All 11 Snow White Songs In Disney’s Live-Action Remake, Ranked Worst To Best

Warning: This article contains spoilers for 2025’s Snow White.Disney’s long-anticipated live-action Snow White movie has finally arrived in theaters and introduces audiences to a new soundtrack consisting of both original and nostalgic songs, reminiscent of the animated classic. Adapted from the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, Snow White is the live-action remake of Disney’s first full-length animated movie released in 1937, which, more than 80 years later, still may be the best Disney Princess movie. The live-action movie marks several significant changes from the animated Snow White, including providing a new love interest for the titular princess.

Snow White‘s cast features Rachel Zegler as the princess and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, with different songs that reflect the dreams and desires of both characters. The soundtrack of Snow White showcases new tunes composed by Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, and Jack Feldman, including “Good Things Grow” and “A Hand Meets A Hand,” while also revisiting classics composed by Frank Churchill and Larry Morey, like “Whistle While You Work” and “Heigh-Ho.” While some songs stood out in the story, others flew under the radar and didn’t fare as well with listeners.

The Silly Song

Composers: Frank Churchill & Larry Morey

Custom Image by Lukas Shayo

“The Silly Song” is one of several songs from the 1937 picture that made its way onto the remake’s soundtrack. Also known as “The Dwarfs’ Yodel Song,” it was originally composed by Frank Churchill and Larry Morey, who received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Score in 1938. “The Silly Song” is a nonsensical and catchy tune that the dwarfs perform while throwing a party celebrating Snow White’s arrival in their cottage.

How Every Snow White Character Looks In Live-Action vs Animation

Disney has brought another of its animated classics to life with a live-action remake of Snow White, but how do each of the main characters compare?

Posts

The remake includes several new characters in the party segment and takes place after Doc (Jeremy Swift) treats Jonathan (Andrew Burnap) for a severe injury. While it carries the same catchy tune, “The Silly Song” is the worst track merely because the remake only features the chorus to make way for Snow White and Jonathan’s romantic interaction. Given the song’s presence in the original, it’s disappointing that the remake failed to give the seven dwarfs the chance to fully showcase their musical skills.

All Is Fair (Reprise)

Composers: Benj Pasek & Justin Paul

Close

With a musical reprise, the Evil Queen transforms herself into a withered old woman and dips an apple in poison. While brief, the reprise of “All Is Fair” is a great reflection on the Evil Queen’s true dark nature and the risks she is willing to take to be seen by her kingdom as the fairest in the land. Lyrics including “age me old as mummy dust” and “a voice as creaky as a cackle” pay tribute to her transformation in the original movie. The reprise also allows the Queen to believe that everything will turn out the way she wants, through “just one bite.“

Good Things Grow (Finale)

Composers: Benj Pasek & Justin Paul

“Good Things Grow (Finale)” plays during the ending of Snow White, which depicts the Evil Queen meeting her demise through her precious Magic Mirror, and Snow White reclaiming her title as ruler of the land. Snow White eventually marries Jonathan, and the finale sees them celebrating both their wedding and the kingdom’s new unity. The reprise of the movie’s opening song plays at a moment when the kingdom has been restored to its former glory before the rule of the Evil Queen and perfectly conveys the happy ending.

The movie’s final number maintains the positive message of the opening song while offering a sense of a new beginning for the kingdom with Snow White as its queen. Its usage of the lyrics “for we reap what we sow, by the lessons we know” symbolizes the trials and challenges that each character had to overcome to discover their true destiny and serves as a fitting conclusion to Snow White’s journey, from banished princess to fair and true queen.

All Is Fair

Composers: Benj Pasek & Justin Paul

Close

Although the Evil Queen is ranked as one of Disney’s best villains, up until the remake, she was never given her own “villain song” to further explore her character. “All Is Fair,” one of the several new songs, allows the notorious Evil Queen the chance to express herself and explain to viewers why being “fairest of them all” is important to her. The song is performed by Gal Gadot, in the first villain role of her career, after the Evil Queen discovers that her plan didn’t work as she hoped.

“All Is Fair” works in terms of showing audiences the queen’s perspective on what she thinks it takes to rule and her belief that being nice will not get you anywhere.

From a lyrical viewpoint, “All Is Fair” works in terms of showing audiences the queen’s perspective on what she thinks it takes to rule and her belief that being nice will not get you anywhere. However, it’s not ranked as high as the song’s overall performance in the movie, with backup dancers and a bleak setting, didn’t fully match up with a villain as cruel and vicious as the Evil Queen. While Gadot’s performance is decent, the song works better when heard on its own.

7

A Hand Meets A Hand

Composers: Benj Pasek, Justin Paul & Lizzy McAlpine

“A Hand Meets A Hand” is performed during the party at the dwarfs’ cottage, serving as the love ballad of the movie, thus replacing “Someday My Prince Will Come” from the original. In the first act of the movie, Snow White and Jonathan have a conflicting relationship, with different ideas on how to fight the Evil Queen. However, during the party, the pair begins to see themselves and each other in a different light and come to realize that their feelings for one another are stronger than they believed.

The character of Jonathan, played by Andrew Burnap, was created for the live-action movie, replacing the unnamed prince from the animated adaptation.

“A Hand Meets A Hand” does well in showing how both Snow White and Jonathan have changed since their first meeting, and how they aspire each other to continue to grow as people. Additionally, both Rachel Zegler and Andrew Burnap have solo performances, which perfectly showcase their talents and help build the romantic relationship between their characters. The song’s only fault is at its conclusion in the movie when Snow White and Jonathan’s near-kiss is interrupted by the rest of the party.

