"So This is Love" is a romantic ballad featured in Cinderella. The song is performed by the offscreen vocals of Cinderella (Ilene Woods) and Prince Charming (Mike Douglas) as they dance throughout the castle during the ball. During the song, the two gradually fall in love with each other, though Cinderella never realizes with whom she is actually dancing. The song comes to an end when the clock strikes twelve, forcing Cinderella to return home before the Fairy Godmother's magic dissipates.

The next day, Cinderella learns that the man with whom she danced was, in fact, the Prince, and that whoever's foot fits the glass slipper she left behind at the ball will become his bride. In response, she absent-mindedly hums the song to herself as she heads up to her room to prepare herself for the Grand Duke's arrival with the glass slipper. Unfortunately, this causes Lady Tremaine to recognize her as the mystery girl who danced with the Prince, leading her to trap her in her room in one final ditch attempt to crush her hopes.

In 1949, Woods recorded a solo version to promote the film for its impending release the following year. It is similar in structure with the main difference being that last half of the song is repeated following a brief instrumental bridge.

Cinderella:
Mmmmmm, mmmmmm
So this is love, mmmmmm
So this is love
So this is what makes life divine
I'm all aglow, mmmmmm
And now I know

Prince Charming:
And now I know

Cinderella and Prince Charming:
The key to all heaven is mine

Cinderella:
My heart has wings, mmmmmm
and I can fly

Cinderella and Prince Charming:
I'll touch every star in the sky
So this is the miracle that I've been dreaming of

Cinderella: Mmmmmm
Prince Charming: Mmmmmm
Cinderella and Prince Charming: So this is love

Uhh-ah-ooooo...
