10 'Steven Universe' Songs Everyone Should Know
10 'Steven Universe' Songs Everyone Should Know
Steven Universe, Cartoon Network's popular, critically-acclaimed animated series, has become known as one of the queerest shows on television! One of the ways the show expresses queerness is through musical numbers that range from Broadway-style, show tunes to contemporary pop! And we're living for all of it!
So here are ten songs from Steven Universe that everyone should know! (FYI, all of the songs on this list are available on the official Steven Universe, Vol.1 soundtrack!)
"Stronger Than You"
Sung by singer Estelle in the Steven Universe episode "Jailbreak," this song is an empowering, queer anthem about how love can be powerful enough to withstand any haters or adversity. Estelle, who also voices the character Garnet, perfectly combines her singing voice with Garnet's cool, confident attitude.
"We Are the Crystal Gems (Full Version)"
While the TV version of the Steven Universe theme song is a cute, thirty-second bop, the full version is a triumphant rallying cry for the main characters. This song lets you know exactly who The Crystal Gems are and why they fight to protect the earth from evil. Standout lyrics include Pearl's stirring vow to protect the earth and Garnet saying she fights for the place where she is free to be herself.
"Do It For Her"
In this duet, Pearl (voiced by Deedee Magno) is instructing Steven's friend Connie (voiced by Grace Rolek) on the art of swordfighting while reminiscing about her time protecting Rose Quartz. The song does a fantastic job of conveying Pearl's underlying love for Rose, her dedication to her, and Connie's determination to protect Steven. However, the song also hints at Pearl's underlying personal issues.
"It's Over Isn't It?"
In one of her best vocal performances as Pearl, Deedee Magno laments the loss of Rose Quartz and their past relationship. This heart-wrenching performance was originally seen in the episode "Mr. Greg," and features Pearl singing and dancing in a swank tuxedo and top hat.
"What's the Use of Feeling?"
Sung by award-winning, Broadway actress Patti LuPone in the episode "That Will Be All," this song is about Homeworld Gem Yellow Diamond urging Blue Diamond, one of her subordinates, to get over the death of Pink Diamond. Patti LuPone's Broadway chops are displayed in full force as she sings with a dynamic range.
"Haven't You Noticed That I'm a Star?"
While this song was originally sung by singer and Olivia Olson, the best version of this song is sung by Steven Universe (Zach Callison) himself in the episode "Sadie's Song." In the episode, Steven sings the song while wearing a dress, make up, and heels.
"Here Comes a Thought"
A duet between Garnet and Stevonnie, this song is about taking time to manage your emotions. Appearing in the episode "Mindful Education," this introspective track is accompanied by beautiful animation.
"Something Entirely New"
There are many songs out there that are about new love, and this is one of the best of them. This is duet between Ruby and Sapphire (Charlene Yi and Erica Lutrell), the two Gems that make up Garnet, and featured in the episode "The Answer." The song perfectly captures the awkwardness and promise of a budding romance and serves as a perfect compliment to the song "Stronger Than You."
"Peace and Love on the Planet Earth"
A really cute song mainly between Peridot (Shelby Rabara) and Steven Universe, this song has Peridot coming to terms with her new life on Earth. Featured in the episode, "It Could've Been Great," this song is especially sweet given how Peridot is usually an objective, logical character. All in all, this song allows for a fun, tender moment between all the Crystal Gems.
"Love Like You"
Sung by Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar, this song served as the end theme for many episodes of the series in the past, most notably, the episode "Bubbled." The song serves to represent several characters in Steven Universe as they learn to love themselves and love others.
