my top 10 descendants songs ranked

12 Jan, 2025

skin and song of the day:

☆ skin: strawberry pink taichi
☆ song: blue sugar by TTTT & johnsons

i love how the skin and song i'm listening to never have anything to do with my actual posts. sometimes recapping things constantly gets boring. yes, i'm going out to eat, wearing silly clothes, cosplaying things, and the cats exist. i'm having fun in my fandoms as always. things are happening. blah blah. now for something different!!


my top 10 descendants songs ranked

earlier this year everyone i know was disney descendants-pilled. we all binged the movies and the extras, and went all fucking in on this deranged series. how do we not talk about the implications of rise of red?? IT FUCKED UP THE TIMELINE OF THE WHOLE FRANCHISE, AND MAN I COULD GO OFF ABOUT THIS SO instead i will shut my mouth. i am not a disney person (i haven't watched some of the origin movies for this franchise if i'm being honest, i have never seen sleeping beauty lmao) but my coworker who introduced us to this was a disney girlie, and we all just got addicted to it. the songs are so catchy. the characters are so funny. and it's so much. it's actually really enjoyable if you want to just brainrot for a few hours, i would absolutely suggest watching descendants. i would go to disneyland if they had a descendants area of the park, 100% completely totally. if there is no descendants area it's a rip off.

without further ado, i have ranked my top 10 songs from this franchise! i linked the songs on my list on youtube so you can listen to them too!

10. night falls - descendants 3


i might have a bit of a bias because this was the first descendants song i think i ever saw lol. my coworker who introduced us to this series showed us this on youtube to make us cringe and it was so mind boggling and there were SO MANY FUCKING CHARACTERS GOING ON IN THIS SONG and i was laughing so hard?? especially when evie comes in with her harmonious "OH. MY. GOD." idk its just fucking hilarious? after watching the series i think this is a really fun part of all the VKs in both 'gangs' teaming up and doing THEEEEE goofiest dance/fight number in the whole series. the suits of armor fucking shaking ass never fail to get me rolling. also audrey just screaming in anguish because he absolutely useless knights didn't do anything. idk bro this one is just iconic

9. i'm your girl - descendants wicked world


okay so this one is from wicked world but it still counts. i like this duet more than 'space between' because during that song, evie and mal were like "omg i'm never gonna see my bestie again we're going to be in 2 dif worlds" but in 'i'm your girl' its just about them being besties forever and having eachothers backs and i just think it's cute and a ton of fun. CERTIFIED BOP TBH. i ship them and i also love their friendship. evie and mal carrying the descendants lesbians in their slayful manicured hands for us all!!

8. you and me - descendants 2


idk what to say here i just really like this one lol. it's the most radio pop song out of the whole franchise imo, and it's the one i would go NUTS if i heard it on the radio. it's the perfect song for the end of the movie and i really like the water dancing, and i really like the message of the song. look inside and be yourself!! and it starts with you and me! i also really like the parts of ben and mal's voices harmonizing in this?? they sound so good singing together in this particular song!!

7. ways to be wicked - descendants 2


DAWG THIS SONG. i knew from the first second that it was a dream sequence but it's such a fun and chaotic idea. loike they just made the whole school go absolutely batshit crazy. also it's such a banger honestly, the dance goes HARDDDD and it's such an easy one to sing that this song became an instant karaoke classic. BAAD TO THE BOOONE WITH EVEN WORSE INTENTIONS!!

