In doing so, Menzel made history by becoming the first person with both a Top 10 hit and a Tony Award for acting.

Idina Menzel’s version rose into the Top 10 of The Hot 100 in the wake of her performance of the song during the Academy Awards.

Both Demi and Idina Menzel’s versions entered the Billboard Hot 100 in the week after the release of Frozen.

The track was released alongside the pre-order of the soundtrack on iTunes on October 22, 2013.

As sung by Demi Lovato, this song appears on the soundtrack for the Disney computer-animated film, Frozen.

Musically, the song was written to accommodate Idina Menzel’s vocal range.

“It’s about finding that thing that makes you different that’s going to make you special and extraordinary.” “Kids don’t want to stand out all the time, they want to fit in,” Menzel said regarding this song.

The song is performed in the movie ‘Frozen’ by Elsa (voiced by Broadway veteran Idina Menzel), when she leaves the kingdom of Arendelle and creates her own ice palace.

Realizing that she no longer needs to hide her powerful abilities anymore, Elsa declares herself free from the stress and fears that she’s been faced with since childhood. The song appears after an ostracized Elsa flees her kingdom soon after her ice powers are discovered by the public. The opening lyrics to Let It Go “Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know” was something Elsa’s father told her when she was given her gloves for safety. The song’s composition was pivotal in the film’s characterization of Elsa.

Originally written as a villain, co-directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee gradually rewrote Elsa as one of the film’s protagonists. Menzel’s vocal range was taken under consideration during the music’s composition.

The song was specifically written for Idina Menzel, Anderson-Lopez and Lopez stated she is “one of the most glorious voices of Broadway and an icon in musical theater”. The duo was also inspired by contemporary artists such as Adele and Lady Gaga. Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez took inspiration from other Disney films such as Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid. The song was performed in the film by American actress and singer Idina Menzel in her role as Queen Elsa. “Let it Go” was the first ‘Frozen’ song that Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez wrote for the film. “Let it Go” is one of the most popular songs from ‘Frozen’, Disney’s 2013 animated feature film.
