One Jump Ahead (song)

All three songs are performed by Aladdin (Brad Kane in the film, Adam Jacobs in the musical, and Mena Massoud in the remake).

[3] "One Jump Ahead" and "A Whole New World" were written by Alan Menken and Tim Rice for Aladdin after Howard Ashman died in March 1991.

[4] The Cinema Scene explains "Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim [was] A jumpy tune that helped to inspire "One Jump Ahead" in the final film".

[5] "One Jump Ahead" takes place as Aladdin and his pet monkey Abu causes havoc in the square and acts like a street rat.

[7] The National Post said that in the Broadway version, "The movie's songs — One Jump Ahead, Friend Like Me and, best of all, Diamond in the Rough — come up fresh and sparkling".
