Maybe this explains why she's a redhead now!

Carly Rae Jepsen is slated to cover an iconic tune from none other than Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' for the classic cartoon's upcoming Diamond Edition re-release.

Disney Dreaming reports that the one-time 'Canadian Idol' runner up will cover 'Part of Your World,' the film's signature ballad, for the October 1, 2013 release. The track was written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman and was first recorded by Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel in the film.

Jepsen's dropped hints about the project on Instagram, with pics like this:

Further details are scant, but we bet fans of the preternaturally youthful songstress will eat this tune up!
