Originally entitled "For Evermore", "Evermore" was written by composer Menken and lyricist Rice. The last of the three original songs written for the remake, "Evermore" was completed considerably late into production after the filmmakers finally agreed that the Beast should perform his own. Written in Spring 2015 in London, England, Menken quickly composed its melody before Rice contributed lyrics revolving around the Beast releasing Belle. Actor Dan Stevens, who portrays the Beast

After briefly considering Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli, Leib suggested American singer Josh Groban because, in his opinion, the singer's "voice is a natural fit for this showstopper of a composition." Having already known Groban personally, Menken texted the singer who immediately confirmed his interest. Groban recorded the song shortly after the studio made final arrangements with his manager. On January 26, 2017, Disney announced that Groban had recorded a cover of "Evermore" – still entitled "For Evermore", at the time – and revealed that his version would be included on the remake's soundtrack in addition to being

According to Dion, "I was at the beginning of my career, it put me on the map, it put me where I am today". Also, Josh Groban was announced to be performing the new original song "Evermore" on January 26, 2017. The 2017 film features a remake of the 1991 original song recorded as a duet by Ariana Grande and John Legend.

The song occurs at a pivotal moment in the film during which the Beast bemoans his decision to free Belle, while uncovering both his inner pain and growth as a character as he voices "a sad sense of longing." For the first time, audiences learn exactly how the Beast feels when he allows Belle to rescue Maurice, summarizing his love for her. In the musical sequence, the Beast

"Evermore" is a somber Broadway-influenced power ballad; its lyrics explore themes such as true love, heartbreak, loneliness and sacrifice. In "Beauty and the Beast", "Evermore" is performed by the Beast shortly after he releases Belle from the castle so that she may return to the village and aid her father. Despite knowing that freeing her will further jeopardize his chances of becoming human again, the Beast realizes he loves Belle and ultimately sacrifices his own happiness in return for hers.

Weiss questioned why Disney hadn't cast Groban as the Beast instead of Stevens due to the former's acting and musical theatre background.

song "If I Can't Love Her" in the Broadway musical, identified by Fred Hawson of "ABS-CBN News" as "a grand moving solo" during which the Beast sincerely expresses his undying feelings for Belle. In "Beauty and the Beast", "Evermore" appears as a solo performed by the Beast shortly before "The Mob Song" as the film approaches its dramatic climax. After the Beast and Belle (Emma Watson) share a dance in the castle's ballroom to Mrs. Potts (Emma Thompson) singing "Beauty and the Beast", the couple has a conversation during which the Beast learns how much Belle actually misses her father,

Following the release of Ariana Grande and John Legend's pop rendition of "Beauty and the Beast", Leib asked the studio for permission to release another one of "Beauty and the Beast"'s original songs as a single ahead of the film's March 17, 2017 release date. After eliminating "Days in the Sun" and confirming that Canadian singer Celine Dion would not be available to promote her cover of "How Does a Moment Last Forever", the studio ultimately decided to release "Evermore".

Herald-Republic"'s Danielle Niemann hailed the piece as "a simply awe-inspiring piece of music" that "can send chills up viewers' spines, causing them to lose focus on everything but [Stevens]". Jason Fraley of WTOP agreed that Stevens' performance "will give you chills", crowning "Evermore" the "Best of" "Beauty and the Beast"'s original songs. "The Salt Lake Tribune" film critic Sean P. Means wrote that the track "gives Stevens a nice moment to pour out the tragic hero's broken heart." According to "The Toronto Star"'s Peter Howell, "Evermore" establishes Stevens among "the [cast's] best singers", while "La Presse"'s Sonia Sarfati was moved

Before "Evermore" was written, Condon informed Stevens that he would be singing a new song in his role as Beast. Having not sung professionally since childhood, Stevens was required to retrain his singing voice, the process of which he found challenging. To prepare for the recording, Stevens received extensive vocal coaching from vocal coach Ann-Marie Speed in addition to working closely with Menken. Stevens first recorded a "guide track" for "Evermore" before he and Menken revisited the track to modify specific lines and notes. To make

