This song is performed by Troy and Gabriella for their callback, and is the narrative climax of High School Musical. The performance takes place in the East High auditorium in front of the entire student body. Troy and Gabriella are accompanied on stage by Kelsi. Then after Troy and Gabriella finish the chorus, Gabriella unbuttons her lab coat, goes to side of the stage, and takes it off. Then they continue performing.

This performance is the first time that Troy's teammates hear him sing, and all of them are quite impressed, especially Chad. Even the cheerleaders liked it. And Taylor too.

Troy:
We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach

In a way that's different than who we are

Gabriella:
Creating space between us
'Till we're separate hearts

Strength to believe
