Unleash the Magic is the fifth of six songs featured in My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games. The song was first referenced in the "Friendship Games" version of "Equestria Girls (Cafeteria Song)", and it was mentioned on Kaylee Johnston's website under the title Cinch Song. It serves as the ninth track on the soundtrack album My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. In the film, Principal Cinch and the rest of the Crystal Prep Academy Shadowbolts pressure Sci-Twi into releasing the magic she collected in her pendant and use it against Canterlot High School to win the Friendship Games.
A "DJ Pon-3's Version" remix of this song, with new vocals, serves as the fourth track on the DJ Pon-3 Presents: Halloween remix album.
Lyrics[]
- [Principal Cinch]
- I realize that you've always been an outcast
- It's not everyone at school who likes to think
- To find a student that's like you
- I've had one or maybe two
- But the good ones disappear before I blink
- [Shadowbolts]
- (Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
- Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
- [Principal Cinch]
- Now, I understand you have your reservations (oh-wuh)
- It's hard to have a brain as large as yours (oh-oh-oh-oh)
- But if we don't win these games
- Well, I think I've made it plain
- What will happen if we have the losing scores!
- [Shadowbolts]
- (Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
- Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
- Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
- If we lose, then you're to blame (ah, ah-ah-ah)
- They all have used it, maybe abused it (ah-ah-ah)
- So then why can't we do the same?
- (Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
- Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
- [Principal Cinch]
- Call it power, call it magic
- If we lose, it will be tragic
- More important is the knowledge we'll have lost (oh-oh-oh-oh)
- A chance like this won't come again
- You'll regret not giving in
- Isn't understanding magic worth the cost?
- [Shadowbolts]
- (Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
- Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
- Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
- We're not friends here after all
- Our only interest in this business (ah-ah-ah)
- Is seeing Canterlot High School fall
- (Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
- Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh)
- [Principal Cinch]
- What I'm suggesting's very simple
- And since it's win-win on all scores
- You only want to learn about the
- Magic that you have stored
- And as for me and all the others
- We only want what we deserve
- That our school will clinch the win
- And my...
- [Principal Cinch and Shadowbolts]
- ...legacy will endure
- Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
- If we lose, then it's a crime
- But we can win it if you begin it (ah-ah-ah)
- It's up to you to not fail this time
- [Male Shadowbolts]
- Unleash the magic, free the magic now
- [Female Shadowbolts]
- Unleash the magic, free the magic now
