Naomi Scott Opens Up About Jasmine's Solo Song 'Speechless' in 'Aladdin'

Naomi Scott hides under the giant hood of her coat while arriving back at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Thursday (March 21).

The 23-year-old actress recently spoke to USA Today about Jasmine’s new song in the upcoming live-action movie, Aladdin.

The track is called “Speechless,” with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

Naomi calls the power ballad a very emotional “belter. It’s a punch in the face. Let’s put it this way, it’s the hardest song I’ve ever sung in my entire life.”

She adds that the song is very timely, as well, with it being about Jasmine finding her own voice and the courage to speak out for her people.

“I mean, how timely is that? (Jasmine’s) not perfect. She doesn’t get it right all the time. It’s just showcasing that she gets to a point where, ‘It’s not going to be easy and I may lose this fight, but I need to step up.’”

“I’m incredibly connected to it, but I really do feel like it’s going to touch upon some things and hopefully speak to young girls out there. That’s my aim, always,” Naomi added.

Aladdin is set to hit theaters on May 24th.
