"Peaches" is a song by American actor and musician Jack Black from the Nintendo/Illumination film The Super Mario Bros. Movie, in which he voices Bowser.
The song is a sentimental ballad[1] in which Bowser, Jack Black's character in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, expresses his love for Princess Peach.
[1] Aaron Horvath, one of the film's co-directors, told GameSpot he wanted a musical Bowser, but planned for a more metal track in the vein of Tenacious D. After deciding that it would be boring for Bowser to simply say, "I love Princess Peach", Horvath decided to tell the song through a ballad.
The first one was a live-action music video directed by Cole Bennett, depicting Jack Black wearing a Bowser-inspired costume and playing the song on the piano while in a room with windows overlooking computer-animated landscapes from the film.
[7] Kristin Smith of Plugged In (publication) praised the live-action music video, writing, "it’s an innocent, silly ballad...with flashy colors and plenty of fun to (they hope) entice viewers to go see The Super Mario Bros.
[9] In a positive review of the film, Christopher Cruz of Rolling Stone called the song a "hit", expecting it to be "a TikTok staple to the chagrin of parents everywhere.
