"A Whole New World" is a ballad song from Disney's Aladdin. This sang by Aladdin and Jasmine in the movie and Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle in the end credits of the film, about the new world that they are about to discover together while their love for each other blossomed. It is also sung by Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott in the 2019 Live-Action remake and ZAYN and Zhavia in the end credits of the film.
During of this song, Aladdin flies off with Jasmine on the Magic Carpet to celebrate his whole new world and his engagement to Princess Jasmine with a kiss. After that, Genie appeared as a moon and laughed. He also pulled the movie's scene as a curtain and said: "Made you look." Then the film ended with credits of end title.
Lyrics[]
Aladdin:
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
Jasmine:
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Aladdin: Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Jasmine:
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A Whole New World (Aladdin: Don't you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see (Aladdin: Hold your breath - it gets better)
I'm like a shooting star I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
Aladdin: A whole new world (Jasmine: Every turn a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue (Jasmine: Every moment red letter)
Aladdin and Jasmine:
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
Aladdin and Jasmine:
A whole new world (A whole new world)
That's where we'll be (That's where we'll be)
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me
<poem>
==Reprise==
<poem>
Aladdin: A whole new world
Jasmine: A whole new life
Both: For you and me.
Chorus: A whole new world
