Disney’s Wish Releases New Song “I’m A Star”

Update – November 8th, 2023:

Watch out world, here we are! “I’m A Star,” the fourth song released as a part of Disney’s “Wish Wednesdays” has been released.

What’s Happening:

  • After yesterday’s sneak preview, the full song “I’m A Star” has been released from the upcoming Walt Disney Animation Studios film Wish.

  • The song is now available to stream on all major streaming platforms, including SiriusXM’s Disney Hits Channel
  • The Wish Original Motion Picture Soundtrack from Walt Disney Records will be available November 17th on all streaming platforms. Fans can pre-order the CD here and the vinyl here.
  • “This Wish” 10″ Star Die-Cut Picture Disc can be preordered here and will be available December 1, exclusively at Disney Music Emporium.  

What They’re Saying:

  • “We wanted to have a song that represents what Star is all about. Asha has so many questions about Star—primarily, ‘Why me?’ Star is there to remind Asha she has the power to pursue her dreams. And she’s not alone. The song—the movie—is about connection with others.” -director Fawn Veerasunthorn.
  • “Asha learns that everything is made of stardust. It is so fun and beautiful and always brings a little tear to my eye when I watch it.” -songwriter Julia Michaels
  • “The song is fun and deeply meaningful—through the power of Star’s stardust, all of nature comes to life and explains to Asha that we are all made of the same stuff. We are ALL stars! This song is also one of my personal favorites due to its message and the emotions and truth that it strikes in us all.” -songwriter Benjamin Rice
  •  “There’s a long tradition of singing animals in our animated musicals. Baloo sings ‘The Bare Necessities’ with Mowgli, and Sebastian is backed up by all kinds of fish in ‘Under the Sea.’ But we were perhaps most deeply inspired by Snow White and Aurora and those beautiful moments when they sing to the forest creatures—you’ll see some clear references in the animation of ‘I’m A Star.’” -director Chris Buck
