Disney just dropped “Waiting On A Wish,” the brand-new song from the upcoming live-action Snow White! And yes, Rachel Zegler is hitting those high notes like she’s trying to summon birds to do her taxes.
This fresh bop was conjured up by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul—you know, those EGOT-winning musical wizards who could probably make a grocery list sound like an Oscar-worthy ballad. Their inspiration? The OG wishing well from the 1937 Snow White movie. Because if Snow White is gonna be belting out a tune, you know it’s gotta involve talking to water.
Producer Marc Platt chimed in, stating, “Benj and Justin came up with ‘Waiting On A Wish,’ inspired by the iconic wishing well… It’s a truly beautiful song that is bound to become iconic in its own right.” Translation: Get ready to hear this song everywhere—on TikTok, in coffee shops, probably at your cousin’s wedding.
But wait, there’s more! You don’t have to wish for the song (see what we did there?)—you can listen to it RIGHT NOW. The music video, featuring actual clips from the film, is live and ready for your eyeballs. Plus, the song is streaming everywhere—Amazon, Apple Music, Pandora, Spotify—basically any place that lets you blast Disney ballads in public.
And mark your calendars, people, because the full soundtrack drops next Friday (March 14). That gives you exactly enough time to memorize every lyric before annoying your friends by singing it dramatically in the shower.