6. red - descendants: rise of red


why is this song actually a banger? while some might argue that RoR starts with a solo song and not a group number, i would argue that this song perfectly puts us in red's shoes: she's a rebel and a loner (lmao), she feels like the only one in her small world willing to not follow her mother's rule. i think it NEEDED to be a solo song to introduce us to her character and to her outlook on life. it's also fucking hilarious to me that her mom's color is red, she named her daughter RED, and red's rebellion is her painting SHIT THAT IS ALREADY RED, RED AGAIN. like girl you should have picked blue. imagine if her name was red and she was painting everything blue lmao. also the soldier's parts in this song where they're like WOOoooAAAAHHH are so fun to sing lol

5. rotten to the core - descendants


THE OG. THE CLASSIC. THE ICONIC. this is THEEEE song. what a way to start a franchise, especially with that dubstep breakdown. i can sing this entire song and sometimes it just pops into my head, especially the parts where mal just SCREAMS FOR NO REASON which are so goddamn funny (YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET!!!!) but no this iconic song is absolutely one of the whole series' best jams. completely set the tone for all of descendants and also set the bar VERY HIGH for all the songs that came after.

4. queen of mean - descendants 3


audrey going off was what i never knew i needed. i think this "twist" was so great and i love the message of this part of d3: everyone has the capability for evil, even the people you think are "good", people who think of themselves as good people can still be driven to do bad things in moments of vulnerability and pain. also her voice when she screams goes OFF and the video is so fucking hilarious of her just moving around dramatically. also her villain hair eats. WHERE'S MY HAPPY ENDING??

3. life is sweeter - descendants: rise of red


i know RoR wasn't the most well received movie ever, but i cannot lie: this song is a fucking BANGER. i love bridget and her autism slay, i love the concept of baking treats that make people happy. some parts of it are unreasonably cringe (CALL US JALLADIN) but let's face it, we're grown ups watching a movie made for 13 year olds. and the cringe moments feel so descendants, it works so perfectly. also even though the villain breakdown is at least a 6 of 10 on the cringe scale, i actually like it?? i think it's the most disney-core thing i've ever seen (mind you i don't know a whole lot about disney lol) and i love the cacophonous major to minor scale changes in the last chorus. it's silly and goofy and it embodies what descendants is.

3. what's my name - descendants 2


we sung this entire thing in karaoke with 0 lyrics needed, including harry hook's psychopathic rap breakdown. NEVER LEARNED TO COUNT CUZ IM NUMBER ONE?? LETS FUCKING GOOOO this is absolutely one of the best songs in disney history imo. uma is such a fantastic villain in every way, i love her nuanced character and she ALWAYS has the best songs. her pirate gang doing the hip thrust dance breakdown should be in the history books lmao. also the badass UMA chanting for the chorus and breakdowns are literally just so asmr satisfying, i am regularly just going UMA UMALALA UMA walking around my house like a fucking idiot. CHINA ANNE MCCLAIN YOUR VOICE WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS TO ME!!

1. chillin like a villain - descendants 2


FUCK IT UP EVIE!!! i love sofia carson. i love her voice, i love the idea of the vks training ben to be a shit person in the course of a 3 minute song. it's so iconic. it's literally just the most catchy, dancey, ENJOYABLE lil pop song, from the second it started i was like THIS. THIS IS IT. descendants 2 was a masterpiece in all its wacky and weird ways, and by far had the best songs out of any of the movies, but THIS FUCKING ONE MAN. i have no idea why this song sticks with me so much but i actually listen to it with extreme regularity and i don't even think of it as a descendants song anymore, but just as one of those songs on my on repeat. also carlos' line where he says "well if you don't, you're gonna get us caught!" always reads in my mind as "you're gonna get us shot!" and i imagine uma just pulling out a glock and being like fuck you ben bye lol. also can we talk about the fact that ben's "disguise" was him in a distressed jacket... WITH THE AURADON CREST JUST SLAPPED ONTO HIS CHEST. like ohhh yeah that's gonna fucking fool em boys! LMAOOOO also if you also love this cast and franchise there is the most adorable car karaoke video of the squad singing this song and it's my favorite thing ever. so yep this is my favorite song from all the movies so far!

my parting note is: consider donating to the cameron boyce foundation. this cause means a lot to me because of cameron but also because my dog hal suffered from epilepsy and i've seen firsthand now how hard having epilepsy can be. this nonprofit honors cameron's legacy by aiming to cure epilepsy and SUDEP. they also have a store with lots of cool merch and it's all for a great cause!
