Written in Stone facts for kids

"Written in Stone" is a song that was written for Disney's 1998 animated film Mulan, but was cut from the film when its composer left the project. Lea Salonga auditioned for Mulan with "Written in Stone" and recorded a demo during production.

"Written in Stone" has "surfaced over the years" in later reworkings of the original film. Mulan's deleted torch song, which "accompan[ied] her transformation into a soldier", was salvaged by the one-act version of the play licensed to grade schools, Mulan Jr in multiple reprises . Meanwhile, Salonga has performed the original demo version live at least once.
