Here is a deleted scene from Enchanted, featuring the cut title song with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz.

Also included is a cut introductory scene for the sequence, featuring Patrick Dempsey, Amy Adams, and Rachel Covey.

The deletion of the song meant that Idina Menzel, most famous for her work on Broadway and later as Elsa in the Frozen series, no longer had any singing moments in the film. In a promotional interview, Idina explained, "Nancy wasn't written with any songs, honestly. Patrick's character and my character are the New York people, and we don't sing. It was never written that way, and I actually was really flattered to be hired as an actress."

Alan further explained, "Stephen was really pushing for concluding the film with a song sequence and something new, not just a little reprise moment. And we wrote a title song called 'Enchanted,' where Edward and Nancy first connect, and then it opens up into a montage. Really, on practical terms, it was just really extremely difficult that late in the game to deliver that kind of song." ("No Songs For Enchanted Star", Sci-Fi Wire, Cindy White.)

Though there seems to have been some plans to include the song on the film's DVD release, the song was once again cut and has never been officially released in the years since. Idina would later sing in the film's 2022 sequel, Disenchanted.
