(P.S. unrelated, but Gloriosa really reminds me of Charlie from DST. i think it's the eyes...)

This Day Aria is freaking iconic. The fandom at the time obsessed over the song.

Everyone makes fun of Equestra girls but honestly it has some of the biggest bops lmao

Mlp creators:we just need some villain songs. They don't have to be fire, nor so good that you can listen to them 14 years later.
Mlp song writers, musicians and singers: make them absolute fire. Got it.

“This Day Aria” has the honor of being the first villain song of the show, and the franchise as a whole. Prior to that, all music were happy-go-lucky songs (not to say they're bad, “Winter Wrap Up” and “The Smile Song” are still bops). But when “The Day Aria” came up, it just hit differently. All of a sudden, it was like, “Holy crap, that got real dark.” Also, songs in Seasons 1 and 2 were never used to display drama and despair.

So, yeah. “This Day Aria” was a major turning point for the franchise as a whole and remains one of my favourite songs in all of MLP.

It's been nearly a decade and This Day Aria is still a classic!

I'm not in the MLP fandom, but "We Will Stand for Everfree" and "Open Up Your Eyes" was actually really good

"We Will Stand For Everfree" hits so different. Whenever I hear her say "We will stand for Everfree!" I can't get the thought that she's singing "Forever free!" Instead, and it's honestly not far from her motive. She wanted to be free from the guy who's buying the camp that her and her family has had since forever, and she only wanted to keep it, "forever free."

I just love when cartoons for kids are actually making villians understandable instead of "I wanna destroy the world cause I have a bad day" we have "I just wanna eat to stay alive" or "I just wanna be normal again".That is something that every villian should have

The “unleash the magic” chorus is the scariest children’s song verse I’ve ever seen
Edit: by scary I mean -as someone replied - it’s supposed to be scary in a sense that can make you feel your sins crawl down your back. Which is what makes it scary. But this is just my opinion.

They hit DIFFERENT because FOUR of the FIVE were movies.

AND the #2 slot was "This Day Aria"... which HONESTLY, was a HUGE turning point for the show.

It became MORE than just funny bits and friendship problems. It BECAME the Friendship Is Magic that we all know and love.

The guilt tripping, peer pressure, and trying to get Twilight to take on the all of the responsibility for the games is so accurate to nowadays high schools.

“MLP is for little girls, grow up!”

The villains are a pure example of some actual troubles.

Midnight Sparkle was forced into an action she soon regretted. Isn’t that peer pressure?

Gloriosa was about to lose something she loved, and declared a fight against it, no matter it was trapping the people she swore to defend.

Tempest/Fizzlepop experienced childhood trauma and was left alone the rest of her life.

Chrysalis is a manipulator who had a high chance of marrying someone who they didn’t even love.

The Dazzlings wanted to enslave the whole school and could’ve even got what they wanted if Sunset Shimmer didn’t step in to help the mane 6.

As a kid I never thought about these things, “friendship is magic and therefore always correct”, but now I feel like “no no, the villains have a point”

Unleash the Magic has A LOT of Poor Unfortunate Souls vibes from The Little Mermaid.

I love "This Day Aria," partly because Queen Chrysalis is my favorite MLP villain. But I also think I love it because of the sharp contrast between Chrysalis and Cadance's parts. Switching from a selfish and cruel imposter to a loving and disheartened princess makes them feel even more evil or good than they might all on their own.

I personally think the problems in MLP are really real well thought out. I mean sure, the solution is “friendship” all the time, but the problems itself are really good. Like protecting nature, peer pressure, perfectionist…etc

I remember watching the episodes when I was little, with the 'This Day Aria' plot, and I was in a constant state of shock and awe---Friendship is Magic, but what happens when none of your friends believe you?

I swear, Unleash the Magic is really underrated. Like damn, hear those strings go crazy- it's a masterpiece.

Y'ALL CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT, THIS DAY ARIA WILL ALWAYS HIT DIFFERENT
