Disenchanted will include new songs from Menken and Schwartz. In March 2020, during the Broadway Rosie O’Donnell show benefit, Alan Menken revealed that he and Stephen Schwartz were already writing the songs for the film. They originally worked together on Enchanted and received three Academy Award nominations.
On May 14, 2021, in a newsletter, Schwartz revealed that the film will have seven songs (two more than the first film) plus reprises. He added that unlike the first film, which had the song spots already written in the script, he and Menken were collaborating with the director and screenwriter for more organic song spots. He also revealed that Nancy (Idina Menzel) would have a solo song and be part of another song. Nancy initially had a song in the original film, but it was cut.
