Based on the movie and the fact that Kiera said she doesn't want to be a Princess in Simba's eyes he's stating that this is life and you can't run from it. The meaning behind this song in my eyes can be many different things.

The song was nominated for an Annie Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement for Music in an Animated Feature Production along with ' My Lullaby'.I've listened to this song over and over again and it is by far my favorite song from the Lion King trilogy. Drum: A Magazine of Africa for Africa felt Kidgo's rendition is 'the song to watch' form the film's soundtrack. Despite believing that The Lion King 2 not having the same 'impact' or 'pizazz' of its predecessor, Black Family Today thought Kidjo's version of this song was strong enough to last beyond the context of the film it was written for.

The New York Times writer Caryn James thought the 'subtle and graceful' tune was 'attuned to the film's hopeful theme of regeneration'. This teaches children the film's underlying message that 'love and acceptance know no boundaries', rendering We Are One to be the film's main musical motif that carries the piece.

Them? Us! Look at them they are us! What differences do you see?'. Later in the film, when Kiara and Kovu's love are causing rifts between the two prides, Kiara tells her father: 'A wise king once told me 'We are one'. This song also resembles the part of the first film when Mufasa tells Simba about the 'Great Kings of the Past'. It starts by explaining how life is hard to understand and ends by explaining how life works. Within the context of the film, the song is used to represent and explain the way The Circle of Life works so that Kiara and kids would understand. It is sung by both Simba ( Cam Clarke) and Kiara (Charity Sanoy), and was later performed by the four time Grammy Award winner Angelique Kidjo on the album Return to Pride Rock this version is half English and half Fon. The song was written and composed by Marty Panzer, Thomas Snow, and Jack Feldman. ' We Are One' is a song in Disney's 1998 direct-to-video film, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride.
