[0:00] One of the most [music] exciting things
[0:01] about Moana is the music.
[0:05] >> [music]
[0:07] >> For live-action Moana, we all agreed
[0:09] that Lin-Manuel Miranda should write one
[0:12] more [music] song.
[0:15] >> We really wanted to do something that
[0:17] could be distinct to this film. We
[0:18] thought, what if both Moanas sang?
[0:26] >> Along the way is the perfect symbolism
[0:29] for this movie. Dwayne [music] and
[0:30] Auli'i each sing about finding me along
[0:33] the way and our journeys colliding.
[0:35] >> [music]
[0:37] >> What's really wonderful is Auli'i is a
[0:40] producer on this film.
[0:42] >> [music]
[0:43] >> So, we thought, what if there's a
[0:45] musical conversation between Auli'i's
[0:47] [music] Moana and Catherine's Moana?
[0:49] That became the idea for the song Along
[0:51] the Way.
[1:00] >> [music]
[1:01] >> Getting to sing a new song that
[1:03] Lin-Manuel Miranda has written is the
[1:05] most insane experience. [music]
[1:08] To plant my flag on something original
[1:10] is an incredible honor.
[1:14] >> Being able to pass the baton to
[1:17] Catherine is really important for me.
[1:19] [music]
[1:20] So, to see her take on the life of this
[1:22] character is such a joy.
[1:30] >> This song is very special [music] for me
[1:32] because it's our OG Moana and our
[1:34] live-action Moana together. Then it's
[1:36] your boy, Maui, [music] coming in.
[1:50] >> [music]
[1:51] >> Together we have been on this journey of
[1:54] honoring our culture, of going far
[1:56] beyond the reef, this really is a
[1:59] celebration of just how far we could go.
[2:07] >> [music]
[2:09] >> Woo!
