Background and composition
On February 23, 2026, Martinez first teased "Disney Princess" by revealing that it would be released on February 25 (7pm ET), revealing part of the song's lyric: "I've signed the dotted line and I've fucked every devil". The track is the second single from her fourth studio album, Hades (2026).
According to Christopher Gona of V13, "Disney Princess" critiques society's commodification of women and presents the idea of "selling [one's] soul" as something "far more insidious". Stereoboards Jon Stickler noted that following the single "Possession", the track continues in a darker vein, describing it as a satirical alt-pop track that critiques the commodification of women in society.
Critical reception Eric Alper from That Eric Alper described "Disney Princess" as a "sardonic" and "commanding" track. Writing for Euphoria, Nmesoma Okechukwu noted that the song quickly became a fan favorite and was praised for prompting discussions about issues affecting women that are often overlooked. Although no accompanying music video had been released at the time of the review, she speculated that a visual treatment could prove "mind-blowing".
