The creative minds behind the music, Grammy®-nominated singer/songwriter Julia Michaels and Grammy®-winning producer Benjamin Rice, have woven a tapestry of seven original songs for the film. Their musical genius has given life to songs that resonate with fun, emotion, and heartfelt sincerity. “I would describe the songs as fun, emotional and heartfelt,” Michaels shared, emphasizing the rhythmic whimsy and intentional lyricism that characterize the musical offerings of Wish.
Setting the Stage for a Whimsical Journey
“Welcome to Rosas” holds the honor of being the first musical gem that audiences will encounter in the movie. It’s a song that carries the legacy of iconic Disney welcome songs, setting the stage for the magical journey that unfolds. “I’ve always loved Disney welcome songs like Frozen [‘For the First Time in Forever’] and Encanto [‘The Family Madrigal’]. It really just sets up where you are and where you’re going,” Michaels elaborated.
