"Once Upon a December," also known as "Foi no mês de Dezembro" in Portuguese, is a song from the Disney animated film "Anastasia." The original key of the song is in B minor. The music was composed by Stephen Flaherty, with lyrics by Lynn Ahrens. The English version of the song was performed by Liz Callaway, while in Portuguese, it was performed by Kátia Coutinho. Interestingly, "Once Upon a December" was initially written for the 1997 film adaptation of "Anastasia," produced by Fox Animation Studios, but it became popularly associated with Disney due to the studio's later acquisition of the film's distribution rights. The song serves as a reflection of the protagonist's past and her efforts to rediscover her identity. It features a memorable and haunting melody, blending elements of both sweetness and melancholy to convey a sense of longing and nostalgia.
