A love song with a message that basically means “Even if I’m pretending to be someone else, I hope you can love me for who I am.”, is a message I don’t hear often. Man I miss this movie.
You know, there's very clever writing that went into this song that I didn't pick up on until many years later, after growing up, and falling in and out of love a couple times. On one hand this can be taken very simply as a love song, that they're falling in love with each other (what I thought as a child), but that's doing a massive disservice to the central theme of the song. You could also take this as them wanting to be with someone who truly will love them. Wanting someone who will "love me for me." It's easy to see this on the king's side of this song. This is after all a political marriage. The girl could easily be after him for the wealth to secure the health of her kingdom. In which case, it wouldn't be love. So he wants her to love him for who he is as a person, and not to be seen as a source of wealth and stability. But then we get into the pauper's role in this song and this is where the clever writing shines. Since she is posing as the princess, the king doesn't see her for who she truly is. He doesn't know her real identity and fears that he might not love her if he knows that she is a peasant. "Could I be the one you're seeking? Will I be the one you choose? Can you tell my heart is speaking? My eyes will give you clues." These few lines are where her feelings are the clearest. She knows she's not the princess, and doesn't know if she'll still choose her. She wants to tell him, but can't because it will blow her cover. So her only way to communicate it is through her eyes. "Hope will blossom by believing." At this point, she turns to hoping that he'll still choose her. A truly beautiful song.
YES! You took the words right out of my mouth! I was just about to comment a similar thing. Literally brought me to tears when I listened to each lyric in detail not only because of the nostalgia but also because of how this song is meant for the King and the Erica. Little did I knew the true meaning behind this song. Glad I'm not the only one!
Don't get me started with the fact that Dominick had to wait for Erika while she pursues her dreams. In this song, it's obvi that Erika's falling but instead of being with him, she's shown little girls how important it is to go after your dreams. The level of self-love 😩❤️, and Dominick's patience and understanding, I just can't with these two.
Yes! Though you see that love is as important and as great as your dreams, you don't give up your whole life to love! Sometimes, you can't avoid setting aside love and so your duty and dreams comes at first because it's one of the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS your heart will most definitely regret.
I'm an adult now, but I'll never get over this movie. The songs and dialogue carry so much weight. It amazes me how easily kids movies like this are dismissed just for being "kids movies." But some of these Barbie films, especially the older ones from 2001-2007 or so, really seem so carefully and lovingly crafted in terms of their themes and character development. One line from the beginning of this movie always stands out so much to me: "You would think that I'm so lucky that I have so many things. I'm realizing that every present comes with strings." I was mind-blown as an adult when I realized how deep that was lol.
Yes so did I, back then when I was a kid I just sang it without knowing what it means. But as I grow up, I realize that the lyrics is much more than that
Sameee I prefer the old ones and for the movies? I like barbie's looks in the old movies but I guess the new look is for this generation? I prefer the old one tho :)
Me too! Me too!!!!!! I personally do not like this new animation at ALL!!!! I think it’s just cheaper to make, and they’re making more money off of that then. But I really miss the good old days, when they actually took the time to make bloopers! 6yr old me thought it was real cause of that, and I miss that feeling!!!😞😢
yeah so what its just a fucking opinion of yours, this doesnt deserve 1K likes u piece of shit dont ever comment on Barbie songs again get a fucking life u piece of bullshit that shitted on this comment section
I love how she's not throwing herself at him and she's saying how things might or might not turn out well, but she'll stick by him if he loves her. Just. GOALS.
+Bekah Alphonso I know right! They both respect each other and want to make sure the other loves them for who they are before making out, how a relationship is supposed to be ^^
Yo, Dominick was an absolute HERO!! he knew, he KNEW that Erica wasn't Annalise, but did he say shit? No, did he expose her? No! And at the end of the movie he MARRIES Erica. I mean, what??!! We STAN this king of kings!!
@@fofeeefopeefo2634 😂😂😂 I can't believe I'm gonna say this about a BARBIE movie, but you remember the bathroom scene? When Erika was winging to Wolfie? Domminik walked by and SAW HER 😂😂 She wasn't wearing her wig
Wait, how come Derick was still shocked when everyone found out that she wasn’t Anneliese?? Also, did he not tell on her at that point because he was already falling in love with her?? Edit: Also, my apologises. I meant Dominick lol.
The lines “Who can say where we’ll go? Who can promise what will be? But I’ll stay by your side if you love me for me.” Is very beautiful! To me it means that although we do no not know what the future holds or where our paths may lead us to but one thing I am certain is to be right by your side no matter what happens if you promise to love me for who I am.
