Canadian singer/songwriter and breakout pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen first burst onto the music scene with her Top Ten U.S. debut album Kiss and its global smash hit “Call Me Maybe.” In 2012, she took home the American Music Award for Best New Artist and received two 2012 Grammy® Award nominations for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year. Now, Ms. Jepsen is set to dazzle music fans around the world once again with her stunning new rendition of “Part of Your World,” the beloved Disney ballad about yearning for a world just beyond reach.

 

“Part of Your World” was written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman and originally recorded for the movie by American actress and singer Jodi Benson, who gave voice to Disney’s favorite underwater princess, Ariel. The song is a Broadway-style ballad in which young heroine Ariel expresses her desire to be a part of the human world.
