper backstory which is intriguing.
And let's talk about Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. She looks absolutely amazing and deliciously malicious just like a proper fairytale villain should. We also get a better look at the prince figure and how he might fit into Snow White's journey. The video definitely leaves us wanting to know more about these characters and this world.
Speaking of romance the video teases a kiss which is good news for fairytale fans. Hopefully it will feel earned within the story and not just tacked on. And let's be honest if there's a poisoned apple involved consent is definitely key before any smooch happens!
"I Want" Song Magic: Is "Waiting on a Wish" a Sign of a Killer Snow White Soundtrack?
If "Waiting on a Wish" is any indication the "Snow White" soundtrack is going to be fantastic. This "I want" song is a classic Disney trope and Zegler and the songwriters nailed it. It’s the kind of tune you can imagine belting out in the shower or adding to your Disney playlist immediately.
The original animated "Snow White" only had six songs so this movie is definitely expanding on the musical side of things. Hopefully we will get some amazing duets in the film too. Romance girlies have been waiting for a new iconic Disney duet for ages maybe this movie will deliver a 2025 version of "One Song". Fingers crossed for more tracks soon because "Waiting on a Wish" has us hooked!