I may be a guy, but I can't stop remembering this song . This is one of the most romantic songs I've ever heard and one of the best barbie songs I've ever heard. This is the best Barbie movie I've ever watched. I still cannot believe that 10 years have passed since this Barbie movie was made (2004 - 2014). NOSTALGIA :') EDIT: Still here in August 2020. Can't believe this comment is 6 years old already. Boy, how fast time is moving. Also, my first 1000 likes! Thanks everyone :) Forgot to mention this, I have my little sister to thank :) I've watched all the Barbie movies that have been released so far, and please don't hate me if my opinions below are different to yours: FAVOURITE BARBIE MOVIE OF THE 2000s: Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper (2004), which is still my favourite Barbie movie of all time. FAVOURITE BARBIE MOVIE OF THE 2010s: Barbie A Fashion Fairytale, which is my 2nd favourite Barbie movie of all time. All Barbie movies, whether old or new are beyond amazing. Anyone excited for the new upcoming Barbie movie (Barbie: Princess Adventure)? EDIT 2: Still here in September 2024 and crazy how this comment is 10 years old, and this Barbie movie is now 20 years old already?!?! Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper 20th Anniversary (2004 - 2024). Boy, does time move really fast. Happy 10th Anniversary to the following Barbie movies (2014 - 2024): - Barbie: The Pearl Princess. - Barbie and the Secret Door.
In addition to this being the best Barbie song and the best Barbie movie, I know Princess Anneliese was supposed to marry King Dominick in the first place, but, (I've got to admit really,) Erika and King Dominick are perfect together :) King Dominick and Erika are the best Barbie couple ever!! :)
B3418 Same here haha;; Guys can love the Barbie movies just like anyone else, I don't see what's strange. They're truly works of art and I really love them.
This is the only Barbie movie where the story makes sense, things are historically accurate, the love story isn't rushed, the writers took time to make good songs, and there's hardly any magic.
My absolute favorite song from the movie. It feels genuinely romantic and perfectly captures how Erika and Dominick’s relationship is developing. It’s not just saying "I love you"; it’s saying "I’ll be yours forever as long as you love me for who I am." It’s so beautifully written that I can totally see this being played at someone’s wedding.
erica belongs to Dominic and it must be😂😂 glad they married at the end of the movie :") aw miss my childhood when I had a big fight with my friend said that I prefer Erica than Annelise
The fact that Dominic let Erica go not knowing when n if she'll return but still waited for her without knowing how long he'll have to wait is more than any guy can do for a girl i lit fell for him at that moment 😭😭😭
Your comment perfectly matches the line of the song, “Will I be the one you choose?” 🥰 By picking the blue rose it indicates to the viewer that Dominick will choose Erika.
I am a guy who grew up with these movies and songs because I did everything with my sister growing up, who is 19 months older than me. I am 19 now, and I have so much nostalgia for this song in particular. I haven't found my special someone yet, but I guarantee we will be singing this song together someday. UPDATE: Found her :)
Yes...I find it beautiful how this song and their love story is so simple, compared to all the love plots in the series and movies we have nowadays in which everything seems so complicated! I enjoy the genuineness of those two (how ironic, I know! she's litterally hiding her true identity XP). I'm a young adult, yet I still enjoy this song! >
i'm glad i grew up with Barbie instead of technology edit: i'm well aware of what i watched it on, but i meant that i'm glad i grew up not playing an ipad, a phone, etc. but watching movies that i hold very near and dear to my heart.
During that bit where they sing together, it feels like Erica is acknowledging how unrealistic Dominic's promise of "always being as one" is (maybe partially because she's only pretending to be the princess and knows deep down it's only a matter of time before she's caught), but even so she'll stay by his side as long as time permits. IT'S SO ROMANTIC
I miss barbie movies like this. Now and days it all about the barbie that lives on a beech with cellphones and groups of friends. I like old barbies. Ones with a good storyline that had morals and true love. Wish they would've kept this concept. ♡♡
I remember singing along to this in my living room when I was younger, and after I finished, my Daddy turned around in his computer chair and applauded. That made me so happy. Great memories.
