In the film, Let It Go is a moment of dark irony. “The minute we heard the song the first time, I knew that I had to rewrite the whole movie,” said director Jennifer Lee. When Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez were commissioned to write " Elsa’s Badass Song", the Snow Queen was a more conventional villain, but the song’s emotional power forced a rethink. Let It Go is so undeniable that it changes the direction of the movie. I’m not a musicologist ( although this guy is), but anyone can understand why Let It Go is a bravura piece of musical storytelling: the nervous minor chords of the first verse, jumping to an emphatic major key with the line “Well now they know!” the frantic, pulse-quickening syncopation of the bridge the explosive leap of the chorus, mirrored in the animation’s rapid ascent and the final imperious shrug of “The cold never bothered me anyway.” It’s uncommonly fast for a power ballad, too – 137 beats per minute – which is why it’s been recommended as a workout song and remixed, badly, into a club banger. One test of a truly great song is an ability to listen to it dozens of times without screaming. Reading on mobile?

It’s a glimpse of the future, a vessel for secret knowledge. To her, an older sister at an age where boys are beginning to become a source of intrigue rather than irritation, and conventional Disney princesses are a prissy drag, it’s more than a song. Still, these mind-boggling statistics strike me less forcefully than my daughter’s unprecedented obsession. On YouTube, where it sits alongside countless amateur cover versions, spoofs, supercuts and fan-made videos, the Let It Go sequence uploaded by Disney last December has attracted almost 180m views.
FROZEN SONG LET IT GO LYRICS MOVIE
It’s the main reason why the Frozen soundtrack has been the No 1 album in the US for nine weeks and counting – Beyoncé only managed three – and a significant reason why the film became the highest-grossing animated movie of all time. Like the snow in Frozen, Let It Go is everywhere, and it’s not disappearing without a fight. Technically, the song from Frozen is sung by Broadway star Idina Menzel in the role of Elsa the Snow Queen, but as far as my seven-year-old daughter – who has been singing it several times a day for weeks – is concerned, it’s hers. I’m no expert on any of these dialects/ fangyan, so if anyone has any corrections to make, please leave a comment.I don’t yet know what my song of the year is, but I can tell you without hesitation what the song I’ve heard the most is, albeit not always in its recorded version: the Oscar-winning Let It Go.

(Links go to Chinese video sites (with ads) embedded videos are Disney’s official audio versions with fan-added subtitles from YouTube.) Some are translations of the original, while others are spoofs ( 恶搞) or partial spoofs.

I was a little late to the party, but I finally saw Disney’s Frozen recently, and was very impressed.
