Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen has delivered a confident cover of Disney’s Part Of Your World, the signature ballad from The Little Mermaid. The track is part of a curated collection tied to the film’s Diamond Blu-Ray release scheduled for this October. The compilation gathers new performances alongside beloved favourites, inviting longtime fans and curious newcomers to experience the music in a refreshed light. Jepsen’s pop sensibility meets the song’s timeless melody, a pairing that underscores The Little Mermaid’s enduring impact on screens and in soundtracks. This release marks a strategic move by Disney to celebrate a milestone edition of the film while expanding the music’s reach into homes and conversations, especially in Canada and the United States. — Disney
Beyond the music itself, the public response to Jepsen’s version has added another layer to the story. Fans noticed a bold aesthetic shift from her prior image, with a recent hair change to a vivid red that many fans liken to the animated sea princess Ariel. The visual alignment has sparked talk across fan communities about how a modern artist can inhabit a character’s energy while delivering a fresh vocal arrangement. Jepsen’s performance includes dialogue snippets from the film, a feature that gives listeners a sense of being inside the moment rather than merely hearing a song. This bold choice reflects an ongoing trend in soundtrack releases to blend narration with song to create a more immersive listening experience. The Diamond Blu-Ray release serves as the ideal moment for such experiments, inviting households to revisit the story with more texture and personality, again in both Canada and the United States. — Disney
Listeners are invited to compare Jepsen’s rendition with the original version and decide which version feels more connected to their memory of The Little Mermaid. The cover does not attempt to replace the classic but to offer a contemporary reading that sits beside it on the same shelf of cherished film music. For those collecting the movie’s soundtrack, Jepsen’s track adds a contemporary voice to a pool of songs that defined a generation, while also inviting new fans to explore how pop artistry can reinterpret beloved scenes. This approach demonstrates how modern artists can honor a century of storytelling while making room for personal expression. Those exploring the Diamond Blu-Ray edition will find a compilation that balances nostalgia with novelty, a combination that keeps Disney music alive in playlists and in conversations across North America. Readers are encouraged to listen, reflect, and share which version resonates more, a small but meaningful engagement in the broader story of The Little Mermaid’s music. — Disney
