๐ Ranking FOURTEEN Love Song Scenes From Disney Channel Movies ๐ฅ๐
Let's not cry because this is the LAST love songs post of 2022! ๐ข Instead, let's get excited for all the the incredible love songs we're about to hear! ๐๐
Let's celebrate love BIG this week and rank fourteen love song scenes from Disney Channel movies! ๐
We all know Disney Channel musicals are iconic because of the songs, especially the sweet love songs! ๐ However, there are some non-musicals that have AMAZING love songs as well! ๐ Most of these LOVEly scenes are from Disney Channel musicals, but four out of the fourteen songs in this post will be from Disney Channel Original Movies that aren't musicals! ๐
In this post, I am mainly ranking the scenes themselves, but the songs have a major affect of how much I love the scenes! So, this ranking is sort of a mix of both... scenes and songs! ๐ฅ๐โช
Also, I am only ranking the scenes that showed the actual characters performing/singing these songs! ๐ So, any love song that was a "background" song is not on this list! Those songs will be in future posts! ๐
Now, I can't be the only one wanting to get this show on the road, am I?!? I figured I wasn't! ๐ Let the final love songs ranking of 2022 begin! ๐ฅ๐

(from least to most favorite)
#14 - Don't Run Away (Let It Shine)
There are a couple reasons why these love song scenes rank last! ๐ First off, I haven't fully finished watching this DCOM, yet! I know. I know. I need to finish it, but honestly, the rap battle insults are a little annoying and harsh... So, there's that. Since I haven't finished this movie, these scenes don't hit on my nostalgic feelings as much as the others! ๐ However, this song is in no way a bad song and the scenes are fun to watch! The first scene is a montage scene of Cyrus creating the song and if you know me, then you know that I LOVE montage scenes! ๐ The second scene is my favorite of the two because it's basically a music video! I LOVE when the lights dim and you see them dancing in front of just the red and white lights! ๐ The reason why these scenes rank last is due to the fact that the longest scene of the two is not of Cyrus, who was the actual writer and singer of the song in the movie, performing the song! Instead, it was a scene showing the lie both characters were creating being stretched even further! ๐ The song itself is cute and catchy, though! ๐
#13 - Supernova Girl (Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century)
That was a blast from the past, am I right? ๐ I re-watched this movie last year for the thousandth time in my life and I have to say, this scene NEVER gets old! ๐ It's the PERFECT ending to an iconic DCOM! ๐ There are times in my life when this song gets stuck in my head and it gives me ALL the nostalgic feels! ๐ I love this scene because everyone is just having a blast during it! I love the energy and the vibe of this scene! ๐ The only reason it's second to last on this list is because the song can get a bit repetitive, but it's fun to listen to either way! ๐ Zoom Zoom Zoom... ๐ โญ
#12 - What You Mean To Me (StarStruck)
This scene might not be as hyped as the previous one, but when I think "love song scene" I think of a scene like this one! ๐ It's sweet how he showed up at her school to sing a song that went with the characters relationship in the movie super well! ๐ If you've read some of my OG blog posts, then you know that I LOVE school dance scenes in tv series and movies! They are some of my FAVORITE scenes to watch! ๐ So, the fact that this scene is set during a school dance is perfect! ๐ My only complaint is that this scene should be longer! ๐
#11 - Gotta Find You (Camp Rock)
One setting I LOVE more than a school dance is a calm nature setting! ๐ This scene location is beautiful! ๐ It's so calming to watch the water rippling in the background as the song plays! ๐ It's such a sweet setting for a love song! ๐ The only reason this scene is pretty low on this list is because the character Shane Gray is not my favorite! Watching this scene while knowing that the character Shane isn't really singing it about Mitchie (well he doesn't know he's singing about her yet) reminds me of how annoyed I was with his character and how fast he turned against Mitchie! ๐ It bothers me how he paid no attention to her and didn't even try to hear her side of things until he found out she was the one that sang the song he was obsessed with... like what?!? If I were Mitchie, I would have been like, "Oh, so now you like me again..." ๐ Okay... mini-rant over! This scene is very peaceful and I do love the song! I just can't think too much about Shane Gray's character while watching it. ๐
