“Can You Feel the Love Tonight” is a song from the 1994 Disney animated film “The Lion King“. It was composed by Elton John with lyrics by Tim Rice, and was performed in the film by actors Joseph Williams and Sally Dworsky as the singing voices of Simba and Nala, respectively.
The song is a romantic ballad that plays during a key moment in the film, when Simba and Nala reunite as adults and realize their feelings for each other. The lyrics express the characters’ emotions as they realize they are falling in love and that their future is uncertain. The song was later performed by Elton John in the film’s end credits and became a commercial hit, winning both the Academy Award and the Golden Globe for Best Original Song in 1995.
“Can You Feel the Love Tonight” has since become one of the most popular and recognizable songs from the Disney canon. It has been covered by numerous artists, including Beyoncé and Donald Glover for the 2019 live-action adaptation of “The Lion King”.
