The first full song from the upcoming Moana 2, “Beyond,” has been released! Star Auli’i Cravalho belts out the end credits version of the new song, which will be featured in the Disney sequel.

The track was written by Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, and “encapsulates Moana’s fearless sense of adventure and connecting her island beyond its shores.” “’Beyond’ really impacted me as someone who feels deeply connected to my culture,” Auli’i shared in a statement. “It’s about going beyond what you’re capable of, beyond your comfort zone, and not doing it just for yourself, doing it for your people.” Keep reading to learn more and listen to the song… “During the process of writing this, we spoke to a lot of people who come from Oceania and the Polynesian Islands, and what rings true to all of them is their deep connection to their heritage and how they honor their ancestors,” Barlow & Bear said about the song. “No matter how daunting this journey is to Moana, she can’t refuse it.

It scares her but also exhilarates her because it’s a call from the ancestors. And the idea that the ocean connects us all is a very big part of Pacific Island culture and wayfinding culture.” Director Jason Hand added, “It’s incredibly emotional.

When Auli‘i sang it, it really blew us away. We were all in tears listening to her.” “Beyond” will be featured three times on the soundtrack, with the original version, a Reprise version, and the End Credit Version, which is what has been released.
