"Some Things Never Change" is a song written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, and sung by Anna (Kristen Bell), Olaf (Josh Gad), Kristoff and Sven (Jonathan Groff), and Elsa (Idina Menzel) in the 2019 Disney animated film, Frozen II.
During the song, each of the main characters sings in terms that reflect the journey they will go on in the rest of the film. Anna and Olaf sing about how despite things changing, not everything does, and how having each other is the best way to face the future. Kristoff grapples with the best way to propose to Anna, puzzling it out with Sven. Elsa contemplates the restlessness of the wind and the voice she is hearing, and how precious the days are she and her family have to spend together. They meet in the village's square and join with the citizens in front of the clock tower for a feast. At the end of the song, the family make their way back to the castle.
Lyrics
Anna: Yes, the wind blows a little bit colder
And we're all getting older
And the clouds are moving on with every autumn breeze
Peter Pumpkin just became fertilizer
Olaf: And my leaf's a little sadder and wiser
Anna: That's why I rely on certain certainties
Yes, some things never change
Like the feel of your hand in mine
Some things stay the same
Anna and Olaf: Like how we get along just fine
Anna: Like an old stone wall that'll never fall
Some things are always true
Some things never change
Like how I'm holding on tight to you
Kristoff: The leaves are already falling
Sven, it feels like the future is calling
Kristoff (as Sven): Are you telling me tonight you're gonna get down on one knee?
Kristoff: Yeah, but I'm really bad at planning these things out
Like candlelight and pulling of rings out
Kristoff (as Sven): Maybe you should leave all the romantic stuff to me
Kristoff: Yeah, some things never change
Like the love that I feel for her
Some things stay the same
Like how reindeers are easier
But if I commit and I go for it
I'll know what to say and do
Right?!
Kristoff (as Sven): Some things never change
Kristoff: Sven, the pressure is all on you
Elsa: The winds are restless
Could that be why I'm hearing this call?
Is something coming?
I'm not sure I want things to change at all
These days are precious
Can't let them slip away
I can't freeze this moment
But I can still go out and seize this day
Chorus: Ah ah ah ah ah ah
The wind blows a little bit colder
Olaf: And you all look a little bit older
Anna: It's time to count our blessings
Anna and Kristoff: Beneath an autumn sky
Chorus: We'll always live in a kingdom of plenty
That stands for the good and the many
Elsa: And I promise you the flag of Arendelle will always fly
Anna: Our flag will always fly
Chorus: Our flag will always fly
Our flag will always fly
All: Some things never change
Turn around and the time has flown
Some things stay the same
Though the future remains unknown
May our good luck last
May our past be past
Time's moving fast, it's true
Some things never change
Anna: And I'm holding on tight to you
Elsa: Holding on tight to you
Olaf: Holding on tight to you
Kristoff: Holding on tight to you
Anna: I'm holding on tight to you
