"Ways to Be Wicked" is the opening song from the Disney Channel original movie, Descendants 2, sung by Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos in Mal's imagination.
Synopsis[]
Becoming stressed by a press conference, Mal retreats into her mind. She imagines that she and her friends have grown tired with how dull life in Auradon had become and decide to spice things up. Using her spell book, Mal curses apples they hand out to everyone to make them wild and impulsive, effectively wicked. The VKs lead the spelled populace of Auradon Prep in a song and dance number, as they tear up the classrooms and deface property with spray-paint.
Lyrics[]
Mal, Evie, Jay, & Carlos: Ahhhhh...
We got all the ways to be
W-I-C-K-E-D
We got all the ways to be
W-I-C-K-E-D
Come on!
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Mal: Crashing the party
Guess they lost my invitation
Friendly reminder
Got my own kind of persuasion
Carlos Looks like this place could use
A bit of misbehavior
Happily ever after
With a little flavor
Jay: We're bad to the bone
With even worse intentions
We're gonna steal the show
And leave 'em all defenseless
Evie: A fairy tale life can be
Oh-so overrated
So raise your voices and
Let's get it activated
Mal, Evie, Jay, & Carlos: Long live havin' some fun
We take what we want
There's so many ways to be wicked
With us, evil lives on the right side of wrong
There's so many ways to be wicked
Apple, apple
Dip, dip
Wanna try it?
Tick, tick
Take a bite
Come on, be bold
Change the way the story's told
Mal: This time the dark is
Finally getting your attention
Evie: We're wicked by the book
And class is back in session
Jay: You like it, steal it
Gotta beat 'em to the treasure
Carlos: A rite of passage
Mal, Evie, Jay, & Carlos: Bad just doesn't get much better
Long live havin' some fun
We take what we want
There's so many ways to be wicked
With us, evil lives on the right side of wrong
There's so many ways to be wicked
Mal: Mother always knows best
Evie: Show her, pass every test
Carlos: Hear her voice in my head
Jay: Evil is the only
Mal, Evie, Jay, & Carlos: Real way to win
We got all the ways to be
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
W-I-C-K-E-D
Jay: Let's go!
Mal, Evie, Jay, & Carlos: We got all the ways to be
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
W-I-C-K-E-D
Mal: Yeah!
Mal, Evie, Jay, & Carlos: Long live havin' some fun
We take what we want
There's so many ways to be wicked
With us, evil lives on the right side of wrong
There's so many ways to be wicked
Cruel and unusual
We're taking control
There's so many ways to be wicked
With us, evil lives on the right side of wrong
There's so many ways to be wicked
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
We got all the ways to be
W-I-C-K-E-D
We got all the ways to be
W-I-C-K-E-D
We got all the ways to be
W-I-C-K-E-D
We got all the ways to be
Mal: So many ways to be wicked
Trivia[]
- This imagined song was likely Mal's way of coping with the stress of being royally perfect.
- Noticeably some of the kids who get spelled add leather/biker jackets and accessories to their outfits, reflecting their new wicked nature.
- The VKs are mostly back to their original appearance in this number. There are only a few differences:
- Mal's jacket has short sleeves and she's wearing green pants instead of purple.
- Evie is not wearing the same blue jacket from Rotten to the Core.
- Carlos has his hair smoothed out, which is almost how it's actually styled outside the daydream.
- A parody of the song titled "Way We Feel Anxious" was part of the Broken Karaoke shorts sung by Candace Flynn, Libby Stein-Torres, Gloria Sato and Marcy Wu.