I am 22yrs old and I still love this film...this song is so lovely and I dont feel embarrassed singing along to it...I really need to watch it again ♡♥♡
Im 20+ year old guy who grew up with classic barbie cartoons and songs because I have younger sister. She always wanted to be a princess and most of the life i was helping her chasing her dreams. When I was young I did not understand how well written those movies are and most od the time i thought about those movies as "kids movies". Not that long ago I started singing in church choir and when i listended few girls singing i told them that they sound like from barbie movie. From this moment i could not help myself and I searched few songs and it is unbelieveable how beautiful they are. This song and nostalgia motivated to even rewatch princess and pauper. I honestly fell in love with story, message, symbolism, soundtrack... It is not only kids movie it is masterpeace for all generstions and everythime you rewatch movie as you grow older you learn something new. I did not find my soulmate yet but when I find her i want that she loves me for me and I hope that I would be as good for her as Dominic was for Erica. I know that this way of love is possible and one day before sleep I want to tell our kids our fairytale.
this is so wholesome!! i introduced my partner to all my favorite barbie movies this past year, and I LOVE how into them he gets when we watch them together!🥺💖 He bought me the original Princess & the Pauper DVD that came with the "Bonus Music Disc" that has the OST on it, and now whenever we go run errands together I'll play the CD on repeat in the car and sometimes he sings along with me!!! 💕💗💖😄🥰 and this past winter when his siblings visited for the holidays, we all watched movies together until really late at night and I got to choose this movie to show all his siblings and their partners, lmao! It was a big hit 😆🎉😁✨
Since middle school I knew this song, it set the first requirement of how I choose my future husband. I spent hours dreaming, singing and rewatching certain parts of the movie - this song was one of them. As how much beautiful this movie is, as much my gratitude toward the whole production team, whose work unknowingly weave into my character. Silly little me practiced manner and etiquette of how to be a "fake" princess, listened to written in your heart when I struggled. I still dream of finding someone who loves me for me, rather than how well I perform in life or other reasons. The place where I'll never leave I don't know the plan of God, but once I have children, they'll watch it with me (as part of education )
Everyone keeps saying they are 20 and still love this, or 17 an still love this. No shock there guys lol theses movies are great, im probably going to love them when im 90
What makes it even deeper is that they deliberately aren’t just making promises right away, they are talking about the POSSIBILITY of love and saying if you love me for who I am, we can create something good.
When dominic sings "I'll be yours together we shall always be as one if you love me for me" that is my favorite part other then when barbie and dominic are singing 2 different lines at the same time
This song never made more sense until now. Growing up in an era of flip phones, I only ever had the luxury of playing with Barbie dolls or rewatching several Barbie movies. Yet I never understood the deep implication behind the lyrics. This particular song best befits Erica and Dominic's situation as they both are place in a position of uncertainty. Erica, of course, is in love with Dominic but knowing that her outer appearance is Analese, she hoped he sincerely loved her real self. From Dominic's perspective, he is aware that Analese is in this marriage for political purposes. He hoped he is loved for who he is as a person as opposed to his status, a king. Hence "If you love me for me" Y'all don't ask me why I wrote this essay. This barbie movie is my favorite among the rest and I had to comment on at least one of the very many song clips on youtube 😌
I'm going to make a mental note to have this played at my wedding someday. It's probably my favorite song in the whole film, and probably one of the most beautiful. I could listen to it a hundred times over and still love it as much as the very first time I heard it.
I'm pretty sure if they slapped a Disney label on this twelve years ago, people would have called the movie a masterpiece. It's just so underrated cause it's a Barbie movie.
Honestly, barbie movies are 10x better than disney princess movie during its time. The life lessons and moral it teaches. I only watched until the musketeers because it started to become modern and i didnt like it but i grow up with barbie movies since its first release nutcracker. The Barbie character is always strong and usually calm with wit. So she looks dignified and still amazing yet graceful. You dont need to be rough and act like a man to be brave or amazing, which i think made me who I am today. Its also not simply looking pretty or fall from first sight. The male leads fall for Barbie usually because they notice her personality and kindness and other amazing features. You really dont notice this until you're grown up to see how nicely written Barbie's stories are.
Do you misunderstand? Actually, the story of Barbie The Three Musketeers is a demonstration of following the dreams that the story says. Sometimes people have to chase their dreams even though everyone says it's impossible. That's it, and that's just a sign of feminism.
My friend and I have sung every song in this movie since it came out. Now we are 17 and still know all the words. The best older Barbie movie. Now Princess Charm School is my favorite
the lyrics hit different when you remember that erica is in disguise during this scene, she's in fact not a royal but in poverty. like "what you see may be deceiving, truth lies underneath the skin" CMONNNN
@@arlo4294 if you compare this song's lyrics to i see the light, they are different idk why people are bullying tangled, i bet they never watched the movie
@@arlo4294 yes yes, what im trying to say is both songs are unique if you love me for me - i will be with you if you love me i see the light - my life was a blur until i met you
Even at the age of 31, i'm still watching these Barbie movies and still have most of their songs in my playlist. It brings so much nostalgia to me, realizing how innocent I was as I child because I did not understand the meanings of these songs at all. Those old Barbie movies are amazing, they will always be my all time favorite.
I love the older Barbie movies!!!! They were my childhood!! And I don't feel any shame coming back as a teenager and listening to these songs!!!! New Barbie isn't anywhere near as good as the older ones!!!
