The 2023 Little Mermaid soundtrack features all the memorable songs from the original 1989 animated film, plus four new original songs composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Alan Menken (who wrote the original Oscar-winning score). Original lyricist Howard Ashman (who passed away in 1991) is also credited on the new release.

Halle Bailey’s rendition of “Part of Your World” (as Ariel), was issued as the lead single from the project, and the new Little Mermaid soundtrack will also feature favorites like “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl” (with revamped lyrics) and “Poor Unfortunate Souls” sung by Melissa McCarthy’s Ursula.

In addition to Bailey and McCarthy, the star-studded cast includes Javier Bardem as King Triton, Jacob Tremblay as Flounder, Daveed Diggs as Sebastian and Awkwafina as Scuttle.

In a recent interview with Variety, Miranda teased a couple of the new songs for the live-action film, including “For the First Time,” which is sung by Ariel when she sets foot on land — yes — for the first time. Diggs and Awkwafina also perform a rap song titled “The Scuttlebutt.”

But there is also a previously unreleased track sung by Bardem, which is now available on a special bonus edition of The Little Mermaid soundtrack sold on HSN. Bardem sings a new song titled “Impossible Child,” which details King Triton’s frustrations of raising a spirited daughter like Ariel.

“Impossible Child” is not included on the regular soundtrack — the new Little Mermaid song is only available on the Bonus Edition soundtrack, exclusively sold on HSN.com. The album is available on CD and this HSN bundle includes a bonus movie poster as well.
