What's the story?

For Pixie Hollow Games, Disney Channel star Zendaya (Shake It Up!) sings DIG DOWN DEEPER, an inspiring, "go get 'em" anthem that cheers on Tinker Bell and her friends as they compete as the underdogs in the Pixie Hollow Games.

Is it any good?

 

"Dig Down Deeper" is a fun, upbeat song that's meant to encourage the underdog in all of us to "dig down deeper" and do the best we can. Of course it's fun to win, to "take a chance and make the leap" to find the winner inside. Just make sure your little pixies understand that winning isn't what's most important -- it's working hard and doing your best.

Alright Seriously? Horrible Cheesy Song.
It might be good for little kids, but for older kids like me, ug, this song sucks. It has a good message and all, and the beat is catchy. But the LYRICS?!?! WHO WRONG THAT SONG!?! really, just some lyrics are horrible..
