Rachel Zegler's 'Waiting on a Wish' from 'Snow White' Is Winning Over Critics

Rachel Zegler, the star of Disney’s Snow White adaptation, is teasing the film with its first official song, Waiting on a Wish.

The lyrics tell the story of a girl who feels trapped by expectations and self-doubt but dreams of finding the courage to become who she’s meant to be. The song is accompanied by a music video featuring scenes from the movie.

Zegler’s vocal performance is drawing praise, with fans in the comments raving about her singing abilities. Notably, the song has been received far more warmly than most other Snow White promotional material in recent months, including trailers and teasers.

Recently, Zegler responded to criticism of the live-action remake, suggesting that much of the backlash comes from fans’ “passion” for the original 1937 classic.

Joining Zegler in Snow White are Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, Andrew Burnap as Jonathan, and more.

Snow White premieres on March 21, 2025.
