Plot
The song is performed soon after the Beast saves Belle from the wolf attack, and their initially shady relationship begins to blossom into a friendship. Small hints of romance are beginning to be seen as well.
The lyrical content of the song strongly emphasizes upon the fact that Belle and the Beast are beginning to fall in love. The main characters are beginning to think maybe something was absent within the first few hours Belle and the Beast met, causing them to clash. But now that the "something" is here, the love is flowing in a more stable pattern.
Lyrics
Belle
There's something sweet
And almost kind
But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined
But now he's dear, and so unsure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before
Beast
She glanced this way
I thought I saw
And when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw
No it can't be, I'll just ignore
But then she's never looked at me that way before
Belle
New and a bit alarming
Who'd have ever thought that this could be?
True that he's no Prince Charming
But there's something in him that I simply didn't see
Lumiere
Well, who'd have thought?
Mrs Potts
Well, bless my soul
Cogsworth
Well, who'd have known?
Mrs Potts
Well, who indeed?
Lumiere
And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?
Mrs Potts
It's so peculiar.
Lumiere, Mrs. Potts and Cogsworth
We'll wait and see, a few days more
There may be something there that wasn't there before
Cogsworth
Perhaps there's something there
That wasn't there before
Mrs Potts
There may be something there that wasn't there before
Trivia
- Seemingly, Paige O'Hara, the voice of Belle, had trouble singing the "New and a bit alarming" part of the song because it was rather high for her vocal range. So, Alan Menken and Howard Ashman told her to sing it like Grammy-winner Barbra Streisand, and it obviously helped.
- The song has some similarity with another track Belle, especially the "New and a bit alarming part" with "Oh, isn't this amazing?"
