"Telling the World" is the theme song of Rio, and the seventh song featured in the soundtrack of the movie.

The song is presented during Rio's ending credits and represents Blu's point of view, as the song describes him finding the girl of his dreams.

"Telling the World" was performed and produced by Taio Cruz, while being co-written by Alan Kasirye [1] [2], and is featured in two of his albums: "Rokstarr" (released as a Single on October 12th 2009) and "TY.O" (the final version of the song used in Rio; released on December 2nd 2011).

Two music videos were produced: one short video depicting Taio singing in a studio with several characters from Rio (with a marmoset briefly halting the music, and extra dialogue from Pedro), and the complete song with Taio Cruz on a beach, in a city, and on a bridge, and both have clips from the film itself. The shorter one has audio from the film with the clips, while the longer one has the clips muted.

Hmm...

Oh, oh, oh...

Hmm...

Every part in my heart I'm giving out
Every song on my lips I'm singing out
Any fear in my soul I'm letting go
And anyone who asks I'll let 'em know

She's the one, she's the one, I say it loud
She's the one, she's the one, I say it proud
Ring a bell, ring a bell for the whole crowd
Ring a bell, ring a bell

I'm telling the world...
That I've found the girl...
The one I can live for...
The one who deserves...

Every part in my heart I'm giving out
Every song on my lips I'm singing out
Any fear in my soul I'm letting go
And anyone who asks I'll let 'em know

She's the one, she's the one, I say it loud
She's the one, she's the one, I say it proud
Ring a bell, ring a bell for the whole crowd
Ring a bell, ring a bell

I'm telling the world...
That I've found the girl...
The one I can live for...
The one who deserves...
To give all the light...
A reason to fly...
The one I can live for...
A reason for life...

Oh eh oh, oh eh oh, oh, yeah, yeah...
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh, oh, yeah, yeah...
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh, oh, yeah, yeah...
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh, oh

I'm telling the world...
That I've found the girl...
The one I can live for...
The one who deserves...
To give all the light...
A reason to fly...
The one I can live for...
A reason for life...

Oh eh oh, oh eh oh, oh, yeah, yeah...
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh, oh, yeah, yeah...
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh, oh, yeah, yeah...
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh, oh, yeah, yeah...
