I See the Light - Written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater for the film Tangled (2010). A duet originally recorded by American recording artist and actress Mandy Moore and American actor Zachary Levi in their respective film roles as main characters Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. The song was nominated for the Academy and Golden Globe awards for Best Original Song in 2011.
Menken and Slater had originally intended for the song to sound more "anthem-like". The songwriters eventually changed their minds, deciding to re-write it into a gentler, more folk-oriented song. Menken spoke of the creative writing process, "we began throwing melodies up, doing songs and riffs and harmonies, and we waited for something to stick". Additionally, Menken later admitted that, out of Tangled's five songs and musical numbers, he is most proud of "I See the Light" because it "is a great moment in the film and I am very happy with the beauty and simplicity of the song."
Reflection - Written and produced by Matthew Wilder and David Zippel for the soundtrack the 1998 film Mulan. Performed by Tony Award winner, Filipina singer and actress Lea Salonga as Fa Mulan.
