"The Ballad of the Witches' Road" is a song from the Marvel Studios Disney+ television miniseries Agatha All Along, written by composers Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.

[14][15] All tracks are written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert LopezThe "True Crime Version" was featured in the first episode of Agatha All Along titled "Seekest Thou the Road".

It was sung by Harkness and her newly-recruited coven, during which Billy Maximoff unknowingly created the Witches' Road, accessible via a door in Agatha's basement in her home in Westview.

[19][21] The "Score Version" was featured in "Circle Sewn with Fate / Unlock Thy Hidden Gate" and was composed by Christophe Beck and Michael Paraskevas.

[28][29][30][31] Vulture's Caroline Framke described the "Sacred Chant Version" as "an earworm of a song" that was "undeniably effective to juxtapose the coven’s singalong with the arrival of the shrouded Salem 7", but noted it was not "as meme-ably catchy" as "Agatha All Along".

[28] IGN critic Joshua Yehl called the "Cover Version" "wonderfully campy" and "great", and praised the lyrical elements that tied into Alice Wu-Gulliver's story.

[29] Writing for Tell-Tale TV, Misael Duran found the "Agatha Through Time Version" to be a "major highlight" and "beautifully haunting",[30] while The Ringer's Daniel Chin praised the plot twist regarding the origins of the song.
