[MRS. POTTS]
There may be something there that wasn’t there before

[CHIP, spoken]
What is it? What’s there?

[MRS. POTTS, spoken]
I’ll tell you when you’re older

[CHIP, spoken]
Okay, I’m older!

[MRS. POTTS, spoken]
Chip! Oh, you are a …

About Something There

The song is performed soon after the Beast rescues Belle from the wolf attack, and their initially tumultuous relationship begins to blossom into a friendship. Hints of their beginning romance are beginning to show up in small ways.

The lyrics emphasize that Belle and the Beast begin to fall in love. Belle and the Beast wonder if there was something they missed during their first meeting. Now that the “something missed” has arrived, the growing love is becoming more steady.

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. The key servants of the house are touched by the growing romance unfolding before their eyes.