The plot is better in the classic cause they weren't just made cause we needed a new movie but they have a meaning behind them that people can relate to
This Barbie movie holds a special place in my heart. Just envisioning a live-action remake of it makes me feel excited. Can you imagine how wonderful that would be?
Real talk, Barbie got me into ballet (the Nutcracker and Swan Lake are my dream productions because of her) and so much of who I aspire to be came from Barbie that I'm not even close to ashamed to say I'm 17 and still can quote some of these movies by heart... And let's be real, this song is just perfect for a wedding
I had an old barbie movie marathon the other day, and I learned most of what I know from those movies, im really grateful actually. And I cant get this song out of my head tbh (im 14 btw)
I'm turning 21 next week and still listening this tonight , it brings my heart at peace to feel that innocent and happy feeling I once felt each time I watched Barbie :) I'll always come back to this kind of stuff that gives me confidence to face life even if its a child movie !
I need to sing this song with my future wife at our wedding, this song just never fails to make me feel the love grow between them even through their percieved barriers. She's putting up a front unknowing if he will love her when he discovers her "flaws" and secret(s). He knows this marriage is set up to help her and still wants her to love him not just for what he can provide for her, but for who he is as a person. Just beautiful and I will never get over the perfection of this movie and I will never stop listing to it's AMAZING soundtrack❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
since i get older i felt like everything is so stuck. but when i accept myself , i enjoy more. it was all i feel the same since my father alive. thank you so much for bringing good memory to me
This is iconic and so beautiful, I am crying my eyes out, I am so nostalgic right now. These were the most wonderful and magical Barbie movies, I loved them so much as a little kid and I still am obsessed with them! The old Barbie can't even be compared to the new ones!! 💕💕💕
We can all agree that the Old Barbie movies are better than the modern one. 🥺 There are a lot to learn from them right? Friendship, Family, Love and even in Life. I know so many inspirational and motivational quotes from Barbie movies and still I'm holding on to it right now. ❤️ And it hits different now that I'm an adult. I really can appreciate the messages and lessons barbie movies has to give. ❤️
This song popped into my head one time while I was in my Grandma's car and I sang it to myself very softly however my mother and grandma heard it and said "that's a nice song Eleanor, where did you hear that from?" I said "a film" "which film?" "The princess and the pauper" "how lovely"
I remember being a little girl a listening to this song almost everyday. While I was growing up, I used to sing this everytime I had a new crush 😅 This song, this movie, Barbie in general was my whole childhood💖 Now, I'm 18 yo, and the nostalgia hit me hard, my heart skips, and tears come to my eyes I can never describe the feeling of happiness this brings me💖 I want my kids to watch this movie, and hope they feel as happy and heart-touched as I do❤❤❤
I'm that girl who used to ship Dominick with Anneliese... yeah (I was like, 7?) But of course I'm now 18 and, boy, did I come to realize all about this love stuff!
Okay maybe no one's listening to this right now.. But after yrs I'm listening to this and it brought tears to my eyes.. 😭💕 so pure and honest. And beautiful..
*cough cough* doctor help! I'm sick! Doctor: alright what seems to be the problem? Me: I am getting flashbacks of great moments in my life and I am getting emotional Doctor: wow you have the worst case of childhood I've ever seen!

I also think this song is very good, songs in this barbie movie are the best!! :DD I think it doesn't matter whether you are a guy or a girl also xd
True dat.
Im a 21 year old dude, I'd probably enjoy this movie if I saw it again tbh
I'm 18, also a guy, and I'm gonna watch it again sometime again.
The NOSTALGIA!! It's so strong!!
Glad I'm not the only dude loving this movie
I used to watch it with my younger sister, now I'm 24 and still singing to this lol. This barbie movie is the best imo.
It definitely is one of the good ones.
love zuly
This is the only Barbie movie where the story makes sense, things are historically accurate, the love story isn't rushed, the writers took time to make good songs, and there's hardly any magic.
Diamond castle!
yess. as this one non magic use hahha
Island Princess?
The shape of the skirts aren't very accurate but the bodices are
And its not full of toxic garbage. Everyone supports each other and the guys don't think the girls are weak (because they aren't at all)
I want to play this at my wedding
Simran Bajaj haha me too
Gurlll sameeee 💕💕💕💕💕💕
same
Omg SAME
Me too but I'm not sure if I'm going to get married 😂
My absolute favorite song from the movie.
It feels genuinely romantic and perfectly captures how Erika and Dominick’s relationship is developing.
It’s not just saying "I love you"; it’s saying "I’ll be yours forever as long as you love me for who I am."
