What is the title of Tamatoa's song?

Tamatoa’s song in *Moana* is titled “Shiny.”

The number is performed by Tamatoa, a giant treasure-hoarding coconut crab who lives in Lalotai, the Realm of Monsters. During the scene, Tamatoa flaunts his glittering shell and tries to distract Moana while Maui attempts to recover his magical fish hook. The song’s extravagant style matches Tamatoa’s vanity and obsession with appearance.

“Shiny” was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Mancina, and Opetaia Foaʻi, the songwriting team behind *Moana*’s soundtrack. Jemaine Clement, who voices Tamatoa, performs the song in the film. Its glam-rock and theatrical influences make it stylistically distinct from the film’s more reflective songs.

The song is often mixed up with “You’re Welcome,” Maui’s boastful number, or “How Far I’ll Go,” Moana’s central character song. “Shiny” is specifically Tamatoa’s song, and its musical imagery also reflects the character’s role as a villain who values treasure and surface-level brilliance.
