Rachel Zegler Sings "The Way It Was Before" In the Booth | Spellbound | Netflix

[@mai.vancon]

Wow. She actually made her voice higher to sound like a kid singing. That's actually impressive. ❤👏

[@danielgudinojuarez6729]

I'm just upset why did Zegler wanted to be in a film executive produce by a creep who is better off in jail for life!!! Moana 2 doesn't look too bad now does it?

[@GalaxyRoyal]

First time in history that Alan Menken composed the *I Want* song outside of Disney but instead on Netflix! This is how Disney Wish should’ve been if Alan Menken composed songs for Asha.

[@danielgudinojuarez6729]

Dude, just stop!!! Wish is just forgettable, move on

[@GalaxyRoyal]

Well Wish may not be perfect but the deleted scenes were way better. This is how Disney 100 should’ve been with that new *I Want* song for the main character.

[@josephmonasky9495]

Why don't you people just move on from all the Wish hate?

[@stellangios]

@@josephmonasky9495 People screamed for ages for disney to do "something original" and "do more 2d animated" and then they did, so people needed something new to scream about. They have to scream mindlessly at Disney for something, right? They can't ever be chill or satisfied or even just mildly disappointed. When your whole identity is unhinged shrieking, you gotta find *something* to cling to, bless

[@ladysockington9579]

It's not the first time? Alan Menken was composing 'I want' songs before he worked with Disney, just look at Little Shop of Horrors

[@jhaohncaproa1304]

[@ChelCM03]

Disney really fumbled the bag by not giving Rachel Zegler her own ORIGINAL princess because she ate this up. She was BORN to be the voice of a princess, and if Disney wasn't going to recognize it then I'm glad SOMEONE did. Rachel Zegler, Alan Menken and Glenn Slater already sound like a winning combination! Disney really messed up with this one

[@marlena.]

Right, I might not really like her, but she did really great, I hope this movie is wonderful, so her career doesn't get tarnished by the Disney one turning out bad

[@75things75]

I may not like the things she said in the past about Snow White... but i can't deny how talented her performance was in this song, and film. Feels a lot like a Disney movie not made by Disney with a really nice message!

[@Disneyfan82]

I hate how she acted bratty and disrespectful to classic Snow White, but somehow she shows talent here

[@cazaoli]

I am delighted to have been a part of this movie from beginning to end. I can't wait to see how the public reacts; who knows if it'll be positive or negative, but I'm sure that no negative review will kill my pride in having worked on it with an amazing group of people.

I can't detect if this is sarcasm or not, because this is composed by Alan Menken aka the composer of all your favorite Disney Princess songs

This song embodies how I felt ever since my father, and sister fought easter eve 2016. It’s destroyed my family. Everyone seems to have healed, and accepted that night, but my heart has never healed. I’d give my life to have my family back to how it’s supposed to be.

Just watched the movie and the way the song started with water dripping onto the exposed strings of the piano to the play the melody, the piano that was broken in the previous song, oh man it actually felt magical. Like the Disney classics I used to watch when I was a kid

[@johnbutiu7689]

I love it! Listened to this 3 times in a row already! Can't wait for the film in a couple weeks! Skydance Animation FTW!

[@tdlover5164]

This song made me start crying! I really connected with it because this reminds me how I felt after my parents got divorced. Nothing felt the same after that and I felt so powerless. I’ve had time to heal and I’ve accepted what happened, but this song reminded me of how I used to feel everyday for a really long time. Even though things weren’t the same after that, this reminded me of how I persevered and found happiness again after so long. Rachel has such a beautiful voice, I can’t wait to see the rest of her performances in the movie!

[@Chris-kb5dj]

Stunning voice.. hope she gets more projects like this. ❤

Rachel Zegler is one of the absolute best actresses and singers ever, & she is an amazing role model who deserves all the happiness & success possible.

[@matthewharvey8906]

The way she builds to the end on "Just one day, then one more, maybe three, why keep score?" makes you think she's going for a belt to bring it home.... and then it's a total FAKE-OUT when she pulls back to piannissimo on the final notes. Alan Menken, you've done it again!!! If anyone is still wondering how he's the greatest composer alive - this is why.

That is such a great beautiful singing voice provided by Rachel Zegler herself, but hopefully she nails that preformance just as Maria in West Side Story and Lucy Gray Baird in The Hunger Games.

[@GalaxyRoyal]

The fact that Ariane Debose played Anita in West Side Story before voicing Asha in Wish. This would’ve made a perfect alternate I Want song for Asha if Alan Menken composed but this is the first time in history that Alan Menken returns composing music outside of Disney.

[@ADRIANAStarGirlMedia]

I will watch anything and everything that Rachel Zegler stars in for the rest of her career because she is brilliant, beautiful, talented, and intelligent. Additionally, Rachel is an amazing role model who is always on the right side of history. I am proud to support her by being a Zegtineo and I will happily watch everything she ever stars in for the rest of her career which will last her entire life just for her because she is talented, intelligent, selfless, empathetic, and beautiful in every way possible. The world needs more people like Rachel Zegler because it is people/heroes like her who make the world a better place for everyone.

[@DeuceDropper]

Rest of her career? Lmfao 😂 Additionally, Rachel lacks the experience to obtain knowledge and wisdom to “always” be on the right side of history. What an amazingly ridiculous and hilarious comment.

⁠@@LucienSabreThere’s no damage except what all those online loser haters have been trying to cause

[@LucienSabre]

@ And Disney postponed the release of the movie twice and reshot half of it on a whim….sure, pal. 😂🤦‍♀️ There are no “online loser haters” in reality, only online and _offline_ *fans* who are justifiedly angry at Zegler because she insulted not only the character she played but the original animated classic as well (repeatedly in multiple occasions). And those are objective verifiable facts.

[@joewhitehead3]

@ She made a couple of jokes in one interview two years ago that were blown completely out of proportion. They only reshot a few scenes & the postponement was on account of the strikes. Honestly there’s nothing for the “fans” to be angry about except what’s probably going on in their own personal lives

[@LucienSabre]

@ Those weren’t “jokes blown out of proportion” and in fact they got even those who aren’t really Disney fans angry - her behavior thereafter only made everyone (except of course her fanb0ys) madder. And the reshoots happened long after the strikes (which were in late 2023….the reshoots in early 2024) and were not for just “a few scenes” (they had to redo all the dwarves scenes to reflect the new cgi versions)….but sure, keep believing Zegler was removed from most of her future projects because the world is out to get her instead of checking the facts... 🙄🤣🤦‍♀️ So much, honestly… 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

"The Way It Was Before (End Credits Version)" (from "Spellbound" soundtrack) Shattered walls Empty hallways Is that all we left behind I recall How we used to be I see each moment in my mind Endless talks Celebrations Aimless walks with our hands entwined Most of all there was love to spare And magic everywhere We breathed it in like air But no one's there now I wish I knew the way back To the way it was before With you there in your old familiar place Reliving every day back When my heart learned how to soar Every smile, each embrace If I could find a way back To the way it was before And we could be together there right now I'd run without delay Back to the way it was before Run like mad To what we had If only I knew how (Hey) With you here I was fearless Year by year I grew sure and strong Now it's clear What I really need Is what you gave me all along The lessons that you taught me And all the plans we laid The winters by the fire And the summers in the shade The stars we used to wish on And the wishes that we made Things like that must live on Can we go to where they've gone? There's got to be a way back To the way it was before To stand with you again on solid ground We'll spend one perfect day back In the way it was before Just one day Then one more Maybe three Why keep score Let's just stay The way it was before
