Hey, do you guys know this is the catchiest song I have ever heard. That
message is good and all.
"Let It Go" is a song from Disney's 2013
animated feature film, Frozen, with music and lyrics composed by
Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. The song was performed in the film by
American actress and singer Idina Menzel in her role as Queen Elsa, after an
ostracized Elsa abandons her kingdom when her magical ability to create and
control ice is discovered by the public. Up in the mountains, away from
confused and suspicious onlookers, she realizes that she no longer needs to
hide her abilities, and declares herself free from the restrictions she has had
to endure since childhood. She rejoices in finally being able to use her powers
without fear, manipulating snow and ice to generate a magnificent castle for
herself.
"Let It Go" won the Academy
Award for Best Original Song at the 86th Academy Awards, where the song was performed live by Menzel. It is the first song from a
Disney animated musical to reach the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 since
1995, when Vanessa L. Williams' "Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas
peaked at number four on the chart. The song is also Menzel's first single
to reach the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making her
the first Tony Award winner for acting to ever reach the top 10.
On December 6, 2013 Walt Disney
Animation Studios released a video of the entire "Let It Go" sequence as seen in the movie, which has over 184 million views as of April 13, 2014.
