What is the problem child?
A problem child is the member of the family that doesn’t fit in, or has issues they can’t handle. In Disney Animation’s wonderful Encanto, Mirabel, the problem child, is expected to fix the family, which reflects the unfortunate reality where the “problem child” is considered responsible for the family’s well-being.

Context (what happens right before this song in the scene):
This takes place after Isabela criticizes Mirabel (yet again) at a family dinner…

CAST:
Mirabel: Randi De Marco

CREATIVE TEAM:
Music & Orchestration & Mix/Master by Alonso Malik Pirio
Lyrics by Mollie “astor rhymemaster” @astorrhymemaster
Art by Sumin Ha
Produced by Alexa Zachary & Vijay Nazareth

Message from Vijay:
Villain songs are THE BEST (Frollo’s Hellfire is my personal fav btw)! This one reimagines Mirabel not as the miracle, but as the scapegoat — the “problem child” whose silence has run out. Featuring lush orchestration inspired by the Disney Renaissance and classical music (Bravo Alonso!), we dug into some personal experiences for this song and hope you like it…
We’re super excited to do more villain songs! So please, if there is a character (from Disney or really any IP) that you would like to see get the Villain Song treatment, drop a comment below! Thanks for watching! ~Vijay

LYRICS:
All eyes on me, once again.
Waiting for me to say something.
Not a matter of “if,” but when,
As though these burdens don’t weigh something.

Everything kept under wraps,
“Oh, it’s nothing new with her.”
And when you see me collapse,
You sigh, and go “what will we do with her?”

I didn’t choose to be different,
But, inevitably,
Every downward spiral seems to crash into me.
Expected to take,
The blame for every mistake,
I pick up the pieces of everything you break.

Call me what I am:
The problem child.
A failure of the plan:
The problem child.
I’ll never get it, shouldn’t have said it,
If there’s a needle, I have to thread it.
So if I’m such a problem to you,
How am I your answer, too?

Call me what I am:
The problem child.
A crack inside the dam:
The problem child.
I break the silence, I bear the blame,
I shrink myself to fit the frame.
So if I’m such a problem to you,
How am I your answer, too?

All eyes on me, once more.
I listen to every word you say.
I’m staring down at the floor,
It’s nothing I haven’t heard you say.

It’s not the worst thing I’ve heard today.

From mother to daughter,
That hurt of the past still remains.
That need for protection,
That call for perfection,
When can we break this chain?

But why should it fall to me,
To carry the curse of your pain?
Why should I bear the burden,
Why can’t I get a word in?
When can we break this chain?

Because, inevitably,
That downward spiral will crash into me.
Expected to play,
This unwinnable game every day,
So why stay?

What’s your life like without me to blame?

Call me what I am:
The problem child.
A failure of the plan:
The problem child.
The cracks will grow, don’t put on a show,
There’s a solution you already know!
‘Cause if I’m such a problem to you,
I won’t be your answer, too.
