Unlike the traditional tale, Cinderella doesn't need a prince to save her. She enters a talent show at the royal ball to win the keys to a castle.
After winning the competition, she is proposed to by the Prince (played by Jack Antonoff ). In a subversive twist, she ghosts the prince , choosing to keep the castle and live independently with her dragons rather than get married. The Lyric Meaning: Reclaiming the Sparkle