Katlin Risen of "The State Journal-Register" agreed that the song is "a lovely addition to the story". Andrew Gaug of News-Press NOW called the musical number "a welcome addition" to the film. Citing "Evermore" among the film's musical highlights, the "Christian Broadcasting Network" reviewed the track as "a wonderful, heartbreaking ballad". Lindsay Bahr of the Associated Press reviewed "Evermore" as "a more fitting ballad" for the character than "If I Can't Love Her", while "Her

Original "Beauty and the Beast" composer Menken reunited with Rice, with whom he had previously collaborated on Disney's animated film "Aladdin" (1992), to write three new songs for the remake. Rice once again replaced original "Beauty and the Beast" lyricist Howard Ashman, who had passed away shortly before the animated film's release in 1991, similar to the way in which he replaced the lyricist to aid Menken in writing new material for the 1994 stage adaptation. Menken believes that the songs he and Rice had written for the stage musical

been mostly positive, with both film and music critics dubbing it the best of the remake's original songs amidst comparisons to "If I Can't Love Her". Critics frequently recognized Stevens among the cast's best vocalists and agreed that "Evermore" is a strong contender for an Academy Award for a Best Original Song nomination at the 90th Academy Awards, however it was not nominated for the category. Director Bill Condon originally intended to include most songs from the Broadway musical adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" in the remake. However, Disney ultimately decided to recruit composer Alan Menken and lyricist Tim

CIHR-FM's Shelby Knox concluded that, despite the actor's limited singing experience, Stevens "shows a lot of promise", dubbing his song the film's "stand out". Meanwhile, MTV included the song at number four on their ranking of "All 14 Songs from Disney's Live-action Beauty and the Beast"; author Crystal Bell claims that she would have ranked "Evermore" higher if Stevens' voice hadn't been manipulated to sound deeper than it is. Bell went on to write that the song sounds

fairy tale trope in which a princess is trapped in a tower. Instead the Beast is confined to his tower, longing for the heroine to return and free him from his enchantment. Brett Nachman compared the scene to Quasimodo performing "Out There" in Disney's animated musical "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (1996). Distinguished for being the remake's "most powerful" original song, "Evermore" has been described as a "big" and "romantic" number by music critics. A "soaring ballad" bolstered by "grand orchestration", WTOP's Jason Fraley described "Evermore" as a "haunting song of longing"; a "mournful love song" that crescendos into a

Replacing "If I Can't Love Her" with "Evermore" helped make the songwriters eligible for an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. One of at least nine significant ways in which the remake deviates from its source material, "Evermore" is among the film's songs that emphasize the sadness and loneliness of both the Beast and Belle's situations. Occurring approximately two-thirds into the film, the song assumes a role that was originally occupied by the

song is "less soaring than intended", while Katie Walsh, writing for "The Sun Chronicle", disparaged "Evermore" as "the perfect bathroom break"; a "snooze-worthy tune does nothing for the already dragging story", encouraging audience members to skip it. In a mixed review, the "Daily Bruin"'s Matthew Fernandez, despite describing "Evermore" as one of two songs "that matchesthe grandeur of the classic Disney works", criticized Steven's performance, which he called "less pleasing to the ear" due to Stevens' impersonation of a beast during early parts of the song, dismissing the attempt "cheesy" and harmful to the actor's performance..

Maurice (Kevin Kline). Finally admitting that Belle is no longer his prisoner, the character sings "Evermore" shortly after he releases the heroine from the castle, insisting that she return to her village and protect Maurice from Gaston (Luke Evans). Believing that Belle has been lost to him forever, the Beast is heartbroken by the character's departure and laments his misfortune by performing "Evermore", accepting that releasing his former prisoner makes breaking the enchantress' spell more difficult, even impossible.

