 Menken became involved with the film in the early stages of the film 's development and invited Schwartz to resume their collaboration . They began the songwriting process by searching for the right moments in the story in which a song moment was allowed . Schwartz found that it was easier to justify situations in which the characters would burst into songs in Enchanted than in other live @-@ action musicals as its concept " allowed the characters to sing in a way that was completely integral to the plot of the story . " The three songs Giselle sings contain references to earlier Disney films . The first song played in the film , " True Love 's Kiss " , was written to be " a send @-@ up of , and an homage to , the style of those Disney animated features " , namely , " I 'm Wishing " ( Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ) and " A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes " ( Cinderella ) , during which Disney heroines sing about the joy of being loved . It posed a challenge for Menken and Schwartz because of the " many preconceptions with that number " ; it had to be reflective of the era of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Cinderella . Accordingly , Amy Adams performed the first song in an operetta style in contrast to the Broadway style of the later songs .
