10 Best Musical Numbers In Steven Universe
5. Peace And Love (On Planet Earth)
Peace and Love (On Planet Earth), from the episode, It Could've Been Great. This is a song that builds on Peridot's character, showing that she's becoming a lot more attached to Steven and to planet Earth.
Up until this point in the show Peridot has been a villain, a captive and now a reluctant ally as the cluster threatens to hatch and destroy everything on the planet (which she happens to be trapped on). In many ways this song sets up a major turning point for the character which is paid off in the following episode.
In the musical number, Steven is trying to bond with Peridot by teaching her about music, as he sings a song about life on earth while they construct the drill to stop the cluster. It's the perfect set up to her betrayal and ultimate redemption that take place in a two episode arc which acts as a prelude to the hatching of the cluster.
