SZA Releases New Single ‘Save The Day’ for Disney ● Pixar Hoppers. Music fans and moviegoers have a new anthem to add to their playlists. Multi-Grammy winner SZA has officially released her latest song, “Save The Day,” which serves as the lead single for the upcoming Disney and Pixar film, Hoppers. The track is available now on all major streaming platforms.

The song was a collaborative effort, with SZA writing the lyrics and working on the music alongside Ben Lovett and Rob Bisel. Fans who want a physical piece of the movie can already pre-order a special die-cut vinyl shaped like the film’s lead character, Mabel, exclusively through the Disney Music Emporium.

A Soundtrack Full of Heart

While the single is out now, the rest of the Hoppers soundtrack is scheduled for release on March 6, coinciding with the film’s debut in theaters. The album features an original score by legendary composer Mark Mothersbaugh.

Director Daniel Chong shared that SZA’s music was a source of comfort during the production process. He noted that the song perfectly captures the spirit of Mabel, the story’s main character. Mothersbaugh also expressed his connection to the project, mentioning that the film’s positive message resonated with him immediately.
