In an interview, Rice said he was amazed at the speed with which John composed:
"I gave him the lyrics at the beginning of the session at about two in the afternoon.
By half-past three, he'd finished writing and recording a stunning demo."
Elton John sang a pop version (with alternative lyrics) of the song with the London Community Gospel Choir, which was included in the film's soundtrack and made into a music video.
"Circle of Life" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1994, along with two other songs from "The Lion KingHakuna Matata" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight", the latter of which won the award.
