I like the title too much to be unbiased. Can someone tell me if it works?

Alice has been going through the story, and has already gotten her I Am Song, maybe even an I Want Song. But something happened, and Alice isn't the same person anymore. So she gets a new I Am Song: It shows who Alice is now, how she has changed, and how she is changing.

May double as a I Want Song or a Villain Song, especially if That Man Is Dead. See also I Am Song, Coming Of Age Story, Character Development.

Note: This is Character Development summary in song: spoilers may ensue.

Examples:

Theater

• In Wicked, after Elphaba finds out that what she assumed was the ultimate force for good-the Wizard-isn't, she knows she has to help the Animals without him. 'Defying Gravity' echoes her I Want Song, The Wizard And I, now with her asking for Glinda's partnership instead of the Wizard's.
• What Have I Done from Les Miserables is Valjean rejecting his life as a criminal in favor of religion and redemption.
• "I'm Gonna Be a Producer" from The Producers is an Am, Want, and Becoming song all in one.

Web Original

• ~Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog~: Where to begin? The musical could be described as Dr. Horrible's Start Of Darkness. Some specifics:
  • 'My Eyes': Penny, the girl Billy has been trying to achieve a verbal connection with for...a while, is going out with Captain Hammer. This pushes him towards Dr. Horrible.
  • 'Brand New Day': Yes, Captain Hammer is dating Penny specifically to spite Billy. Murderous rage and planning ensue.
