Hello! So, I don't know how many people are going to agree with me on this, but it's been on my mind for so long and I feel the need to say it, so I will. Hopefully Belllieve share the same feelings. So, Billlie released this song earlier this year, and when I tell you it bops, IT BOPS! It's such a good song! I listen to it all the time. You should too, if you don't already.
You know what else came out this year? I'll give you a hint: it's from a really big company. Yes, you guessed it, Strange World by Disney! I haven't seen the movie admittedly, but I did watch the trailers and a few reviews of it. I'll be honest, Disney messed up the marketing of that movie so bad it's hilarious. But that's a story for another day.
One thing I really wish they did for their trailers for the movie (yet they very sadly didn't do) is include Billlie's song in the background, at least for a part of the song. I know the first and obvious thing that people will point out is that they have the same name, and that is true, but I have more reasons for why they should have used it besides just the same name. Listen to this part:
It would fit excellently with the theme of discovering a whole strange, new world. In fact, if you listen to the lyrics of the whole chorus, all of it would make sense within the movie, or at least somewhat fit to an extent. Also, to people who are not familiar with K-Pop or how it can be, you could even argue that the song may sound "strange" to them, even further making it a great choice to use. Plus, the movie is supposed to be a relative fun, light-hearted movie (it is an animated kids movie after all), and this song sounds fun to me. Really, it's the perfect song to use.
Lastly, using that song would give Billlie so much extra exposure, even as bad as Disney advertised it, and the song is nugu enough that they probably wouldn't have to spend too much money on being allowed to use the song in said trailers. What's in it for Disney though? A bunch of K-Pop stans flocking to see the movie that used a K-Pop song to advertise it, and who want to support it because of that. All in all, you're telling me that Disney has how many employees in their advertising department, and not a single one was a K-Pop stan who thought to use this song in the advertising? To shame Disney, to shame.
All in all, what do you think? Is this a good idea, or bad one? Should Disney have used the song, or not? Why? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Be respectful and have a great day/night!
