After seeing that Te Fiti is “gone”, Moana realizes that Te Kā is actually Te Fiti without her heart. Moana asks the ocean to clear a path for Te Kā to approach her and, gently but confidently, Moana asks Te Kā to remember who she truly is. At the end of the scene Moana and Te Kā perform hongi, a form of greeting from New Zealand, to greet each other.

Moana is finally able to restore Te Fiti’s heart and the island goddess returns to her normal lush and verdant self. In gratitude, she gives a new canoe to Moana and a new magical hook to Maui before lying down and returning to her island form.

Even though this is one of the shortest songs on the soundtrack, it is a metaphor to the disputes around the world. It describes how anger and agony might be fuelled by the insensitive acts of other people.
