Just Sing is a song featured and heard near the end of Trolls World Tour.
About[]
The song begins after the Strings were destroyed and the Trolls discover that even without them they still have music inside themselves. Queen Poppy starts the song, asking everyone to sing together regardless. As she sings, Branch joins in, while Queen Barb turns to her father King Thrash who tells Barb to just let everyone be who they want to be including herself. Soon, the Trolls join into the song one by one. As the Trolls color up, the leaders walk by Barb, glancing at her for not joining in. They let out one burst between them and the crowd of Trolls for all walks of life regain their colors. As each Tribe sings until the last chorus, Poppy turns to Barb, who has finally caved in. Poppy tosses Barb's guitar and Barb sings, gaining long rainbow hair; as the song nears the end, Poppy herself gains a rainbow appearance as well. The song ends with Poppy, Branch and the other Troll leaders standing together united in harmony at last.
The song changes style with each singer's Tribe, and is divided into 6 sections. It begins with Pop, becomes Funk, then Techno, then Country, subcultures, Classical and ends with Rock. The bits between the main course blend together styles, and overlaps in musical instruments occur throughout the song. For example, when the Classical part begins, it harmonizes with Riff's Rock drumbeat.
In some versions, Trolls cheer, talk and add remarks in the background. These are barely heard but can be picked up. For example, after Barb joins in, she can be faintly heard saying "Just rock it!".
In 2021, the song won a "Hollywood Music In Media Award for Best Original Song, Animated Feature". [1]
Lyrics[]
You think you've gotta hide it
Don't keep it on the shelf
Let your waist start movin'
Watch the way I do it, do it
See me do it like nobody else
If we sing it all together
(If we sing it all as one)
It's louder than yourself
(All together everyone)
Everybody's lookin'
Watch the way we do it, do it
'Cause we do it like nobody else
Let me hear you sing
Don't you stop it, don't you fight it
Let me hear you sing
If you got it, can't deny it
Let me hear ya
It's waitin' for ya already
You know that you do it like nobody else
Just sing
Sing it together
Louder than ever, ever
Forget everything
Just sing
Like it's what we've been missin'
And they're gonna listen, listen
Forget everything
(Let me hear ya)
Hey, I been right here where you standin'
(I've been standin' on the ground)
And the walls are cavin' in
(All the walls are fallin')
But my lips start movin'
With the soul I put into it
And you've never heard it done like this
Let me hear you sing
Don't you stop it, don't you fight it
Let me hear you sing
If you got it, can't deny it
Let me hear ya
It's waitin' for ya already
You know that you do it like nobody else
Just sing
Sing it together
Louder than ever, ever
Forget everything
Just sing
Like it's what we've been missin'
And they're gonna listen, listen
Forget everything
(Let me hear you sing!)
(Let me hear you)
Let me hear you sing, yeah!
(Let me hear you sing!)
I want you to sing from your soul, I want you to reach with your elbows
(Let me hear you)
(Let me hear you sing!)
It's waitin' for ya already
You know that you do it like nobody else
Just sing
Sing it together
Louder than ever, ever
Forget everything
Just sing
Like it's what we've been missin'
And they're gonna listen, listen
Forget everything

Sing it together
Louder than ever, ever

Trivia[]
- If the viewer pays attention to the audience, at the beginning of the song, all Tribes are staying together in different sections. As the song progresses, the edges slowly merge; i.e. it's possible to see a Funk Troll move into the Pop Troll section, then see a group of Funk and Pop Trolls together. By the end of the song, the crowd has mixed up so much that all 6 Tribes are muddled together in every space.
- There are parts of the song that reference the original version of the "True History of the Strings" story. When the Trolls sing and colorful light comes from them, this is what supposedly happened in the original cut story of how Pop became dominant.
- Barb took almost the entire song to re-color and re-discover Rock music, ironically despite her zealous push to make the entirety of Troll Kingdom dictated to Rock, and was even seen shunned by King Quincy as the other leaders walked by her to take center stage. Her entry not only signaled her change of heart, but also chimed in the Rock section of the song.
- Delta uses the word "soul" during the Country section. Soul music was a big influence on Country and Western music. Barb also sings about singing "louder", a common trait of Rock music is its habit of being loud.
Errors[]
- Some of the Rock Trolls are seen headbanging to the song. At points, the models of these Trolls models will merge into other Trolls next to them due to animation errors.
- Towards the end of the song, all members of The Snack Pack except Poppy, Branch, and Cooper disappear from the stage.
