- Mother_Knows_Best_(song) abstract ""Mother Knows Best" is a song written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater for Walt Disney Pictures' 50th animated feature film Tangled (2010). Appearing on the film's soundtrack Tangled: Original Soundtrack (2010), "Mother Knows Best" is a Broadway and musical theatre-inspired pop and jazz ballad recorded by American Broadway actress and singer Donna Murphy in her role as the film's villain, Mother Gothel. Lyrically incorporating a series of passive-aggressive insults, the song serves as Gothel's attempt to frighten Rapunzel into remaining in the tower in spite of her constant requests to see the floating lanterns so that she may continue to exploit her hair's regenerating abilities in order to remain youthful. The song is later reprised in a more sinister, vengeful tone by Gothel after Rapunzel openly defies her for the first time.Menken and Slater deliberately wrote "Mother Knows Best" in the style of an old-fashioned musical theatre song after the directors specifically requested one. Musically, the song is in direct contrast to the more pop-oriented singer-songwriter motif of Rapunzel's music, which are performed by pop singer Mandy Moore. Meanwhile, Murphy recorded "Mother Knows Best" by imagining Gothel as someone who enjoys being in the spotlight. Often cited as the film's best song, "Mother Knows Best" has garnered widespread acclaim from both film and music critics alike, who identified it as a notable standout amid an otherwise unimpressive tracklist by complimenting its melody, humor and darkness. Murphy's vocal performance has also been lauded, with critics voicing their preference towards it over Moore's, while comparing it to the likes of actresses Patti LuPone and Julie Andrews. Additionally, the song has drawn comparisons to the work of Broadway composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim, as well as songs from the musical Les Misérables and Disney's own The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), the latter of which Menken himself had also worked on as a composer.".
