♥ 歌曲介紹 Background and Cause ♥
In the late 19th century, P. T. Barnum and his troupe perform a show at the circus ("The Greatest Show"). In a flashback to Barnum's childhood where he and his father Philo, a tailor, work for the Hallett family, he becomes infatuated with their daughter, Charity. Charity explains that her father is sending her to finishing school, and she does not know what her future will be, but Barnum explains that he expects great things from his future, and reassures her that they will not be separated. The two keep in touch through letters until they meet again in adulthood, eventually marrying and raising two daughters, Caroline and Helen, in New York City. They live a humble life; though Charity is happy, Barnum craves more.
《大娛樂家》是一部於2017年上映的美國傳記歌舞戲劇電影，靈感由美國傳奇馬戲團大亨費尼爾司·泰勒·巴納姆創辦玲玲馬戲團的真人真事改編。巴納姆正帶領著他的馬戲團進行「最偉大的表演」，於無盡的掌聲裡，他回想到他的童年時代，其父親是一名替紐約富裕的哈雷特家族工作的裁縫，他因此機緣與哈雷特家千金夏麗蒂相遇並互相吸引。不久，巴納姆因父親驟逝而成為在街頭掙扎求生的孤兒，夏麗蒂則被送到外地的寄宿學校，但他們透過書信保持聯繫，直到他們成年後再度相聚。兩人互許終生成立家庭，之後育有兩個女兒卡洛琳和海倫。他們一家過著拮据的生活，儘管夏麗蒂感到非常滿足，但巴納姆渴求帶給妻女更多。
♥ 歌曲賞析 Composition ♥
This rousing song of self-acceptance was written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul for the P.T. Barnum musical biopic The Greatest Showman. Pasek and Paul's resume also includes the music for the Oscar-winning film La La Land as well as the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen.
"This Is Me" is a fight song for people who are not accepted by society. It is sung by Lettie Lutz after she and the rest of the circus troupe are barred by Barnum from an after party following Jenny Lind's performance. The bearded lady refuses to be cut down by the fact that the showman is embarrassed by them.
"It was really inspired by the group of oddities in the film, and what they came to represent and what [director] Michael Gracey talked about them representing," Pasek told Billboard. "People who had lived in the shadows their whole lives and for the first time wanted to feel love and acceptance, and even when P.T. Barnum turns his back on them, they make a statement - not only to him, but to themselves - that they declare to love themselves for the first time.

I'm not a stranger to the dark
