It was written and produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda. It was released along with the album on November 18, Canadian singer Alessia Cara also recorded the song for the Moana soundtrack.

Like some of the most popular princesses, or young women of importance if princess is too broad of a term, Moana is among those that seeks something beyond the world she knows and has seen since she was born. But her place on the island seems to be cast in stone according to her father, who uses the excuse of responsibility to get her to take her everyday life seriously in an attempt to keep her safe and secure where he can look over her.
