"She took the longing and the desire that Vanellope has and translated it into something she's clearly feeling. And when they find it, it's really beautiful." Johnston said that Michaels "made the song her own. I think a lot of people feel that way -misunderstood- and go through life trying to find their power. Michaels said that the character of Vanellope was one of her favorite things of the film "because she's just completely misunderstood. Ī pop version of the song, called "In This Place", performed by Julia Michaels, was also featured in the end credits. Johnston said that working with Menken was "the realization of a weird dream never imagined could actually come true". We always wanted it to be earnest and real". MacDougall said that "It's funny that Vanellope is singing and the lyrics are unexpected, but the music was never intended to be a joke. And this place has made her question the life she's living". On the song's purpose, Johnston said "We were exploring ways that Vanellope's arc could be completed in a fulfilling way", while Silverman said that "Vanellope learns from the other Disney princesses that she must have a quest, a desire-a ‘want’-and that she needs to express that desire in song", and Gadot said that "The song is really about Vanellope, who's at a crossroads in her life, she's fallen in love with Slaughter Race and has found an immediate older-sister connection with Shank, which is a completely different relationship than she has with Ralph. The song, which focuses on Vanellope's wish to grow as a person outside of her game, Sugar Rush, was written by Johnston and Disney's executive vice-president of music, Tom MacDougall, while the music for the song was composed by Disney's recurring composer, Alan Menken. The soundtrack also features an original song called "A Place Called Slaughter Race" which is performed by Sarah Silverman and Gal Gadot, the voice actresses of Vanellope von Schweetz and Shank, respectively.

They nailed the theme of the movie in a way that also makes you want to dance." Phil Johnston, the film's co-writer and co-director, said that Ralph's insecurity is a feeling everyone can relate to, "but the song tells us we're not alone. Dan Reynolds, the band's frontman, said that " song speaks to" the title character's struggle for self-acceptance, which the band resonated with, while the film's co-director, Rich Moore, called the song "a bold choice for an end-credit song because it's about someone who feels like a zero, someone who hasn't always felt worthy, someone who's allowed his entire sense of self to rely on a single friendship". On September 19, 2018, the soundtrack's first single, an end-credit song titled " Zero", performed by Imagine Dragons, was released.