"The Hollywood Reporter"'s Scott Feinberg said that "Evermore" is the "strongest" prospective Best Original Song nominee from the film, while Paul Sheehan of Golderby said that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would most likely favor "Evermore" over "How Does a Moment Last Forever" and "Days in the Sun". In December 2017, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed that "Evermore" was one among 70 songs that the organization shortlisted for Best Original Song consideration.

Citing the song as an example of the film's characters resorting to singing whenever they find that they are not able to speak, Condon described "Evermore" as one of the film's "dramatic high points", proving that the Beast has finally become "worthy of love". For the Beast, the song represents "an ode to his love for Belle and his unending, longing devotion as she rides away from him, possibly forever", serving as "a profound meditation on his own isolation and heartache". According to Menken, the character is "basically singing about how he now knows what love is". The

In the animated film, the Beast barely sings because Menken and original "Beauty and the Beast" lyricist Howard Ashman had not been able to determine a moment in the film during which it would have been appropriate for the character to perform his own song. Initially, Menken had especially wanted the Beast to perform "If I Can't Love Her", a song he and Rice had written for the character to sing in stage adaptation of the animated film, in the remake, but ultimately decided that an entirely new song that establishes that the Beast has finally

Ultimately, Lansbury recorded her version in one take, which wound up being used in the final film. Producer Don Hahn recalled that the actress simply "sang 'Beauty and the Beast' from beginning to end and just nailed it. We picked up a couple of lines here and there, but essentially that one take is what we used for the movie." Lansbury's performance moved everyone who

Peter Travers of "Rolling Stone" rated the film three out of four stars which he deemed it as an "exhilarating gift" while he remarked that ""Beauty and the Beast" does justice to Disney's animated classic, even if some of the magic is M.I.A (Missing in Action)". Stephanie Zacharek of "Time" magazine gave a positive review with a description as "Wild, Vivid and Crazy-Beautiful" as she wrote "Nearly everything about "Beauty and the Beast" is larger than life,

Groban's version was released as the second single from "Beauty and the Beast"'s soundtrack on March 3, 2017, several days before the album, on which Stevens' original rendition appears, was released. Groban promoted the song with a performance on "Good Morning America" on March 14, 2017. The occasion marked both the song's first televised performance, as well as the first time an original song from the remake was performed live on television. Musically, Groban's single remains a "Broadway-like" operatic pop ballad that features the same lyrics, beginning "I was the one who had it all". Written in

Beast is now shown to be capable of feeling and expressing human emotions, namely heartbreak, loneliness and helplessness, having learned about true love and sacrifice. According to Zoe Nicholson of "The Daily Gamecock", "Evermore" "adds humanity not yet seen in a character regarded as savage or spoiled rotten." Walt Disney Studios president of music and soundtracks Mitchell Leib described the scene as the film's ""Phantom of the Opera" moment." Traditionally in Disney films, heroines are typically assigned "rousing" musical numbers to perform. Screen Rant contributor Kacey Spivey observed that Belle's departure and the scene represents a reversal of the traditional

Staged in a way that resembles a live musical due to Stevens' performance and its cinematography, the orchestra increases and swells as the anguished Beast continues to climb. Menken explained that the character, singing "with a raw emotion", watches Belle leave while thinking to himself "I know what love is now, and it's wonderful, even though I'll never see her again", and "Evermore" captures the Beast's agony as he watches the woman he loves

Belting comfortably, Stevens' voice has been compared to that of Terrence Man, the actor who originated the role of the Beast in the Broadway adaptation and recorded "If I Can't Love Her". Mumbling slightly, Stevens begin the song using a more "guttural" part of his voice in an effort to impersonate the sound of a beast before the song truly progresses into "a soaring love ballad". Some traces of Auto-Tune can be heard in Stevens' performance. When Disney released the film's first official trailer in November 2016, "Billboard"'s

