Start of Something New is the first song heard in High School Musical the movie and on the movie soundtrack.
Information
This song is when Troy and Gabriella first meet. During the "Rock the House Contest" at the teen New Year's Eve party Troy and Gabriella are randomly chosen to sing in front of everybody. At first, they're both shy, but eventually they warm up to each other and give an amazing performance with the crowd going wild.
This song is about both Troy and Gabriella meeting each other for the first time and falling for each other. It is the "Start of Something New" High School Musical as in new feelings.
Later on in the movie, after Chad, Jason and Zeke tell Troy how they tried to break him and Gabriella up, Troy goes to Gabriella's house and sings a shorter version of this song to her on her balcony to try to get her back "(Start of Something New (Reprise))". She then realizes just how much Troy truly cares about her, so she agrees to do the callbacks with him after he reminds her that it's a pair's audition.
Lyrics
Troy:
Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
Gabriella:
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
Troy:
oh
Gabriella:
To all the possibilities, ooh
Both:
I know
Gabriella:
That something has changed
Both:
Never felt this way
Gabriella:
And right here tonight
Both:
This could be the start
Of something new
Gabriella:
It feels so right
Both:
To be here with you, ohh
And now looking in your eyes
