How Far I'll Go - Alessia Cara Version

This bouncy ballad was written for the Disney animated movie Moana by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda. The film is set in Polynesia and this tune is sung by its titular character, a young princess. It concerns her planned journey from the South Pacific island to save her people. If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me One day I'll know If I go there's just no telling how far I'll go

The song is sung during the movie by Auli'i Cravalho, the actress playing Moana. Later Alessia Cara's version plays over the end credits. "So cool to be a part of @DisneyMoana," Alessia tweeted. "Such a killer story. thanks disney for letting me sing this song."

Alessia Cara told ABC Radio that she was thrilled to sing a tune written by the Hamilton creator. "Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the song, which is incredible," she said. "So we Skype called and he just basically let me do kind of whatever I wanted with the song, and change it up to make it my own. And they ended up really liking it, so they put it at the end of the movie."
