If one listens very closely, one can hear subtle clues in the song's lyrics that potentially hint at Elsa heel-turning (such as "No right or wrong/no rules for me!/I'm free!"), and was originally going to be sung in a mocking tone which becomes more demented as the song progresses to enforce this. As mentioned above several times, since Elsa was originally going to be a villain, "Let It Go" was originally intended to be a villain song.A line from "Let It Go" was originally written, "Couldn't keep it in, God knows I tried", but was ultimately changed to "Heaven knows I tried." In an interview, the songwriters stated that the switch was done not because they were not allowed to acknowledge religion (a Church and Christian iconography are clearly present in the film), but because they were afraid that some people would see it as taking the Lord's name in vain, which is a sin in the Abrahamic traditions.Also, the singing voice of Elsa in Korea, Hye Na Park plays the role of Elphaba in the Korean production. Idina Menzel, the voice of Elsa, played Elphaba in the original Broadway cast of Wicked while Willemijn Verkaik, the Dutch and German singer of "Let It Go", played the role in the German, Dutch and British production. One can hardly see it because the camera angle hides the "trick" in the half-a-second moment it happens, and the viewers' attention is drawn to other places. The animators had to phase Elsa's braid through her left arm to keep the animation model from breaking. The shot where Elsa first releases her hair down creating the braid was nearly impossible to do.The song won the 2014 Academy Award for Best Original Song, the first one from a Walt Disney Animation Studios-produced film in 14 years to win this award.Lovato's cover version is used for the end credits. Instead of hiding it, like she is done all her life, she's letting it go and embracing it." Elsa is finding her identity she's growing into who she is and she's finally accepting her own strength and magical powers. Anderson-Lopez admitted that Lovato was chosen because of the singer's own personal struggles "She had a past that she's pretty open about that is similar to Elsa's journey of letting a dark past and fear behind and moving forward with your power." Lovato indeed identified herself with the song's context, stating "It's so relatable. Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez selected American singer and former Disney Channel star Demi Lovato, who is part of Disney's Hollywood Records roster, to cover the song on the soundtrack album. The decision to release a single for "Let It Go", was made after the song was written and was presented to Disney. You won't find me, the past is all behind me I'm never going back, the past is in the past! My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around!Īnd one thought crystallizes like an icy blast! My power flurries through the air into the ground The wind is howling like this swirling storm insideĬouldn't keep it in, Heaven knows I tried The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
