This song actually existed prior to Moana as “Logo Te Pate.” It’s originally by Te Vaka, Opetaia Foa'i’s group that performs original music with influences from their South Pacific heritage – as they call it, “South Pacific Fusion”. The whole group is made up of eleven members, all dancers and musicians from Pacific islands. The track was reworked and shortened for the film.

In the film, the song accompanies a scene where Maui finally has the confidence to use his magical fishhook to shapeshift correctly, and is practicing changing into different forms.
