Music adds life to a movie as it helps add to the story and the scene. Disney’s live-action Moana will be coming to theaters on July 10, and of course, music will definitely help tell the story. The songs from the animated Moana from 2016 are memorable, and a new song has been announced.

Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and performed by Auli’i Cravalho, Catherine Laga’aia, and Dwayne Johnson, “Along The Way” is available to listen to now wherever you stream music. The full soundtrack will be released on June 26.

In an interview with Variety, Miranda said, “It was such a joy to drop back into the world of ‘Moana’ again and write ‘Along The Way.’ Auliʻi and Catherine’s voices blend so beautifully, and writing for Dwayne as Maui is just pure fun. I’m grateful that we were able to create something special for this brand-new version of our wayfinder’s story.”

On the Disney YouTube channel, featuring a behind-the-scenes look at “Along The Way,” Johnson said, “We all agreed that Lin-Manuel Miranda should write one more song.”

Laga‘aia explained that the song is “the perfect symbolism for this movie. Dwaye and Auli’i sing about finding me along the way, and our journey’s colliding.”

Miranda said, “What’s really wonderful is Auli’i is a producer on this film. So we thought, what if there’s a musical conversation between Auli’i Moana and Katie’s Moana? That became the idea for the song.”

Johnson added that the song was special to him because “it’s our OG Moana and your live-action Moana coming together, and then it’s your boy coming in.”
