“I Knew It, I Knew You” from TOY STORY 5 becomes the first soundtrack song by a female artist to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 21st century.
— The feat had not been accomplished since 1998, when Celine Dion’s TITANIC anthem “My Heart Will Go On” ruled the chart.
The older I get, the less I think love is something you find.
I think love is something you practice.
It is showing up.
It is returning.
It is making room for another person's flaws while learning to forgive your own.
I slowly discovered was that love had never been hiding in extraordinary moments. It had been waiting in ordinary ones. It was in conversations that continued without effort. In silences that didn’t need to be filled.
Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.
Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴

It’s a *Toy* Story 🤠
You knew it! My new original song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for Disney and @Pixar’s @toystory 5 will be yours on June 5th. I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?
You can pre-order now exclusively at https://t.co/NoneI6kxdH and catch Toy Story 5 in theaters June 19th ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
She can fly first class, but she won’t. It’s called stakeholder perception management. I’m glad this scene does not make senes to all of you, because ooh boy the corpo life is actually more ruthless irl than in movies.
