"How Far I'll Go" and its reprise are two musical numbers from Disney's 2016 animated musical feature film Moana. It was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, with additional music and co-produced by Mark Mancina on its reprise.{{Citation|title=How Far I'll Go - {{!}} Song Info {{!}} AllMusic|url=https://www.allmusic.com/song/how-far-ill-go-mt0053957933|language=en|access-date=2022-01-05|archive-date=January 5, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220105053740/https://www.allmusic.com/song/how-far-ill-go-mt0053957933|url-status=live}} The song was performed in the film by American actress and singer Auliʻi Cravalho in her role as Moana. It was released along with the album on November 18, 2016. Canadian singer Alessia Cara also recorded the song for the Moana soundtrack. The song was nominated for Best Original Song at the 89th Academy Awards and Best Original Song at the 74th Golden Globe Awards and won the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards.
Composition
"How Far I'll Go" was composed as Moana's "I Want" song, following in the long tradition of "I Want" songs in 1990s Disney animated musicals.{{cite news|last1=Gagliano|first1=Rico|last2=Miranda|first2=Lin-Manuel|title=Lin-Manuel Miranda on 'I Want' Songs, Going Method for 'Moana' and Fearing David Bowie|url=http://www.dinnerpartydownload.org/lin-manuel-miranda/|access-date=14 February 2017|work=The Dinner Party Download {{!}} American Public Radio|date=10 February 2017|format=Transcript|archive-date=February 14, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170214175952/http://www.dinnerpartydownload.org/lin-manuel-miranda/|url-status=live}}{{cite news|last1=Quinn|first1=Dave|title=How Lin-Manuel Miranda's Oscar-nominated Moana Track Evolved into Disney's Most Unique Ballad|url=http://people.com/awards/lin-manuel-miranda-story-behind-writing-moana-how-far-ill-go/|access-date=27 February 2017|work=People|publisher=Time Inc.|date=24 February 2017|location=New York|archive-date=February 26, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170226233055/http://people.com/awards/lin-manuel-miranda-story-behind-writing-moana-how-far-ill-go/|url-status=live}} It replaced an earlier attempt called "More", for which the demo version recorded by Marcy Harriell was released as an outtake on the deluxe version of the soundtrack album. Although Miranda has stressed that he is still "very proud of" the song as a first draft, "More" was not good enough in retrospect because it merely expressed Moana's vague desire to see more since she had already figured out everything about the island. In contrast, Miranda feels that "How Far I'll Go" expresses a deeper, richer message: Moana's struggle with the irresistible impulse to explore beyond the reef notwithstanding her genuine love for her island, her family, and her people. As Miranda explained to People: "To me that's much more complicated than, 'I hate it here and I want to get out,' ... To say, 'I love it here, I love my parents, but why can't I stop walking to the ocean and fantasizing about getting out of here?' And questioning that instinct? It's even more confusing. And that's a valid story too."
To make himself write a song more compelling than "More", Miranda "went method". According to Miranda, he locked himself in his childhood bedroom at his parents' residence for an entire weekend in order to force his mind back to age 16 (the same age as Moana in the film), a time when he was facing what seemed like an "impossible distance" between the reality of his pleasant middle-class childhood which had no connection to show business whatsoever, and his dreams of a career in show business. He was well aware that he was composing the next Disney "I Want" song after "Let It Go" and that whatever he wrote had to be different from it.
According to the sheet music published at Sheetmusicdirect.com by Disney Music Company, "How Far I'll Go" is a moderate tempo of 82 beats per minute. Written in common time, the song is in the key of E major with a key change to F major for the final 10 measures. Auliʻi Cravalho's vocal range spans from B3 to D5 during the song.{{cite web |title=How Far I'll Go sheet music by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Piano, Vocal & Guitar (Right-Hand Melody) – 177358) |url=https://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/se/ID_No/177358/Product.aspx |website=www.sheetmusicdirect.com |access-date=October 18, 2018 |archive-date=April 5, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190405081132/https://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/se/ID_No/177358/Product.aspx |url-status=live }}
Moana's part from the end of "I Am Moana (Song of the Ancestors)", another song that also shares the last two notes from "How Far I'll Go", features the final 10 measures as part of Moana's melody.
