To capture the mindset of a 16-year-old, Lin-Manuel Miranda locked himself in his childhood bedroom for a weekend. He aimed to write a song that expressed a more complex conflict than simply wanting to "get out"—one where Moana loves her home but still feels called elsewhere.
The track is a pop record set at 82 beats per minute, written in common time in the key of E major . It features a key change to F major for the final 10 measures.
The song's lyrics emphasize self-discovery and the courage to follow an inner voice, even when it defies societal or parental expectations. Where to Listen
