- Overview
- Trivia
"Mother Knows Best" is a song featured in Disney's 2010 animated feature film, Tangled. The song was composed by Alan Menken, while the lyrics were written by Glenn Slater. The song was sung by Mother Gothel as she explains to Rapunzel how bad and dangerous the world is outside her tower, so she can secretly keep her locked up and use her hair to retain her youth.
Later, when Mother Gothel finds Rapunzel with Flynn Rider, she tries to take her back to the tower, but she refuses to comply. Realizing that Rapunzel is beginning to fall in love with Flynn, Gothel dares her to return the stolen tiara, stating he will leave her as soon as he has it back.
•This song is remarkably similar to "Stay in Here," the first half of "Out There" (The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which also has music written by Menken), as both seem as though the antagonist is trying to protect their hostage, who, coincidentally, both want to go to a festival/party. In both instances, the villain is secretly hiding their true heritage from the protagonist (Frollo killed Quasimodo's mother, Gothel wants Rapunzel to remain locked up because she needs her hair to stay alive).
•Ironcially enough, Mother Gothel sings "soon, but not yet." (referring to Rapunzel leaving the tower) Yet, later that same day, she said Rapunzel will never leave the tower ever, contradicting herself.
•The song is referenced in the Descendants 2 song, "Ways to Be Wicked" with the line 'Mother always know best'.
•The song is referenced in the Once Upon a Time episode "Secret Garden", when Gothel asks Robin which mother figure to choose from.
•In Tangled: The Series episode "Rapunzeltopia", a nightmare projection of Gothel begins quoting the song but is knocked out by Rapunzel's Frying Pan before she can finish the line.
•Gothel's starting verse alludes to the fact her "love" for Rapunzel is actually to her hair, as she vaguely refers to the Sundrop Flower used to heal her until its power got transferred to Rapunzel when it was used to heal Queen Arianna. She also pats her head and touches her hair several times throughout, showing that she only cares about the power of Rapunzel's hair and she is ironically the one using her for her power.
