I still get a little giddy thinking about that catchy opening from 'Tangled' — the song is 'When Will My Life Begin?'. If you’re wondering who owns the copyright to the lyrics, the short, practical version I turn to is: Glenn Slater wrote the lyrics, but the copyright is held by Disney (through its music publishing arm). In my evening-of-rambling-about-movies mood I went hunting through credits and industry listings before, and Disney songs from that era are almost always published and controlled by a Walt Disney publishing entity, so they’re the ones who grant permissions.

If you want to print the lyrics, post them in full, adapt them, or use them in a video, you’ll need permission from the publisher (typically Walt Disney Music Company or Disney Music Publishing/Disney Music Group). For live performances, venues and broadcasters usually clear performance rights via PROs like ASCAP—Disney’s songwriting and publishing catalog is registered there. For covers on streaming services, you’d use mechanical licenses, but sync uses (putting the song to images) require a separate sync license from the publisher. I learned this the hard way once when I tried to put a Disney song in a fan video; even short clips can trigger takedowns without the right licenses.

If you’re planning any kind of reuse, look up the song in ASCAP’s database or contact Disney Music Publishing directly. They’ll tell you what’s allowed and what costs are involved. And if you’re just humming it at home—go ahead, sing loud; that part is free.

I tend to think about this technically: the lyricist credited for 'When Will My Life Begin?' is Glenn Slater, and Alan Menken did the music for 'Tangled'. That tells you who created the work, but copyright ownership is a separate issue. In the movie-music world, songs written for a studio film are often created under work-for-hire agreements or assigned to the studio’s publishing arm, which means the studio (Disney) ends up owning the copyright even though the writers are credited as creators.

From a legal-perspective, that usually means the publisher — often Walt Disney Music Company or Disney Music Publishing — controls reproduction, printing, synchronization, and licensing. Performance rights (public performance, radio, streaming) are handled through a PRO like ASCAP or BMI, and mechanical or streaming royalties flow through licensing agencies (historically HFA, now the MLC for streaming in the U.S.). If you want to use the lyrics in a project, you’d request a print or sync license from the publisher; for covers, a mechanical license suffices for audio-only distribution. Also note copyright duration: if the studio owns it as a corporate work, the term is typically 95 years from publication under U.S. law, so it remains protected for decades.

I’d recommend checking ASCAP’s repertory entry for the song or contacting Disney Music Publishing for definitive confirmation and licensing terms before doing anything public with the lyrics.

I don’t usually go straight to legal texts, but when I checked out 'When Will My Life Begin?' I found Glenn Slater listed as the lyricist while Disney handles publishing and licensing. Practically speaking, that means the lyrics are copyrighted and controlled by Disney’s music publishing arm (you’ll see Walt Disney Music Company or Disney Music Publishing in the credits and PRO listings). For personal singing or quoting a tiny line in a review you’re probably fine, but printing full lyrics, posting them online, or syncing them to video requires permission from the publisher. Covers need mechanical licenses; videos need sync licenses — different permissions for different uses. If you’re planning anything beyond a friendly sing-along, search the ASCAP/BMI database or reach out to Disney Music Publishing to get the proper clearance.

The song 'When Will My Life Begin' from "Tangled" will soon be humming around among Disney fans everywhere. Here are the words to that- "Seven AM, the usual morning line up Start on the work at hand and sweep 'til it's been cleaned away. Take pride in labor for awhile but when most things are cleared off, Take your laundry out--this is also fun! Then do all this scrubbing and slapping scrubbing. But right around then, you heard of course reved up again, your brush swept loudly over 7:25." The protagonist of Tangled, Rapunzel, did what she did

What Do The When Will My Life Begin Lyrics Mean?

I still hum that melody when I'm doing something boring, and that tiny ritual tells you exactly what the lyrics of 'When Will My Life Begin?' are about: restless curiosity wrapped in routine. From my point of view as someone who loves daydreaming, the song is Rapunzel cataloguing the safety of small tasks—painting, reading, baking—while her heart naggingly asks for the bigger story she suspects is out there. It's an 'I-want' moment in musical terms, a gentle protest against being stalled by fear or circumstance. The deeper bit that gets me is the tension between comfort and risk. The lyrics read like a to-do list that doubles as a promise to herself: I'll keep doing these things until something changes. That makes it both hopeful and sad. Hopeful because she believes in possibility, sad because all those talents and curiosities are being stored up instead of being shared. When the song progresses in the film, you can feel it shift from idle wondering to the first sparks of decision—so it becomes less about waiting and more about the mental rehearsal before you finally step out. It speaks to anyone who's ever lived inside a routine and felt the itch to break it, which is why it still hits me every time I hear it.

