"A Girl Worth Fighting For"
Song

"A Girl Worth Fighting For" is a song from the 1998 Disney film Mulan.

Production

The song was rewritten for Mulan II, for 3 suitors to sing.

Synopsis

It is performed by the members of the army as they wonder what sort of woman they will marry after their service is complete, and the role they will have in the family.

Critical reception

Arthur Hu for Asian Focus (Seattle) wrote "A Girl Worth Fighting For" sounds a bit like South Pacific's "There is Nothing Like a Dame" another hit musical comedy about war between Asian powers. Still, the songs stick with stereotypical gender themes, and they still promote the idea that guys have all the fun fighting and killing".[1] Taestful Reviews wrote "A Girl Worth Fighting For" is as funny as Disney songs get, second to only "Gaston."[2] Filmtracks.com wrote "the comical piece performed by Harvey Fierstein ("A Girl Worth Fighting For") proves that people with annoying speaking voices don't sound any better when they sing".[3]
