Netflix's animated musical Spellbound's ending at the pond of light.

Spellbound's music was composed by well-known film composer Alan Menken, known for his work on Disney movies such as Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Hercules, Enchanted, and many more, with lyrics written by his familiar collaborator Glenn Slater. Spellbound's original songs help explain the Spellbound characters' emotions throughout the movie, as well as outlining pieces of the plot. Spellbound's soundtrack is variously fun and emotional, and it keeps audiences entertained throughout its runtime.

When Every Song On The Spellbound Soundtrack Plays In The Movie

Spellbound's Soundtrack Has 10 Songs

"My Parents are Monsters" sung by Rachel Zegler, John Lithgow, and Jenifer Lewis: The first song that plays in Spellbound is "My Parents are Monsters" sung by Rachel Zegler as Ellian with John Lithgow as Bolinar and Jenifer Lewis as Nazara. This song helps to set the tone of the movie and explain Ellian's situation. The song gives the context of her parents' transformation and her attempts to change them back.

"Step by Step" by Rachel Zegler, John Lithgow, and Jenifer Lewis: After explaining how Ellian's parents came to be monsters, the ministers Bolivar and Nazara sing "Step by Step" as they plot to get rid of the monsters for good and make Ellian queen now that she is turning 15. As the song continues, Ellian s in with her own plan to the oracles and turn her parents back to human for good.

"How to Break the Spell" by Nathan Lane and Tituss Burgess: "How to Break the Spell" is the shortest song in Spellbound, lasting only 40 seconds total. Lane and Burgess voice the oracles, Sunny and Luno, whom Ellian believes can help her break the spell on her parents. Just as the pair are about to explain how she can break the curse, Ellian's monstrous mother, Queen Ellsmere, appears and swallows them. Luckily, she spits them back out, but Sunny and Luno are so frightened that they run away before they can finish their explanatory song.

"The Way It Was Before" by Rachel Zegler: "The Way It Was Before" is the saddest song on the Spellbound soundtrack, and it plays as Ellian reminisces about how her life with her parents was before. After her failed 15th birthday party, Ellian walks around the destroyed palace halls and wishes that her parents could be human again.

"Look for the Light" by Rachel Zegler, Nathan Lane and Tituss Burgess: After escaping into the forest with her parents and Bolivar, now transformed into Ellian's pet Flink, Ellian hopes to find the oracles again so they can help her cure her parents. When she finds them, they instruct her to follow the lights, which will lead her group to the pond of light. While "Look for the Light" serves as literal instructions for what Ellian is supposed to do, the song also serves to remind her to be positive on the journey.

"ing" by Rachel Zegler, Javier Bardem, and Nicole Kidman: Ellian's parents, King Solon and Queen Ellsmere, did not have any recognition of her in the beginning of the movie, but in "ing" they begin to have memories of their past. Previously unable to speak, they start forming words and that the three of them used to look up at the stars together, prompting Ellian to become more hopeful about saving them.

"I Could Get Used to This" by John Lithgow: "I Could Get Used to This" is perhaps the silliest song on the Spellbound soundtrack. As the group journeys through the Dark Forest, Bolivar in Flink form encounters a group of Flinks, small, blue, rodent-like creatures, who want him to eat a worm. As a human, he was not used to eating worms, but when he tries it, he becomes delighted and breaks into song.

"What About Me" by Rachel Zegler: In the climax of Spellbound, the monsters realize that the reason they were transformed was because of their constant fighting, and they decide they might want to separate after they turn back into humans. After hearing this news, Ellian becomes enraged. She comes to believe that her parents do not love her and never think of anyone but themselves. In having these negative thoughts, Ellian summons the Darkness and begins to become a monster herself.

Solon and Ellsmere understand that they have not always been as attentive to Ellian as they should have been, and they focused too much on themselves.

"What -The Way It Was Before (Reprise)" by Rachel Zegler, Javier Bardem, and Nicole Kidman: When they realize that the Darkness is starting to consume Ellian, her parents rush to save her. Solon and Ellsmere understand that they have not always been as attentive to Ellian as they should have been, and they focused too much on themselves. They rush to save her and the trio reunite in the end, eventually leading to the two of them returning to their human forms. However, they finally understand that things will be different in the future.

"My Monsters are Parents" by Rachel Zegler: "My Monsters are Parents" is the final song in Spellbound, and it serves to perfectly round out the movie and balance the first song. Ellian reveals that her life has changed, but it has changed for the better and she is finally happy.
