10 Best Musical Numbers In Steven Universe
1. Let's Only Think About Love
This musical number is coming on the heels of a lot of drama. The short of it is that Steven escaped imprisonment by the Diamond Authority only to be hit with the bombshell revelation that Rose Quartz was Pink Diamond.
Meanwhile the conflict with home world seems far from over and everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop. Emotions are running high and the future seems less than certain.
However there is one bright spot in all of this darkness, Sapphire and Ruby are finally getting hitched. The song is about how Steven just wants to put all of the dark feelings aside for one day and enjoy the happy occasion.
This musical number from the two part episode Reunited is a masterpiece of dualism. It keeps the dramatic elements ever present while remaining lighthearted and fun. It's serious and emotional and also whimsical.
Let's Only Think About Love is a perfect prelude to the big events of the episode and stands on it's own as a great piece of storytelling and a very catchy tune.