If you read my "StarStruck Sunday" post, then you know that I ranked this song as number-one against all the other songs in the movie! ๐ It's my FAVORITE! ๐ I love the poolside scene and how Jessica watches from the balcony! It's so cute when he glances up at her and smiles! ๐๐ Again, I LOVE montage scenes! So, the second scene featuring this song is also one of my favorite scenes from the movie, even if it's sad because it's after Jessica and Christopher's fight! ๐ I love both of these scenes and they're some of the BEST ones from the movie! ๐
This scene. This scene right here is what made younger me daydream about singing a love song duet with someone who was exactly like Troy Bolton! ๐ Oh, who am I kidding? My daydream was with Troy Bolton! ๐ This scene is iconic! It was the very FIRST couple duet to be in a Disney Channel original movie! ๐ Wow! History was made with this scene! ๐ I've seen this scene so many times that I know exactly when Troy will take off his jacket and when Gabriella will almost fall off the stage! ๐ There is an elephant in the room, though, that we NEED to talk about! ๐ I completely forgot that the second clip of this song even existed! In that clip, we get to hear Zac's real voice! ๐ It makes me wonder why he didn't sing the actual studio version of the song considering he sounded really good in that clip! ๐ These scenes speak for themselves! They are great. ๐
Yes, this scene does belong above Troy and Gabriella's first duet. Yes, this song does make me get teary-eyed every time I hear it. Yes, this song is the definition of nostalgia. Yes. Yes it is. ๐๐ Ever since I re-watched this movie last year, this scene/song gives me feelings I can't describe! ๐ I actually feel like crying while watching this scene! I think it's because when I watched this scene last year it was during a really really good time in my life and this song reminds me of all the happiness I felt! ๐ Thankfully, that happiness hasn't faded! ๐ This scene will now forever hold a special place in my heart and always remind me of the happiness I felt last year! So, anytime I feel down now, I can just watch this scene and feel all the good emotions that come with it! ๐ Truly an incredible carefree scene that is one of my all-time FAVORITES! ๐
We've ALL seen this scene a hundred times, but does it actually ever get old? ๐ I'm going to go with no. It does not get old. ๐ This scene is one that also speaks for itself! ๐ It's simple in a good way and one that all of us as kids were anticipating throughout the whole movie! ๐ I love the beginning when they hold hands... so cute! I love how the crowd gets pumped up during the performance and it's sweet seeing their friends finally cheer them on! ๐ I've always loved how this song mentions Heaven and how it's all about breaking free from the stereotypes of what you should and shouldn't like! ๐ This is a sweet scene that I don't have to speak too much on because I'm sure you get why it's higher on this list! ๐ Fun trivia break... what is Troy's basketball number that is shown on his jacket during this performance? No cheating. Don't go back and look. I see you. ๐๐
Before I get into why I LOVE this scene and song, I want to say that I can't believe they mixed Gabriella's voice with another person because it throws EVERYTHING off and once you notice it, you can't NOT notice it! Okay. Rant over. ๐ Younger me would have no way put this scene above Breaking Free. But, I'm older now and my eyes see things a bit differently than I did when I was nine years old. This is one of the things I see differently. To me this scene is better than Breaking Free because Troy and Gabriella's chemistry is so cute and the song is actually so good! ๐ A good piano love song scene is a must! ๐น๐ I didn't show the talking part at the beginning of the first clip, but Troy basically shares how he's not there to sing and just there to work and play basketball. But, it's so cute because once Gabriella starts singing he can't help but join in and look how much fun he has singing with her! They are so in love! ๐๐ I love how all their friends join in at the end, but they're still in their own little world and don't break eye contact with each other! ๐ This scene is just the cutest along with the second clip of the song, which is their first kiss! ๐
2019 was the year I became obsessed with the first scene! Like, OBSESSED! ๐ I would play it multiple times a day and randomly sing it ALL. THE. TIME. ๐ It's such a cute scene and the chorography is spot on! ๐ I love how they smile so many times during the first scene and even during the other times they sing it! ๐ It's THE staple song for the Zombies franchise! ๐ I love the second scene at the Zombie Light Garden... genius! ๐ก Oh, and the fact that they did a reprise of the song for the second movie just proves how much this song means to the Zombies franchise! ๐ The first scene is my favorite out of the three and it never gets old watching it! ๐ฅ๐
Younger me would be so SHOCKED right here... right now! ๐
