Part of me thinks "Smile" could be the soundtrack's unexpected hit. I'm thinking back to the Vol.4 soundtrack. When we heard "This Life is Mine" at the charity concert, it sounded like Part 3 of Mirror Mirror in the sense that it would still be in the same genre. It would still be the slow ballad we'd known.

But then we hear the full song, and it transitions to rock after the first chorus, and then Jeff said, "Oh, you liked turning it up to eleven? How's fifteen?" and it got even more hype after the second chorus.

I'm not saying "Smile" is going to be like "This Life is Mine" where it gets faster/louder as it goes, but I think it could be the same sort of unexpected hit. What little we've heard does give the same "rock" style Jeff is known for, and it sounds like it happens late in the song where the max BPM has been reached.

Concerning the past soundtracks, has there ever been a song you heard during the season that you thought would be your favorite when the album releases, only for it to come out and be disappointing?
