Disney's new princess, Moana, is ready to rule your hearts in the new animated movie of the same name. Auli'i Cravalho, a newbie, is voicing the princess and Wrestler-turned-actor, turned producer, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, has now turned a voice over actor to play the demigod Maui.

In the new song released by the filmmakers, we hear cheerful tune composed by Tony Award winner and creator of Broadway phenomena called Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Maui will help Moana on her journey to be a master wayfinder. The song is basically Maui bragging about all the good things he has done for the human kind and how they are welcome for the gratefulness they may extend towards him.

Maui's tattoos have a life of their own and they do all the dancing as the demigod sings about his heroic efforts. Starting from making a room for people by pushing the sky up above the land to pulling the islands up from the see. What can he say? It's just his way of being him!

Ron Clements and John Musker, directors responsible for Disney's iconic The Little Mermaid and Aladdin are helming the project.

Get ready to ride the waves as Moana comes to theatres in the US on November 23, 2016. The film will release in India on December 2, 2016.

Watch and dance to the song!

Update: On October 29, Dwayne Johnson shared a video on his Instagram page featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda in which the duo is recording this song. In the video, Miranda talks about writing a song for 'The Rock' and says, "I knew I was writing a song for Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson so I just thought, 'What would be like the most fun thing to hear The Rock sing?' and it’s: you’re welcome."

It's fascinating to see Miranda dancing outside the recording booth as Johnson records the rap verse in the song.

Captioning the video, Johnson wrote, "Easily one of the BEST times I've ever had in my career was singing and recording our song written by the Broadway musical genius himself, Lin-Manuel Miranda," and adds,  "When Maui sings, the room stops."
