Life Is Sweeter, also titled as Life Is Sweeter (When You Are) is the sixth song on the Descendants: The Rise of Red soundtrack. It is sung by various cast members as their respective characters.
When Red questions Bridget on why she is so nice, Bridget mentions how being positive to people can be for the best even if someone were to meet someone mean.
Lyrics[]
Bridget: It's really not a secret recipe
A little butter, flour, sugar, and a lot of positivity
Honestly, it always works for me
That's why I got enough to go around for everyone I see
Sometimes, I make mistakes
And sometimes, I burn the cake
But I still believe that all will be okay
All: 'Cause the sun shines a little more brightly
When you take things a little more lightly
It's all gonna turn out nicely
With just a little taste of your heart
It's likely
You'll fall into something spicy
Just mix it up, you'll keep finding
That life is sweeter when you are
Bridget: (Hey Fay)
Fay: Guess, I'm here for a spell
Even though it never really works out well for me
One wave of my wand and it's, "Whoopsie!"
Bridget: (It's Jasmine and Aladdin!)
Aladdin and Jasmine: Call us Jaladdin,
Jasmine: He's like a magnet,
Aladdin: She's so attractive,
Aladdin and Jasmine: It's all fantastic
'Cause we're flying high together on a magic carpet ride
Bridget: (Charming)
Prince Charming: That's just a name people know me by
Crowned prince isn't the way I ride
If you wanna rule together, it could be your vibe
Red: (Okay)
Chloe: (That's my dad)
Red: (Oh)
All: The sun shines a little more brightly
When you take things a little more lightly
It's all gonna turn out nicely
With just a little taste of your heart
It's likely
You'll fall into something spicy
Just mix it up, you'll keep finding
That life is sweeter when you are
Hook: Look for a hand find a golden hook
Captain of the seas, I got 'em all shook
Morgie: Son of Morgana, serpentine
Morgie's the name, better run and hide
Hades: Hades here from the fiery depths
Maleficent: Sharp as a thorn, I'm Maleficent
Morgie: Now for the hottest , the goddess of darkness
Here she comes,
Hook and Morgie: Uliana
Uliana: I'm not your everyday villain (Grah)
I'm taking souls for a living
Got a torturous mind full of evil designs
I could grind up your bones in a minute
Down the darkest steps of the sea
The scariest things are scared of me
Say, "Uliana," and I'll watch them flee
Bridget: (She's Ursula's baby sister)
Chloe and Red: (Okay)
All: The sun shines a little more brightly
The dark side's a little enticing
It's all gonna turn out nicely
With just a taste of your heart
It's likely
We'll make it all much more frightening
Just mix it up, you'll keep finding
That life is sweeter when you are
Seeing things brightly
When you take things a little more lightly
Just mix it up, you'll keep finding
That life is sweeter when you are

Despite being a character who has appeared in all four Descendants films, this is the only song in which the Fairy Godmother actually sings whereas she only danced in "Ways to be Wicked".
It is one of two songs to be included in the D23 Expo performance, the other being "Red".
When Meadow was still known as Zellie, she was supposed to have a part in the song, but it got cut out because they ran out of real estate.
Tiana was also going to have a part in early concepts, but this got discarded quite early for unknown reasons and was swapped with the Jaladdin scene.
Aladdin was originally gonna appear on his magic carpet in the song.