Waiting On A Wish (Reprise) / Snow White Returns

Composers: Benj Pasek & Justin Paul

Throughout the movie, Snow White is determined to find her lost father, whom she believes will restore peace to the land. It’s not until she’s poisoned by the Queen that it’s revealed what really happened to Snow White’s father, which she reveals to the dwarfs and Jonathan after he wakes her from the Sleeping Death. Although Snow White is heartbroken to learn the truth, it strengthens her resolve to fight the queen and take back her kingdom, as shown in the reprise of “Waiting On A Wish.”

The brief reprise of Snow White’s “I Want” song shows how much she has grown since the beginning of the movie. Rather than wait around for something to happen, Snow White now recognizes that it is “time to lead and not be led” and become the woman her parents knew she’d be. When Snow White eventually returns to the kingdom, slowly all the townspeople put down their tools and join her in walking to the castle’s gates, showing that they will no longer remain silent, and they will all stand up for what they believe in.

Princess Problems

Composers: Benj Pasek & Justin Paul

Snow White first meets Jonathan when she catches him stealing potatoes from the castle kitchens and later sets him free after he is tied to the gates. It’s not until after her meeting with the dwarfs that she encounters Jonathan again in the woods along with his group of bandits. Jonathan expresses his surprise at the princess outside the castle and questions her about her experiences with the outside world. Their quips lead into the song “Princess Problems,” one of two songs in the movie which Zegler and Burnap perform as a duet.

The song perfectly highlights the character differences between Snow White and Jonathan in a humorous and entertaining manner.

Another one of the original additions, the song perfectly highlights the character differences between Snow White and Jonathan in a humorous and entertaining manner. Both characters tease each other throughout the sequence, with Jonathan commenting on Snow White seeing the harsh realities of life under the Evil Queen’s reign, while Snow White remarks on Jonathan’s pessimistic outlook on life. “Princess Problems” is a new catchy tune that hints at the chemistry between the two characters, which is further explored later in the movie.

Whistle While You Work

Original Composers: Frank Churchill & Larry Morey

Close

Like “The Silly Song,” “Whistle While You Work” was brought over from the animated classic and given a modern update. The remake makes significant changes in terms of lyrics and its setting in the story. In the animated movie, “Whistle While You Work” is when Snow White first arrives at the dwarfs’ cottage and tidies it up with the animals’ help. In the live-action version, the song is performed after her first meeting with the dwarfs, and she recruits their help to clean up the cottage after they end up in a fight.

Despite the many controversies surrounding Disney’s Snow White, a more light-hearted topic of debate pertains simply to the proper plural of “dwarf.”

Posts

The inclusion of the dwarfs works brilliantly in the remake’s updated version of the song, as it fleshes out their characters and helps them learn a lesson in cooperation and friendship. The song also includes many comedic moments as the dwarfs resolve their differences while Snow White teaches them how to whistle and enjoy the value of work. While the lyrics are changed, the tune still carries the same up-tempo beat that makes it a standout moment of the movie and showcases the level of trust that has grown between the characters.

Good Things Grow

Composers: Benj Pasek & Justin Paul

The live-action remake heavily elaborates upon the plot of the animated movie, including further exploring Snow White’s origins and her early life with her parents. Viewers are shown her childhood as princess of the kingdom and how she learns the value of kindness from her parents. The opening song, “Good Things Grow”, shows Snow White and her parents being celebrated by the kingdom and depicts everybody living in happiness and harmony before the tragic death of the queen.

“Good Things Grow” is a great song to open up the movie as it gives audiences an idea of Snow White’s idyllic life as a princess.

“Good Things Grow” is a great song to open up the movie as it gives audiences an idea of Snow White’s idyllic life before her father married the Evil Queen. The song is performed in a reminiscent manner that visually reflects other popular songs from Disney Princess movies, including Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid. Using lyrics including “someone fearless, someone brave, someone fair, someone true,” the composers sew the seeds into Snow White’s eventual transformation into a strong ruler and set the stage for the rest of the story.

Heigh-Ho

Composers: Frank Churchill & Larry Morey

The seven dwarfs are first introduced to audiences in both animated and live-action movies with their signature song. They are shown to follow a strict routine of leaving their cottage early in the morning to go mine out jewels before returning home in the evening to start their routine again the next day. The dwarfs’ lifestyle is depicted through their performance of the song “Heigh-Ho,” composed by Frank Churchill and Larry Morey for the animated original.

Similar to other songs, the composers expanded “Heigh-Ho” for the remake, adding new lyrics and explaining the dwarfs’ duties in the mines. The extended version allows each dwarf to individually introduce themselves to viewers and, through a strong and energetic routine using their tools and carts, show how they extract jewels from the mines. While new lyrics are added, the extended version of “Heigh-Ho” remains strongly faithful to the original song’s rhythm. It serves as a great introduction to the seven dwarfs and is an excellent modern version of the iconic song.

Waiting on a Wish

Composers: Benj Pasek & Justin Paul

Close

After the king disappears, the Evil Queen rises to power and Snow White is demoted to a scullery maid in her own castle. As she grows up, Snow White longs to do something to fight back against her stepmother but isn’t sure what. Her mindset is shown through her solo performance of “Waiting On A Wish,” another original song. During the track, Snow White reflects on her parents’ life lessons and wonders what she can do to become “her father’s daughter” and be as strong as they believed her to be.

“Waiting On A Wish” serves as a new “I Want” song for Snow White, replacing the “I’m Wishing.” The lyrics better show Snow White’s desire to do what is right for her people and become the person she is meant to be, greatly expanding on her desire to simply find love. The song is also assisted by the phenomenal singing performance of Rachel Zegler, solidifying her skills as a Disney Princess. “Waiting On A Wish” offers a relatable message of finding one’s true path in life, making it the best song on the Snow White soundtrack.