It’s so beautifully written that I can totally see this being played at someone’s wedding.
who had a crush on Dominick say Aye cause I did
I still do
Ayeeee lol
Ayeayeayeee
If there be someone that similar to him in reality , I will totally be crazy😂😍😍
I had a crush on Julian lol
Sorry but Erica and Dominic are amazing together even though they are fictional
Tasha P ship them
erica belongs to Dominic and it must be😂😂 glad they married at the end of the movie :") aw miss my childhood when I had a big fight with my friend said that I prefer Erica than Annelise
the shoes that jimin hangingonatreeinspringday me toooooo!! I prefer Erica than Anneliese❤️
Yes they are my favourite couple
Yesss ❤️
The fact that Dominic let Erica go not knowing when n if she'll return but still waited for her without knowing how long he'll have to wait is more than any guy can do for a girl i lit fell for him at that moment 😭😭😭
"I will wait, I will wait for you. And I will wait, I will wait for you."
the best part in this scene was when king dominic gave erika a blue rose in a garden of pink roses
Your comment perfectly matches the line of the song, “Will I be the one you choose?” 🥰 By picking the blue rose it indicates to the viewer that Dominick will choose Erika.
I am a guy who grew up with these movies and songs because I did everything with my sister growing up, who is 19 months older than me. I am 19 now, and I have so much nostalgia for this song in particular. I haven't found my special someone yet, but I guarantee we will be singing this song together someday.
UPDATE: Found her :)
Hope you find your special someone soon!
Omg that's so cute! I'd love it if we sang this together ❤️ even tho I can't sing lol whoever winds up being your gf is lucky for real
Me too 🤣 I was 5 when I first heard it then I lived it automatically 🤣 and now I am 11 and finally found it today🤣
Yes...I find it beautiful how this song and their love story is so simple, compared to all the love plots in the series and movies we have nowadays in which everything seems so complicated! I enjoy the genuineness of those two (how ironic, I know! she's litterally hiding her true identity XP). I'm a young adult, yet I still enjoy this song! >
Wait that's so ducking adorable-
it's just like Disney movies,
YOUR NEVER TOO OLD TO WATCH IT!
agreed
CadanceHarmony Mhm
Barbie movies surpass though...at least the old ones do
i'm glad i grew up with Barbie instead of technology
edit: i'm well aware of what i watched it on, but i meant that i'm glad i grew up not playing an ipad, a phone, etc. but watching movies that i hold very near and dear to my heart.
Me too.
ye i feel bad for my cousins theyre 4 years old right now
I grew up with Barbie and Technology.
Lily Angel Hemmings Barbie exists because of technology 😂 But I get what you mean
Lily Angel Hemmings Goo for you 👍🏾
When people judge 16 year old girls for still liking Barbie movies but grown men like my little pony. LMAO WHAT KIND OF LOGIC ?
TRUE ME RN
I know 32 year old women who love barbie, like...who cares! People like what they like.
👍👍👍
Hats off to u! 👍👍👌👏
ikr XD
During that bit where they sing together, it feels like Erica is acknowledging how unrealistic Dominic's promise of "always being as one" is (maybe partially because she's only pretending to be the princess and knows deep down it's only a matter of time before she's caught), but even so she'll stay by his side as long as time permits.
IT'S SO ROMANTIC

I miss barbie movies like this. Now and days it all about the barbie that lives on a beech with cellphones and groups of friends. I like old barbies. Ones with a good storyline that had morals and true love. Wish they would've kept this concept. ♡♡
I remember singing along to this in my living room when I was younger, and after I finished, my Daddy turned around in his computer chair and applauded. That made me so happy. Great memories.
This is so cute
This is the most underrated prince and he deserved more.
He was a king, even more a reason for more attention and love
Ahhh I love him so much, he's still my favorite til now 😭
I'm having a barbie marathon while quarantined and the feels!!!
SAMEE
ME TOO
I am 22yrs old and I still love this film...this song is so lovely and I dont feel embarrassed singing along to it...I really need to watch it again ♡♥♡
Kirsty Dodgson thank you for being awesome.
I wanna cry. Perfect for a wedding or a proposal song... :) Memories.
Alice Duan IKR? :) Me and My brother sang this song during our cousin's wedding when we were just 9 & 8 years old. :)
+Alice Duan t.o.p...

I want this played at my wedding I'm 100% serious
Same! And Shine from the 12 dancing princesses
+CadanceHarmony yes!!
CadanceHarmony but that might be for the Quinceanera
Same!
I'm just like you!!!
