one of at least nine significant ways in which the remake deviates from its source material, "evermore" is among the film's songs that emphasize the sadness and loneliness of both the beast and belle's situations. occurring approximately two-thirds into the film, the song assumes a role that was originally occupied by the song "if i can't love her" in the broadway musical, identified by fred hawson of "abs-cbn news" as "a grand moving solo" during which the beast sincerely expresses his undying feelings for belle. in "beauty and the beast", "evermore" appears as a solo performed by the beast shortly before "the mob song" as the film approaches its dramatic climax. after the beast and belle (emma watson) share a dance in the castle's ballroom to mrs. potts (emma thompson) singing "beauty and the beast", the couple has a conversation during which the beast learns how much belle actually misses her father, maurice (kevin kline). finally admitting that belle is no longer his prisoner, the character sings "evermore" shortly after he releases the heroine from the castle, insisting that she return to her village and protect maurice from gaston (luke evans). believing that belle has been lost to him forever, the beast is heartbroken by the character's departure and laments his misfortune by performing "evermore", accepting that releasing his former prisoner makes breaking the enchantress' spell more difficult, even impossible. serving as a culmination of both the beast's personal and emotional journeys, tracy goldman of "the" "cornell daily sun" observed that the song "adds more depth to the character" by "highlighting the changes he goes through throughout the movie."

"beauty and the beast: original motion picture soundtrack" continues to be best remembered for spawning the dion-bryson single, which established itself as an instant classic. the success of song is believed to have established dion as a bankable recording artist. before agreeing to record "beauty and the beast", dion had been fired from recording the theme song of "an american tail: fievel goes west" in favor of the more well-known linda ronstadt. although both singles were released around the same time, the success of dion's song ultimately eclipsed ronstadt's "dreams to dream". biography.com referred to "beauty and the beast" as dion's "real breakthrough into pop music stardom". according to lifetime, the song "cemented her international success," while "people" wrote that the release of "beauty and the beast" is when the singer truly went "global". in the wake of "beauty and the beast"'s success, young fans who had not yet learned dion's name would simply refer to her as "beauty and the beast". the commercial success of "beauty and the beast" ultimately earned dion a $10 million recording contract with sony music international; the song was then included on dion's successful self-titled studio album, serving as the record's "cornerstone". american musician prince was so moved by dion's performance on "beauty and the beast" after hearing it on the radio that he personally wrote a song for her to include on the album. according to filmtracks.com, "beauty and the beast" offered "a glimpse at a forthcoming mega-movie song presence for celine dion". evidently, the singer has since recorded the theme songs of several blockbuster films, including "when i fall in love" from "sleepless in seattle" (1993), "because you loved me" from "up close & personal" (1996) and finally her signature song "my heart will go on" from "titanic" (1997). "beauty and the beast" has since appeared on several of dion's greatest hits albums, while the singer has returned to disney as a special guest to host various segments for certain "beauty and the beast" re-releases.
