Rice and John ultimately wrote five songs: "Circle of Life", "I Just Can't-Wait to be King", "Be Prepared", "Hakuna Matata", and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight".
He decided to take his influence from 1967's The Jungle Book. John accepted the challenge, seeing it as a chance to attract adults to his music by writing songs that the kid audience could relate to. After being rebuffed by Benny Andersson, also due to prior commitments, Rice suggested English singer/songwriter Elton John. Menken was unavailable, since he was already committed to Pocahontas. He asked Disney to find someone to assist him, as he didn't want to work on such a project alone. While working on the soundtrack for 1992's Aladdin with Alan Menken, Tim Rice was invited to write songs for this film as well. It was released through Walt Disney Records on May 31, 1994, two weeks prior to the film. The Lion King: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album for the 1994 Disney animated film The Lion King. "Circle of Life" as performed by Elton John
