"'Zero'" is a song by American pop rock band Imagine Dragons, who co-wrote it with their producer John Hill. It is the second single from the band's fourth studio album 'Origins'. The song is featured in the Disney animated film 'Ralph Breaks the Internet' and was included in its second official trailer and its soundtrack.
Background
Dan Reynolds, the band's frontman, said that "[the] song speaks to" the title character's struggle for self-acceptance, which the band resonated with, while the film's co-director, Rich Moore, called the song "a bold choice for an end-credit song because it's about someone who feels like a zero, someone who hasn't always felt worthy, someone who's allowed his entire sense of self to rely on a single friendship". Phil Johnston, the film's co-writer and co-director, said that Ralph's insecurity is a feeling everyone can relate to, "but the song tells us were not alone. They nailed the theme of the movie in a way that also makes you want to dance."
Critical reception
Markos Papadatos of 'Digital Journal' stated that the song is "worth more than just a passing glance, and it garners two thumbs up."
Music video
A music video for the song was released on October 23, 2018. The video takes place in an arcade, and promotes the Disney animated film 'Ralph Breaks the Internet'. It has received over 65 million views as of September 2020.