That upbeat morning singalong from 'Tangled' always puts a goofy smile on my face, but I should be upfront: I'm sorry — I can't provide the full lyrics to 'When Will My Life Begin'. What I can do is give a short excerpt and a proper rundown. A tiny snippet you can sing under your breath is: "7 AM, the usual morning lineup" — short and sweet, under 90 characters. The whole song is written by Alan Menken (music) and Glenn Slater (lyrics) and it traces Rapunzel's optimistic but restless mornings as she fills time in the tower with chores, hobbies, and daydreams. Musically it moves from bouncy, domestic energy to a quieter, wistful curiosity about the world outside. If you want the official text, the best places to look are Disney’s own channels: the official Disney Music site, the lyric video or soundtrack listings on YouTube, or licensed music services like Spotify and Apple Music (they often show synced lyrics). You can also buy the official soundtrack or the published sheet music if you’d like to sing along properly. For me, hearing the song always makes me want to repaint my own little corner of the world.

Where Can I Stream When Will My Life Begin Lyrics In A Video?

I still get goosebumps every time those first guitar notes from 'When Will My Life Begin' hit—so if I'm hunting for a lyric video, I usually start at YouTube. The official Disney or DisneyMusicVEVO channels often host clean, authorized clips or lyric videos. Search for "When Will My Life Begin lyric video official" and look for uploads from verified channels to avoid low-quality or taken-down copies. If I want something that stays on my phone and shows the words while I sing, I’ll open Apple Music or Spotify. They don’t always have a video with on-screen lyrics, but Apple Music and Spotify (plus apps like Musixmatch) can sync the words as the track plays. For a proper sing-along experience I’ve also checked karaoke apps like Karafun or Smule, and occasionally Amazon Music shows a lyrics display too. Another reliable route is watching the whole film 'Tangled' on a licensed platform or a sing-along edition—those let you hear the song in context and sometimes come with subtitles so you can follow along. Bottom line: for a video with lyrics, YouTube (official channels) is my go-to, and for synced lyrics while streaming, Apple Music, Spotify, or Musixmatch work great. Happy singing—Rapunzel would cheer you on.

Who Wrote When Will My Life Begin Lyrics For Tangled?

If you’ve ever found yourself humming the opening sequence of 'Tangled' while doing dishes, here’s the credit that matters: the lyrics for “When Will My Life Begin?” were written by Glenn Slater, and the music was composed by Alan Menken. I’m the kind of person who reads soundtrack liner notes like plot twists, so this one stuck with me—Mandy Moore’s Rapunzel brings Slater’s playful, domestic-versus-dreaming words to life, and Menken’s sweeping, theatrical melodies frame them perfectly. Menken is basically Disney musical royalty (think the lush, catchy style behind films like 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Aladdin'), and Slater brought modern, witty lyricism that fits Rapunzel’s mix of boredom and wonder. The result is a song that’s both a character moment and a classic Disney showpiece. I always love how the lyrics list little chores and daydreams in a way that makes you smile and empathize; it’s clever writing that earns its place in the film. If you want to dive deeper, check the soundtrack credits or watch interviews with Menken and Slater—there are some neat behind-the-scenes bits where they talk about tailoring songs to Rapunzel’s daily routine. For me, hearing that combo never fails to make me feel a little more nostalgic and a little more energized to sing along next time.

Where Can I Find When Will My Life Begin Lyrics Online?

There's a bunch of places I go first when I want lyrics for 'When Will My Life Begin' — I usually head to official sources before anything else. The Disney Music site and the official YouTube upload from the Disney channel or 'DisneyMusicVEVO' are my go-tos: they often have accurate lyric videos or official music videos that let you follow along. If you want a text version, Genius and Musixmatch are great because they show line-by-line lyrics and sometimes include annotations that explain little references in the song. Also check streaming apps like Spotify or Apple Music — both can display synced lyrics while the track plays. If you care about accuracy or credits, I’ll look up the songwriters next: Alan Menken (music) and Glenn Slater (lyrics) — that helps when vetting an unfamiliar site. For printable or performance-ready words, licensed outlets like Musicnotes offer sheet music and vocal scores, which is handy if you want the melody plus the exact lyric phrasing. I try to avoid random fan blogs that might paraphrase lines; cross-referencing two reputable sources usually weeds out mistakes. Finally, consider buying the official soundtrack or a digital single if you want to support the creators — iTunes / Apple Music and Amazon sell the track and often include digital booklet lyrics. If you just want to sing along, search for 'When Will My Life Begin lyrics Rapunzel' and add 'official' or 'lyrics' in the query. That usually points me straight to a reliable version, and then I end up humming the chorus for the rest of the day.
