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")

Trivia
Song Notes
- At the origin, "The Song in Your Heart" was supposed to feature seven songs,[1] but one track ended up being split in two songs: "The Queen Sings" and "Love Doesn't Stand a Chance".[2]
- According to Lana Parrilla, she couldn't use her own singing voice for the Evil Queen. She had to learn what the Evil Queen's singing voice would sound like.[3]
Disney
- The lyrics "With a heigh heigh heigh / And a ho ho ho" sung by Grumpy are a reference to the song "Heigh-Ho" from the film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
- The lyric "He's got no strings" sung by Geppetto is a reference to the song "I've Got No Strings" from the film Pinocchio.
Fairy Tales and Folklore
- The Evil Queen sings, "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, I'm tortured by some spell / Mirror, mirror, on the wall, please save me from this hell". This is a reference to the classical line from the "Snow White" fairy tale: "Mirror mirror on the wall, who in this land is fairest of all?".
