“Speechless (Full)” by Naomi Scott
“Speechless” is based on actress/singer Naomi Scott portraying the role of Princess Jasmine, a character she plays in the 2019 rendition of Aladdin. They are sung within the context of Jasmine being arrested, her kingdom being overtaken by a dictator and her quest to establish herself as a respected leader. And what she is basically telling her oppressors is that despite this situation, she will not be “speechless”. Simply put, she will not be afraid to speak out despite the position she finds herself in.
And this is not only in relation to her current situation. Rather she acknowledges that for “centuries” within her society women have been instructed to “stay in (their) place”, and she’s not having none of that either.
Empowerment
It has been noted that the current version of Princess Jasmine is “even more of a feminist” than her original, 1992 iteration. So as alluded to earlier, Naomi Scott is basically attacking, if you will, all forms of oppression, particularly against female. In other words, “Speechless” is an empowerment song which can be applied specifically to ladies. And in that regard, the word “speechless” is actually synonymous with tolerating this type of abuse in general. So no matter what obstacles the singer’s enemies, indeed even established societal institutions, may throw at her, Naomi is here to let them all know that she will never suffer such as a passive victim.
