Wild Uncharted Waters - The Little Mermaid (2023 film) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Wild Uncharted Waters" is a song from the 2023 live-action remake of the Disney film The Little Mermaid. This song, one of three newly added to the remake's soundtrack, was crafted through a collaborative effort between the original film's composer Alan Menken, lyricist Howard Ashman, and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda. Sung by Prince Eric, portrayed by Jonah Hauer-King, the song carries a stirring theme of longing and frustration. It articulates Prince Eric's struggle as he grapples with the queen's prohibition against leaving the kingdom. The lyrics convey his desire to traverse the greater world, seeking experiences beyond the confines of his technologically-limited home. "Wild Uncharted Waters" was the first new song penned during the film's development, as director Rob Marshall desired a fresh composition for the scene showcasing the tumultuous waves and the wildness of the ocean. The song is a metaphor for the enigmatic Ariel, the mermaid who saved Prince Eric, representing the unexplored, captivating world beyond his realm.
