"A Girl Worth Fighting For" is a song written by composer Matthew Wilder and lyricist David Zippel from the 1998 Disney film Mulan.
It is performed by Harvey Fierstein, Jerry Tondo, and James Hong, along with Wilder and Lea Salonga, who provide the singing voices of Ling and Mulan, respectively.
The song itself acts as a source of comic relief for the audience as the men sing about their dream girls and the roles they will play in the family to distract for their fatigue and pain.
"[7] Filmtracks.com wrote "the comical piece performed by Harvey Fierstein ("A Girl Worth Fighting For") proves that people with annoying speaking voices don't sound any better when they sing".
[8] Michelle Anya Anjirbag, analyzing the song, described it as using the process of othering to highlight Mulan's contrast with her parent culture, and fulfilling the writers' goals of "disrupt[ing] Disney's pattern of heroines relying on a man".
