What is the title of Prince Eric's new solo song in Disney's 2023 film The Little Mermaid?

“Wild Uncharted Waters” is the title of Prince Eric’s new solo song in Disney’s 2023 film The Little Mermaid. The song was written specifically for the live-action adaptation and does not appear in the 1989 animated film.

The song gives Eric a musical moment of his own. In it, he reflects on Ariel after their meeting and expresses an intense desire to understand the mysterious person who rescued him. This expands Eric’s inner life beyond his role as the prince Ariel sees from a distance.

Jonah Hauer-King performs the song in the film. Alan Menken, who composed the music for the 1989 animated film, returned for the 2023 adaptation, while Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote new lyrics with Menken.

The title can be confused with “For the First Time,” a new song sung by Ariel in the human world. They are separate additions: “Wild Uncharted Waters” belongs to Eric, while “For the First Time” belongs to Ariel.
