Disney’s piece “Speechless” has been beloved for many years.

While the animated version was popular, the 2019 live-action film release brought it even greater acclaim.

When it comes to Aladdin’s music, many people probably think of “A Whole New World,” but “Speechless” is also a fan favorite and is frequently heard on Instagram Reels and TikTok.

It’s recommended for those who enjoy serious and passionate ballads.

Hakuna MatataThe Lion King

Billy Eichner, Seth Rogen, JD McCrary, Donald Glover – Hakuna Matata (From “The Lion King”)

Disney’s The Lion King is full of classic songs.

The one I recommend as an Instagram Reel this time is Hakuna Matata.

It’s one of the most popular original songs from The Lion King.

Since it has a lot of dialogue, you might think it’s not suited for Reels, but it actually works surprisingly well.

Different Reels highlight different parts of the song, so it’s a good idea to check out a variety of them.

ZAYN, Zhavia Ward – A Whole New World (End Title) (From “Aladdin”)

Disney’s Aladdin has been beloved for many years.

Released as a film in 1992, it later gained popularity as a TV animation as well.

Then in 2019, it was rebooted as a live-action movie, once again drawing major attention from young audiences.

Speaking of Aladdin’s music, it has to be A Whole New World.

Its romantic melody resonates in our hearts no matter how times change.

This time, we’re highlighting the version by Zayn and Zhavia Ward, which features a more distinctly Arabian-inspired arrangement.
