They revealed fascinating details about the song's development. "Jac gave us a list of things that had to be in this song," explained Kristen Anderson-Lopez. "It had to include the five elements, instructions for the road, and a MacGuffin word they got wrong." This meticulous planning ensured the song's seamless integration into the show's narrative. Selons added, "She sent me her original outline, and it had so much information in it... so much character, so many specific things about placement, time, the feeling, and tone of each witch." His comments highlight the depth of planning that went into every aspect of the visual presentation of the song. The creative team aimed to cast a spell on the audience. Schaeffer explained, "We were trying to cast a spell on the audience, and we were sort of running it: two ideas, what's our music idea, and how do we make the show a spell?" This approach is evident in the song's evocative lyrics and the visuals that accompanied it across different eras. The result was a song that felt both timeless and relevant to each decade it represented. The video's success is a testament to the power of collaborative creativity and meticulous planning. The song's impact extended beyond the screen, with even the crew expressing their admiration for the "rockin' witch song."
