The single is exactly what you would expect a Disney song performed by Beyonce to sound like. The singer sounds fabulous belting out over the uplifting midtempo tune with a prominent choir. The lyrics are all about finding inner strength and standing up to fight for what you believe in, following the tradition of many Disney soundtracks. |
