This Is The Thanks I Get?!

"This Is The Thanks I Get?!" is a song in Disney's 2023 animated feature film Wish, sung by King Magnifico. It is the villain song of the film, in which Magnifico expresses his frustration and resentment towards the people of Rosas, who he believes are ungrateful for his rule. He also reveals his plan to use a dark magic book to get rid of the wishing star that grants wishes to the people.
==Background==
The song was written by Julia Michaels and Benjamin Rice, who also wrote the other songs for the film. Michaels said that she wanted to create a song that showed Magnifico's narcissism and anger, as well as his vulnerability and insecurity. Rice added that they wanted to make the song catchy and fun, despite being sung by the antagonist. The song is performed by Chris Pine, who said that he enjoyed singing as Magnifico, and that he tried to channel his inner "rock star". Pine also said that he was inspired by the classic Disney villains, such as Scar from The Lion King and Ursula from The Little Mermaid.
==Lyrics==
I can't help it if mirrors love my face
It's genetics! Yeah, I got these genes from outer space!
Peep the name, I'm magnificent!
I put the "I" in omnipotent!
I'm passionate, I'm not petulant
Someone praise me for my benevolence!
(Just look!)
I'd give the clothes off Benito's back
If you really needed that
I'd be the first one to volunteer Henry!
If your home were to crumble
Or if you were in trouble!
I let you live here for free
And I don't even charge you rent!
I clean up all your messes
And I'm always there when you need to vent!
I give and give and give and give
You'd think they'd all be content
And all I really want is just a little respect
And this is the thanks I get?!
Chorus: Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
This is the thanks I get?!
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
And this is the thanks I get?!
Chorus: Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
And this is the thanks I get?!
"You're so brilliant"
Ah, that's the least you could say
There's more, admit it
"You're cute! And strong! And bold! And brave!"
(Thanks)
See this kingdom? I built it up
And you still complain? Ungrateful much
Mmm, are you sure that you're not the prob?
I'd love to see you try and do my job! Oh-ho
I granted fourteen wishes last year
Come on! That's a high percent!
And now you're questioning your king?
The disrespect I just underwent!
You know I always got your back
Yeah, really though, it's no sweat
Since the day you were born
And the day that we met
And this is the thanks I get?!
Chorus: Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
This is the thanks I get?!
Chorus: Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
And this is the thanks I get?!
Chorus: Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
And this is the thanks I get?!
Chorus: Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
I didn't wanna do this
I swore I'd never do this
But I'm hypnotized by how these pages flip
'Cause I refuse to have my power stripped
A potion? A spell? A summon? A curse?
Anything to make that light reverse!
To this book I don't wanna be tethered, but
Desperate times call for desperate measures
(Where was I? Oh, yeah...)
There's a traitor in this town
And still I remain unbent
Come out now, explain yourself
I'm sure it's all just an accident!
Well, whoever finds them first
Now, that's a wish well spent
Honestly, keeping you safe
Should be worth every cent
And this is the thanks I get?!
Chorus: Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
This is the thanks I get?!
Chorus: Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
And this is the thanks I get?!
Chorus: Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
This is the thanks I get?!
Chorus: Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Oh, THIS IS THE THANKS I GET!?!
