"A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" is a song written and composed by Mack David, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston for the Walt Disney film Cinderella (1950).[1] In the song, Cinderella (voiced by Ilene Woods)[2] encourages her animal friends never to stop dreaming, and that theme continues throughout the entire story. The song was inspired by Franz Liszt’s Transcendental Etude No. 9 (Ricordanza). This song was also performed by Lily James for the soundtrack of the live-action version of Cinderella in 2015. In April 2020, Demi Lovato and Michael Bublé performed the song for The Disney Family Singalong on ABC.[3] The song was also featured in the 2022 Disney+/Disney Channel original film Sneakerella, sung by Chosen Jacobs and Lexi Underwood.[4]
