“These waters threaten, but you bring the reckoning / So cast aside all fear and questions / I need it, can I have a CHEE HOO?!” the catchy song continues.

Back in September, the actress said Entertainment Weekly in the film’s cover story featuring “a new part of my voice” — and her character, too.

“I hadn’t explored this kind of depth with Moana before,” said Cravalho, now 24, who just turned 16 when the first film premiered in November 2016.

And “this film,” she said, “digs at these low notes in these times of indecision when we don’t know what we should do next.”

“There are many deeper layers to these songs,” added Cravalho.
