I Won't Say (I'm in Love)
"I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" is a song written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist David Zippel for Walt Disney Pictures' 35th animated feature film "Hercules" (1997).
Included on the film's soundtrack, the song is performed by American actress and singer Susan Egan in her role as Meg, the film's heroine and Hercules' love interest, while singers Cheryl Freeman, Lillias White, Vaneese Y. Thomas, LaChanze and Roz Ryan provide girl group-style backup vocals as the Muses.
"I Won't Say (I'm in Love)
" is a mid-tempo R&B and doo-wop ballad reminiscent of the 1950s music that incorporates elements of Motown music and teen pop.
Similar in style to songs recorded by American girl groups
The Ronettes and The Supremes, its lyrics are about denying having romantic feelings for someone and parody those of traditional love songs.
In its accompanying musical sequence, Meg realizes that she has reluctantly begun to fall in love with Hercules but constantly refuses to admit this.
Meanwhile, the Muses insist that she stop denying her feelings for him and embrace them instead.
"I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" was written to replace a slower, more emotional ballad Menken had originally intended for Meg, entitled
"I Can't Believe My Heart"; the song was discarded because Meg's animator Ken Duncan felt that it did not complement her strong personality.
Menken based
"I Won't Say
(I'm in Love)" on songs he had written for his musical "Little Shop of Horrors" (1982).
"I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" has been positively received by both film and music critics, who enjoyed its girl group-inspired arrangement, as well as Egan's sultry delivery and the song's refreshing difference from traditional Disney ballads; some critics even dubbed it the film's best song.
While not one of Disney's most popular songs, "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" has developed a reputation as one of the studio's most underappreciated.
American singer Belinda Carlisle recorded a pop rock version of "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" for the film's soundtrack.
American girl group
The Cheetah Girls covered the song in 2005.
