High School Musical Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance

I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened up my heart
To all the possibilities

I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Oh

And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

Now who'd of ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight?
Oh yeah
And the world looks so much brighter (brighter)
With you by my side (by my side)

I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Oh

And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
Oh oh
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
Yeah

It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Oh

And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart

That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Yeah

And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

Overall Meaning

The song "Start Of Something New" from the High School Musical soundtrack is a romantic duet sung by the characters Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens). The lyrics are about taking chances and opening up to new possibilities in life and love. In the beginning of the song, Troy and Gabriella express their past experiences of not believing in what they cannot see, and not opening up their hearts to all the possibilities that life has to offer. However, as they look into each other's eyes, they realize that they are experiencing something new and exciting, and this moment could mark the start of something special - "something new".


As the song progresses, Troy and Gabriella acknowledge that they never thought they would end up together, but now that they are, everything seems so much brighter with each other by their side. The chorus repeats that this could be the start of something new and it feels right to be with each other. The final lines of the song emphasize this newfound happiness and the positive change that has happened in their lives.


One interesting fact about the song is that it became a hit single in several countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It charted on Billboard's Hot 100 and received a gold certification for selling over 500,000 units. The High School Musical soundtrack became the top-selling album of 2006 in the United States and the song became one of the most recognized tracks from the franchise.


Another interesting fact is that the song was initially supposed to be a solo for Troy. However, after the chemistry between Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens was noticed during the audition process, the decision was made to turn it into a duet. The songwriters, Jamie Houston and Matthew Gerrard, then revised the lyrics to be more of a conversation between the two characters.

Verse: Bb, F, Gm, Eb

It feels so right to be here with you (oh)
And now looking in your eyes