Im 20+ year old guy who grew up with classic barbie cartoons and songs because I have younger sister. She always wanted to be a princess and most of the life i was helping her chasing her dreams. When I was young I did not understand how well written those movies are and most od the time i thought about those movies as "kids movies". Not that long ago I started singing in church choir and when i listended few girls singing i told them that they sound like from barbie movie. From this moment i could not help myself and I searched few songs and it is unbelieveable how beautiful they are. This song and nostalgia motivated to even rewatch princess and pauper. I honestly fell in love with story, message, symbolism, soundtrack... It is not only kids movie it is masterpeace for all generstions and everythime you rewatch movie as you grow older you learn something new.
I did not find my soulmate yet but when I find her i want that she loves me for me and I hope that I would be as good for her as Dominic was for Erica. I know that this way of love is possible and one day before sleep I want to tell our kids our fairytale.
this is so wholesome!! i introduced my partner to all my favorite barbie movies this past year, and I LOVE how into them he gets when we watch them together!🥺💖 He bought me the original Princess & the Pauper DVD that came with the "Bonus Music Disc" that has the OST on it, and now whenever we go run errands together I'll play the CD on repeat in the car and sometimes he sings along with me!!! 💕💗💖😄🥰 and this past winter when his siblings visited for the holidays, we all watched movies together until really late at night and I got to choose this movie to show all his siblings and their partners, lmao! It was a big hit 😆🎉😁✨
Since middle school I knew this song, it set the first requirement of how I choose my future husband. I spent hours dreaming, singing and rewatching certain parts of the movie - this song was one of them. As how much beautiful this movie is, as much my gratitude toward the whole production team, whose work unknowingly weave into my character.
Silly little me practiced manner and etiquette of how to be a "fake" princess, listened to written in your heart when I struggled. I still dream of finding someone who loves me for me, rather than how well I perform in life or other reasons. The place where I'll never leave
I don't know the plan of God, but once I have children, they'll watch it with me (as part of education )

when dominick picked the only blue rose in the garden for ericka- i sobbed. barbie creators are so genius
a song for my future husband
YESSSS!!!! They say Barbie is shit when THE SONGS SPEAK THE TRUTH!!! IF THEY JUST LISTEN TO THE LYRICS!!!
lady nyan These songs are still my jam. They're NOT shit. I say they're legendary
Yas yas
did you meet him yet? 😊
😍😍😍
Everyone keeps saying they are 20 and still love this, or 17 an still love this. No shock there guys lol theses movies are great, im probably going to love them when im 90
Dang it. This song just hits all the right spots. I feel like crying lol growing up SUCKS. I miss my childhood x
Agreed now i can't listen or see thoses movies without someone laughing at me
SAME THO I COULDNT AGREE WITH YOU MORE 😭❤️🙌🏼💯
Growing up sucks indeed. Wish I could be little again
This song honestly soothes my soul. And I'm not ashamed of listening to it over and over again.
Same
What makes it even deeper is that they deliberately aren’t just making promises right away, they are talking about the POSSIBILITY of love and saying if you love me for who I am, we can create something good.
Can we all agree this song is absolutely beautiful😍😍😍😍😍😍
Yes!!!
yea!❤💕🎤🎶
This should be the best barbie movie ever. Even the soundtracks too.
Yes! The princess and pop star was a princess and the pauper rip off
@@lunaeclipse5612 yeah I hated it a little because of that
When dominic sings "I'll be yours together we shall always be as one if you love me for me" that is my favorite part other then when barbie and dominic are singing 2 different lines at the same time
Yeah that part is gorgeous
Mine too!
I'm not just crying for the melody, the lyrics or even the situation but also I would cry for my childhood.
This song never made more sense until now. Growing up in an era of flip phones, I only ever had the luxury of playing with Barbie dolls or rewatching several Barbie movies. Yet I never understood the deep implication behind the lyrics. This particular song best befits Erica and Dominic's situation as they both are place in a position of uncertainty. Erica, of course, is in love with Dominic but knowing that her outer appearance is Analese, she hoped he sincerely loved her real self. From Dominic's perspective, he is aware that Analese is in this marriage for political purposes. He hoped he is loved for who he is as a person as opposed to his status, a king. Hence "If you love me for me"
Y'all don't ask me why I wrote this essay. This barbie movie is my favorite among the rest and I had to comment on at least one of the very many song clips on youtube 😌
this song is gonna be on my wedding day, next to Written in Your Heart
same
Keintaeng Goyeng AYEEEE ARMYYYY AND SAME
Yesssss and my future husband is gonna sing along with me. ARMYYYYYTTT
I'm going to make a mental note to have this played at my wedding someday. It's probably my favorite song in the whole film, and probably one of the most beautiful. I could listen to it a hundred times over and still love it as much as the very first time I heard it.
my thoughts exactly! i'm going through barbie music and at this rate, half my wedding will be solely them!
