"Part of Your World" (also known as "Part of that World") is a song written and composed by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman for Disney's 1989 animated feature film The Little Mermaid. It serves as the leitmotif of Ariel and the film as the whole.
It's first heard in the opening titles and again in the end credits.
It is sung by Ariel (Jodi Benson), the title character, while in her secret grotto, which holds all of her treasures, most of which are human objects. It reveals how she dreams of leaving her ocean world behind and becoming a human to be with Prince Eric. Ariel imagines what it would be like to live in the human world with him, and she yearns to see the prince happy with her. Ariel also expresses her curiosity about being part of his world and fascination with his everyday life. She is determined to make her dream a reality, imagining that someday she will be part of the human world and with the prince she loves. While singing, she is unknowingly being watched by Sebastian, who had been tasked with watching over Ariel by King Triton.
After rescuing and falling in love with Eric, a human, Ariel reprises the song, during which she shows an even greater drive to live life upon land.
It is later sung by Ursula, disguised as Vanessa, when she hypnotizes Eric.
First
Originally, the song was going to have more specific lyrics on the objects in Ariel's grotto, but then it was decided that since Scuttle was her provider of information, she wouldn't really know the names of these objects. This version of the song was used in the Disney's Sing-Along Songs video Circle of Life. A shorter version using the final verse from the reprise was featured in Mickey's PhilharMagic. •Movie Lyrics •Album Lyrics •End Title Lyrics •Original Lyrics •Mickey's Philharmagic Version •Broadway Lyrics •Chely Wright version
Reprise
Before the finalized version was made, an alternate version of the reprise was made into a Demo sung by Alan Menken. In this version, Ariel sings of how much she longs to be with Eric but realizes that they can't be together and gives him a kiss before diving back under the waves. This version was removed due to the filmmakers having written Ariel as being so lovesick after the storm that it was considered inappropriate for the song to be so tragic. The comic adaptation of the Little Mermaid took a different route with the lyrics of this song. Snippets of it can follow the melody of the original, but it is mostly new. •Film Version •Original Version •Comic Adaptation Version •2023 Version
Finale
The final version of the song played during Ariel and Eric's wedding day after the defeat of Ursula. Ariel meets with her father to say goodbye one last time. She and him hug, and she whispers the words, "I love you, Daddy." After which the chorus begins. Alan Menken and Howard Ashman developed another demo, possibly earlier than the storyboarded version. In this demo, judging from the build-up of the music Ariel is slowly coming out of the water. She also approaches the beginning of the song in a more inquisitive manner than both the chorus and storyboarded versions. •Film version •Finale (Demo version) •Finale (Broadway version) •Finale (Deleted version)
•Jodi Benson sang the song in the dark to get that "under the sea" feeling.
•The part where Ariel reaches through the hole in the roof was the final shot to be completed for the film. It took four tries to get its optical effects right.
•The song was nearly cut because Jeffrey Katzenberg felt that it was "boring", as well as being too far over the heads of the children for whom it was intended. It was only through the insistence of Howard Ashman and Glen Keane that it was included in the movie.
•Alan Menken and Howard Ashman discovered that the song shared contextual and rhythmic similarities with another one of their songs: "Somewhere That's Green" from Little Shop of Horrors, leading them to humorously call it "Somewhere That's Dry".
•In early prints of the Diamond Edition release, after Ariel sings "Out of the sea...", the next two shots of her floating back down and Flounder's sad face when she sang "Wish I could be..." were swapped. This had been fixed for later printings of the Diamond Edition and remained fixed for the Signature Collection release.
•During the finale, Sebastian and Chef Louis were originally going to become friends, but Jeffery Katzenberg preferred them as enemies, and asked for the scene to be changed where Chef Louis gets his comeuppance.
