During the song “Where You Are”, while most of the village tries diligently to encourage Moana to stay on the island, Gramma Tala is the only one who actually listens to Moana’s desire to go out to sea. This track is a gentle instrumental reprise of Gramma Tala’s verse from the song.

After a disastrous attempt at heading out to sea on a boat that couldn’t handle rough water, Moana finds Gramma Tala on the beach and says that it’s time for her to put her stone on the mountain and finally accept her duties as chief. Gramma Tala tells her matter-of-factly to go and do it, which Moana finds confusing as Gramma Tala had supported her desire to go to sea previously. Gramma Tala goes into the water to dance with some rays and says that “that’s what you wanted”. She also states that when she dies she wants to come back as a ray.
Moana thinks Gramma Tala is “acting weird” to which she playfully responds “I’m the village crazy lady. That’s my job!” – a line which gives the track its title.
