Peaches
- This article is about the song. For the fruit, see Peach (fruit).
"Peaches" is a song featured in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, performed by Jack Black and included in the film's original soundtrack as track 17. It is a love ballad sung by Bowser, professing his love for Princess Peach. It is sung again during the credits, where a now-imprisoned Mini Bowser reflects on the events that led to his defeat while still desiring to win Peach's love.
Black co-wrote the song with directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, as well as Eric Osmond and Black's frequent collaborator John Spiker (who also produced).[1]
The song reached the top 100 on the iTunes Store upon the release of the soundtrack on April 7, 2023 for digital platforms.[2] "Peaches" debuted on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 list at number 83.[3]
Music videos
Two official music videos for the song were released: a live-action one starring Jack Black and an animated one.
Live-action music video
The officially sponsored live-action music video stars Jack Black in a Bowser-inspired outfit performing the song. It was uploaded onto the music channel Lyrical Lemonade and was directed by Cole Bennett.[4] The video has Jack Black in a peach-colored empty circular room, playing the song on a peach-tinted piano that holds a bowl of peaches and a framed photo of the film's rendition of Princess Peach. The room has various circular open windows which give glimpses of the Mushroom Kingdom outside.
Animated music video
The official animated music video is a compilation of film scenes that pertain to either Princess Peach or Bowser. It was uploaded on the film's social media accounts and Illumination's YouTube channel on April 10, 2023.[5] The majority of the video is the scene from the film that features Bowser singing the song, playing on his piano on a floating island with a space backdrop. The video ends with the scene where Bowser practices proposing to Princess Peach with a bouquet of Piranha Plants.
