Story
The Core Four decide to have some fun and wreak chaos by spelling some apples to bring out the wicked side of the people of Auradon. They spread the apples throughout the school, causing all the students to fall under their spell, along with their AK adult friends: Fairy Godmother, Belle, and Beast. The VKs then lead a chaotic march around the campus, vandalizing and partying. With everyone gathered together, the VKs finish their number.

The camera zooms into Mal's eye and back out, revealing that the entire song was just in her head and that in reality, she is playing the part of royal girlfriend.

Trivia

 * This song was featured in two Descendants 2 trailers, 'Long Live Evil' and Teaser.
 * Mal's first solo line: "Crashing the party, guest they lost my invitation!", is an allusion to her mother Maleficent, who, in "Sleeping Beauty", was not invited to the baptism of little Aurora, thus starting the plot of the film.


 * The line "Mother always knows best" is an allusion to Mother Gothel from Tangled.
 * 99 apples were used to film the music number.
 * A Japanese version sung by Miracle Vell Magic was released as a bonus track on the Descendants 2 soundtrack in Japan, but never used in any movies.
