Songfacts®:

  • This song was written and composed for the Frozen soundtrack by the husband-and-wife songwriting team of Robert Lopez (Avenue Q and The Book of Mormon) and Kristen Anderson-Lopez (Finding Nemo). The pair composed the entire soundtrack for the Disney film, which reached #1 on the US album chart. It was the fourth animated film soundtrack to top the Billboard 200, following The Lion King in 1994, Pocahontas in 1995 and Curious George in 2006.
  • In the 2018 superhero film Deadpool 2, Wade (Ryan Reynolds) claims this tune suspiciously sounds like "Papa, Can You Hear Me?" from the 1983 Barbra Streisand movie Yentl. Reynolds was reminded of the Frozen song while he was watching Yentl and incorporated the observation into the script.
