"Part of Your World" also known as "Part of That World" is a song written and composed by the songwriting duo of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. It was originally featured in the 1989 Disney film The Little Mermaid, and is also featured in the Broadway musical adaptation of the film. The song is sung by Ariel the title character, while in her hidden cavern which holds all of her treasures, most of which are human objects. It reveals how Ariel longs to be human and live among their culture, and how she is tired of being a mermaid and living under the sea.
The film version of the song was performed by Jodi Benson; other Disney renditions of the song include one by Jessica Simpson on DisneyMania. The song has also been performed by Olivia Newton-John, Miley Cyrus, Brenda Song, Faith Hill and Skye Sweetnam. The Broadway musical version of the song is sung by Sierra Boggess, which is on the Original Broadway Cast album. The pirate-themed rock band Captain Bogg and Salty also recorded a hard rock version of the song in 2006, facetiously claiming it to be a "mermaid lullaby" which was used to lure hapless sailors to their deaths.