I'm pretty sure if they slapped a Disney label on this twelve years ago, people would have called the movie a masterpiece. It's just so underrated cause it's a Barbie movie.

Honestly, barbie movies are 10x better than disney princess movie during its time. The life lessons and moral it teaches. I only watched until the musketeers because it started to become modern and i didnt like it but i grow up with barbie movies since its first release nutcracker. The Barbie character is always strong and usually calm with wit. So she looks dignified and still amazing yet graceful. You dont need to be rough and act like a man to be brave or amazing, which i think made me who I am today. Its also not simply looking pretty or fall from first sight. The male leads fall for Barbie usually because they notice her personality and kindness and other amazing features. You really dont notice this until you're grown up to see how nicely written Barbie's stories are.
True
Do you misunderstand? Actually, the story of Barbie The Three Musketeers is a demonstration of following the dreams that the story says. Sometimes people have to chase their dreams even though everyone says it's impossible. That's it, and that's just a sign of feminism.
@@รวินท์มาศเชษฐสุมน no i just dont like their outfits. its ugly and looking modern like.
Princess and the Pauper was actually such a good movie.
best song in the whole universe dont fight me on this
i fucking agreeeee xxxxx 😭😭😭😭
What about Free?
bohemian rhapsody-
(anyway my opinion doesn't matter)
My friend and I have sung every song in this movie since it came out. Now we are 17 and still know all the words. The best older Barbie movie. Now Princess Charm School is my favorite
im 19 I still watch Barbie lol
I'm 20 and I'll keep watching Barbie XD
glad to know I'm not the one lol
Shinra Akira
21, but this was the first ever Barbie movie I watched :p
hope you like it!
welcome to the Barbie's zone XD

Barbie has a thing for finding singers whos voice sounds like an adult but also very young
Perioudt
As a guy, I always love 2000s Barbie movies. Princess and the Pauper, Diamond Castle, and Christmas Carol steal my hearr.
That was the same with me!! Oh my god, wow!
the lyrics hit different when you remember that erica is in disguise during this scene, she's in fact not a royal but in poverty. like "what you see may be deceiving, truth lies underneath the skin" CMONNNN
I miss this Barbie. I remember this movie. we still have it.
I still have the movie to

The Original Version of "I see the Lights" from Tangled.
Tangled is a beautiful movie
and its unrelated to this song
@@gaychastudiossucks5109 I think she means the romantic aspect, I see the light and this song is them falling in love.
@@arlo4294
if you compare this song's lyrics to i see the light, they are different
idk why people are bullying tangled, i bet they never watched the movie
@@gaychastudiossucks5109 She's not talking about the lyrics! Its only bc they're both a song about falling in love. And I love tangled :)
@@arlo4294
yes yes, what im trying to say is both songs are unique
if you love me for me - i will be with you if you love me
i see the light - my life was a blur until i met you
This song just literally made me cry.
When Barbie series have more heart touching lyrics than hit albums of today
Even at the age of 31, i'm still watching these Barbie movies and still have most of their songs in my playlist. It brings so much nostalgia to me, realizing how innocent I was as I child because I did not understand the meanings of these songs at all. Those old Barbie movies are amazing, they will always be my all time favorite.
Me too, it makes me tear up 😭
I swear to god I still love a bit of barbie and I'm 15, this should be my wedding song I love this 💕💁🏻
I know it's great for a first dance hahaha I love it

I love the older Barbie movies!!!! They were my childhood!! And I don't feel any shame coming back as a teenager and listening to these songs!!!! New Barbie isn't anywhere near as good as the older ones!!!
Yeah, the classic were beautiful. The story line, the animation & the romance is better in the classic ones.
+It's Nunya well i wouldn't necessarily say the animation is better, but the character designs are by a long shot!
The plot is better in the classic cause they weren't just made cause we needed a new movie but they have a meaning behind them that people can relate to
GeeklyChic Exactly!!! That was perfectly put!!!
me too!!
DOMINICK SOUNDS LIKE MICHAEL BUBLE ON HELIUM IM CRYING
he does!
You just made me laugh at this song inappropriately.
god cant unhear it now
why is that so accurate
Dang it! Why'd you say that? 😂
This Barbie movie holds a special place in my heart. Just envisioning a live-action remake of it makes me feel excited. Can you imagine how wonderful that would be?
Brilliant it would be absolutely brilliant
Even though I’m not even close to getting married, this is going on a wedding playlist to be played at my future wedding reception.
Real talk, Barbie got me into ballet (the Nutcracker and Swan Lake are my dream productions because of her) and so much of who I aspire to be came from Barbie that I'm not even close to ashamed to say I'm 17 and still can quote some of these movies by heart...
