I'll Make a Man Out of You
`` I 'll Make a Man Out of You '' was written by composer Matthew Wilder and lyricist David Zippel , who were hired to write the songs for Mulan because , according to co-director Tony Bancroft , `` Disney was trying to find different songwriters that ... would give kind of different sound to each of the songs .