Maria Sciullo of the "Pittsburgh Post-Gazette" felt that the ballad "lacks the sheer power of 'If I Can't Love Her'" in addition to finding Stevens' performance difficult to evaluate due to his use of Auto-Tune. Zimbio contributor Lani Conway reviewed Stevens' "very deep voice" as "confusing as hell." IGN's Eric Goldman was unimpressed with the track, reviewing "Evermore" as "uninspired and hard to recall" afterward. Criticizing the ballad for being unnecessary and "excessively sentimental", Alexandra August of Comic Book Resources dismissed "Evermore" as a "meandering" and "mopey" tune.

Both "brooding" and hopeful at the same time, Jay Jason of Comicbook.com believes that the song's lyrics are inspired by the popular saying "If you love someone, let them go." Stevens' voice quavers with emotion when he sings the phrase "I never needed anybody in my life". Amanda Greever of "The Daily Times" insists that the song's lyrics will move all listeners to tears.

Although she was unable to promote her version, which prompted Disney to release "Evermore" as a single instead, the song has made an impact in certain countries due to the film's success at the box office. It was met with generally positive reviews from critics. However, some felt that the song is unmemorable and compared it negatively to other songs recorded by Dion for movie soundtracks.

David Hoberman, who produced the 2017 film, thought "Days in the Sun" would earn Menken his ninth Academy Award for Best Original Song. A preview of "Days in the Sun" was released on February 17, 2017, along with a portion of Emma Thompson's performance of the 1991 song "Beauty and the Beast". "Days in the Sun" was considered for release as a single but director Bill Condon

would not have translated well to the screen due to structural differences between the two formats. In the original animated film, the Beast does little singing apart from a brief solo during "Something There" because Menken and Ashman had not been able to agree upon a suitable moment within the film during which the Beast could have performed his own song. However, Menken considered it imperative that the character sing a solo in both the stage and live-action adaptations because he believes the Beast is actually the story's protagonist "whose life has changed in the most dramatic way."

"Beauty and the Beast" has been with me since my childhood and to have a musical connection to this new film makes me so happy." The announcement coincided with the studio's release of a new promotional poster for the film, which Disney allowed the singer to premiere using his official Twitter account.

Horner knew Sissel from the album "Innerst i sjelen" and he particularly liked how she sang the song "Eg Veit I Himmerik Ei Borg" ("I Know in Heaven There Is a Castle"). Horner had tried 25 or 30 singers and, in the end, he chose Sissel to sing the wordless tune.

a nomination in the category (nor did any other original composition from the remake), which some critics have viewed as a snub given the popularity of the song and the film. Although Stevens' version of the song was never released as a single, its popularity combined with that of the film and its related soundtrack resulted in the track charting on several charts due to digital download sales. "Evermore" peaked at number 18 and 46 on the US "Billboard" Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles and US Digital Songs charts, respectively, on April 8, 2017, spending one week on both charts.

Dismissing the song as inferior to "If I Can't Love Her", "ReelViews" film critic James Berardinelli described "Evermore" as a "solid" but ultimately unmemorable song. However, Berardinelli agreed that Stevens possesses the "best voice" in the cast, wishing his character "had more opportunities to use it".

Menken continued making minor changes to the song well into production. On recording a new song, Stevens said, "the pressure's sort of off — but it's also on — because it doesn't have to sound like it did before, but it should sound good enough to sit alongside the music that's already pretty great." Stevens agreed that the song is "a big, romantic, soaring number" about the Beast lamenting "I've fallen in love with

The track also discusses themes such as true love, sacrifice and learning to understand love. Stevens sings within the vocal range of a "deep, resonating baritone" throughout the song, which lasts a total duration of three minutes and fourteen seconds; Channel NewsAsia contributor Genevieve Sarah Loh compared Stevens' voice, whose notes are suspended by