And let's be real, this song is just perfect for a wedding
I had an old barbie movie marathon the other day, and I learned most of what I know from those movies, im really grateful actually. And I cant get this song out of my head tbh (im 14 btw)
❤️
I'm turning 21 next week and still listening this tonight , it brings my heart at peace to feel that innocent and happy feeling I once felt each time I watched Barbie :) I'll always come back to this kind of stuff that gives me confidence to face life even if its a child movie !
I need to sing this song with my future wife at our wedding, this song just never fails to make me feel the love grow between them even through their percieved barriers.
She's putting up a front unknowing if he will love her when he discovers her "flaws" and secret(s). He knows this marriage is set up to help her and still wants her to love him not just for what he can provide for her, but for who he is as a person.
Just beautiful and I will never get over the perfection of this movie and I will never stop listing to it's AMAZING soundtrack❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m playing this at my wedding. Nobody can stop me.
I want Princess and the Pauper to have a musical :3 My favorite Barbie movie with lots of songs~
that would be so cool but I will still prefer the movie
Ally Narvaez Me too. The movie always has a special place inside my heart :) I prefer it above any barbie movies
I agree with all of you, the movie will always be good. But it would be great to give it a musical!
Hana Quadri but if that actually happen then I will take all my money and buy the ticket
💖
The most romantic song in Barbie history
I miss when Barbie movies were quality like this
Is it weird that im 20 now and still listening to this?
Nope, Im 19 and Im gonna love this till I die. This is my childhood. I grew up with barbie on video cassettes lol
Not at all :)
No
Iam 25
Nah....You are never too old for that.
since i get older i felt like everything is so stuck. but when i accept myself , i enjoy more. it was all i feel the same since my father alive. thank you so much for bringing good memory to me
I'm 22 but this beautiful song still be my melody ... how memories can amazed ones heart. :)
Nur Adreanna🐝😷🎀
It’s been a decade and 7 years yet I still memorize this song. How nostalgic ❤️
I'll turn 20 in a few months and I'm still in love these Barbie movies . Princess and the Pauper was my first Barbie.
sameeeee
The message and lyrics are incredible! 😭
This is iconic and so beautiful, I am crying my eyes out, I am so nostalgic right now. These were the most wonderful and magical Barbie movies, I loved them so much as a little kid and I still am obsessed with them! The old Barbie can't even be compared to the new ones!! 💕💕💕
Princess and the pauper could be made into a theatrical musical, I'd pay to see that! :D
#relationshipgoals #makebarbiegreatagain
:)
I have no idea why this is on my recommendation but I’m happy it is .
We can all agree that the Old Barbie movies are better than the modern one. 🥺
There are a lot to learn from them right?
Friendship, Family, Love and even in Life.
I know so many inspirational and motivational quotes from Barbie movies and still I'm holding on to it right now. ❤️
And it hits different now that I'm an adult. I really can appreciate the messages and lessons barbie movies has to give. ❤️
Please bring back this kind of barbie movies🤧
I'm 19 and this brings back so many memories for me as one of many girls that grew up with the classic Barbie films of the 2000s.
This song popped into my head one time while I was in my Grandma's car and I sang it to myself very softly however my mother and grandma heard it and said "that's a nice song Eleanor, where did you hear that from?" I said "a film" "which film?" "The princess and the pauper" "how lovely"
I remember being a little girl a listening to this song almost everyday.
While I was growing up, I used to sing this everytime I had a new crush 😅
This song, this movie, Barbie in general was my whole childhood💖
Now, I'm 18 yo, and the nostalgia hit me hard, my heart skips, and tears come to my eyes
I can never describe the feeling of happiness this brings me💖
I want my kids to watch this movie, and hope they feel as happy and heart-touched as I do❤❤❤
Out of all the barbie I have watched this is by far the most and the best barbie I have ever watch in my entire freagin life.
All these years later, and this song still makes me emotional.
I'm that girl who used to ship Dominick with Anneliese... yeah (I was like, 7?)
But of course I'm now 18 and, boy, did I come to realize all about this love stuff!
hahaha same!
Okay maybe no one's listening to this right now..
But after yrs I'm listening to this and it brought tears to my eyes.. 😭💕 so pure and honest. And beautiful..
*cough cough* doctor help! I'm sick!
Doctor: alright what seems to be the problem?
Me: I am getting flashbacks of great moments in my life and I am getting emotional
Doctor: wow you have the worst case of childhood I've ever seen!
Listening to old Barbie songs will forever be my favorite hobby 💖🤍💖
One of the best songs out there and I stand by that at 24.❤ Loved this pairing.
