Ever Ever After

"Ever Ever After" is a song by American singer Carrie Underwood, written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz for Enchanted (2007).

"Ever Ever After" was written by Menken and Schwartz to replace a duet by actors Idina Menzel and James Marsden that was meant to take place during the film's narrative.

The final song to appear in the film, composer Alan Menken described "Ever Ever After" as the most modern of Enchanted's musical numbers.

[2] Actress Amy Adams, who portrays the film's heroine Giselle, commented, "we end up with Carrie Underwood's 'Ever Ever After' which is a country rock ballad.

"[6] Ultimately, the songwriters decided to replace it with country singer Carrie Underwood's voiceover performance "Ever Ever After" that occurs following the film's climax.

"[12] Jacqueline Rupp of Common Sense Media wrote, "Carrie Underwood's power ballad, 'Ever Ever After' will have widespread appeal for all ages".

"[20] In the video, Underwood first appears as an animated version of herself in the fictional kingdom of Andalasia, eventually transporting into the live-action world of present-day Manhattan, New York, much like Giselle does in the film.
