Soooo.. inspired this post (and no, you can not be a "secret collab", did you learn NOTHING from the movie?? ) We were talking about High School Musical like a normal adults do and you know ... the songs weren’t just catchy they were doing something deeper.
“Breaking Free” → permission to expand
“What I’ve Been Looking For” → being seen without performing
“We’re All in This Together” → co-regulation, belonging, support
At its core, the whole soundtrack is about connection, expression, and not having to choose between who you are and where you belong. 💚
Maybe that’s why it hit so hard for so many of us growing up. I know atleast they do to me.. If I am driving to you, you better believe I was screaming Breaking Free on top of my lungs in the car. It wasn’t about being perfect, it was about being allowed.
Okay, now I’m curious 👇🎶 Which High School Musical song still lives rent-free in your head - and why?
Also for fun.. Were you?
