In "Descendants: The Rise of Red", Red and Chloe end up time traveling into the past where they meet their parents as teenagers. In this song, Red's bubbly and optimistic mother Bridget explains her life philosophy, and shows the two newcomers the campus and other students. The song also introduces the villains clique and its leader Uliana, Ursula's sister.
Bridget:
It's really not a secret recipe
A little butter, flour, sugar and a lot of positivity
Honestly, it always works for me
That's why I got enough to go around for everyone I see
Sometimes I make mistakes
And sometimes I burn the cake
But I still believe that all will be okay
'Cause the sun shines a little more brightly
When you take things a little more lightly
It's all gonna turn out nicely
With just a taste of your heart
It's likely you'll fall into something spicy
Just mix it up, you'll keep finding
That life is sweeter when you are
Fay:
Guess I'm here for a spell
Even though it never really works out well for me
One wave of my wand and it's "whoopsie"
Jasmine & Aladdin:
Call us Jaladdin
Jasmine:
He's like a magnet
Aladdin:
She's so attractive
Jasmine & Aladdin:
It's all fantastic
'Cause we're flying high together on a magic carpet ride
Charming:
That's just a name people know me by
Crowned prince isn't the way I ride
If you wanna roll together, it could be a vibe
Chorus: The sun shines a little more brightly When you take things a little more lightly It's all gonna turn out nicely With just a taste of your heart It's likely you'll fall into something spicy Just mix it up, you'll keep finding That life is sweeter when you are
Hook:
Look for a hand for a golden hook
Captain of the seas, I got 'em all shook
Morgie:
Son of Morgana, serpentine
Morgie's the name, better run and hide
Hades: Hades here from the fiery depths
Maleficent: Sharp as a thorn, I'm Maleficent
Morgie:
Now for the hottest, the goddess of darkness
Here she comes
Morgie & Hook: Uliana
Uliana:
I'm not your everyday villain
I'm takin' souls for a living
Got a torturous mind, full of evil designs
I could grind up your bones in a minute
Down in the darkest depths of the sea
The scariest things are scared of me
Say "Uliana," and watch them flee
Chorus:
The sun shines a little more brightly
The dark is a little enticing
It's all gonna turn out nicely
With just a taste of your heart
It's likely we'll make it all much more frightening
Just mix it up, you'll keep finding
That life is sweeter when you are
Seeing things brightly
When you take things a little more lightly
Just mix it up, you'll keep finding
That life is sweeter when you are
