It’s all hooves ahead for the newest generation of fillies and friends with the latest single released from My Little Pony.
Coming off the mane event that was San Diego Comic-Con back in July, Hasbro has been rolling out the digital red carpet for the newest generation of the beloved franchise.
Over the past few months, we have seen the release of the new opening theme, along with character tracks for Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie. Not only do the songs provide great additions to any playlist and create even more excitement around the upcoming 2027 release, but they also offer some insight into these new takes on characters who have already enchanted fans.
And with little delay, next up we have our speedy pony who never does anything at less than lightning speed — Rainbow Dash.
While each of these character anthems is upbeat, fun and incredibly danceable, there is something undeniable about the techno aspects of Rainbow Dash’s track. While the others lean more toward pop, this one feels distinctly different. It’s fast, quick-tempo and unshakably infectious — just like the pony it’s based on.
Truly, if there were ever a musical track that described Rainbow Dash, this is it to the fullest extent.
This time around, the lyrics aren’t quite as verbose as the previous ones, but that makes logical sense, as Rainbow Dash has always been more action over explanation. With the focus on going, moving and racing, it’s absolutely aligned with the core principles of Rainbow Dash: action, jumping into the adventure and her need to fly at high speeds.
And it works so well for her character.
It makes sense for Twilight to be more elaborate with her lyrics, Pinkie’s to be a little all over the place, and Rainbow Dash to simply say less. Assuming this same approach to characterization continues, it even sets the expectation that Fluttershy could be softer-spoken and more selective with her own lyrics.
Each of these songs isn’t only telling us about the characters’ musical performances or giving us another glimpse at their personalities. They may also be starting to show us something deeper — how these characters carry themselves and even their potential speech patterns.
If that same characterization carries into the upcoming series, these songs are allowing us to understand these new versions of the ponies a little better well before 2027 arrives.
It’s bold.
It’s smart.
And it’s something we hope Hasbro keeps doing.
