History

Before First Curse
Tortured by a Singing Spell cast by the Blue Fairy to grant Snow White's wish, the Evil Queen approaches her Magic Mirror hoping to learn more, only to discover that the Magic Mirror is singing, too. The Magic Mirror warns the Evil Queen that the spell will not be easy to defeat as the entire kingdom is filled with the power of music, showing her Grumpy and the other Dwarves, Geppetto, Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket, Granny, and Snow White and Prince Charming singing as examples. Irritated, the Evil Queen demands that he stop. ("The Song in Your Heart")

After finding a Singing Spell left by Zelena, the Evil Queen removes the music from the kingdom. However, the Blue Fairy puts the songs in Snow White's unborn daughter's heart as they will one day protect her from the Black Fairy and give her a happy ending. ("The Song in Your Heart")

After Third Curse
After her family is frozen by the Black Fairy and Mr. Gold, Emma Swan believes that the only way to save them is to give the Black Fairy her heart. As she prepares to do this, Henry Mills discovers a page from his book showing the Blue Fairy put the kingdom's songs in Emma's heart and rushes to her, revealing as the Black Fairy fails to crush Emma's heart that the songs give Emma power. Henry returns Emma's heart to her as she begins to sing, realizing that everyone she loves was with her throughout her life thanks to their song. ("The Song in Your Heart")

Lyrics

Evil Queen
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
I'm tortured by some spell
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Please save me from this hell
Magic Mirror
Snow and Charming made a wish
Now everything has changed
Evil Queen
Oh, great. You're singing, too
This whole thing is deranged
Magic Mirror
A spell as strong as this
Won't be easy to defeat
Your curse might not succeed
With your kingdom singing songs so sweet
Grumpy
It's time to work
Let's go
Not a thing to make me bristle
With a heigh heigh heigh
And a ho ho ho
I'll mine that mine and whistle
Geppetto
He's real and not a toy
There's a lifetime to enjoy
The happy things
He's got no strings
'Cause he's a-my real boy
Jiminy Cricket is chirping to the song's rhythm
Granny
La, la,
Princess on her way
La, la, though I'm old and gray
Happy times are here to stay
Snow White & Prince Charming
Seems we found a lucky break
Now let our song show the powerful magic
We can make
Evil Queen
Enough!
