The song received generally positive reviews from music and film critics.
In addition, a pop version by Phil Collins which appears in the credits also features on the soundtrack. The song also appears in a reprise mid-way through, as at the finale when Tarzan and Jane bid farewell to Jane's father to stay in the jungle. It shows the two families Tarzan will call his own: his human family that birthed him and the family of gorillas that raise him. The main version of the song appears in the film's opening, as musical accompaniment to a montage involving a leopard killing Tarzan's parents and him being washed upon the shore.
PHIL COLLINS TWO WORLDS MOVIE
The song plays as the opening song to the movie immediately after the title credits, and is used multiple times throughout the film to reinforce the notion of Tarzan being torn between two worlds. In the Disney Interactive video game Tarzan Activity Center, an activity entitled "Tarzan's Sing and Swing" gave players the ability to either listen to three Tarzan songs, among them "Two Worlds", or sing along to a karaoke version of them. The song appeared on the German Singles Charts for five weeks, peaking at number 43 in October 2000. A CD single was released in Japan on August 25, 1999, and in Germany on September 18, 2000. In addition to the song's inclusion on the film soundtrack, it was also released as a single. Phil Collins recorded the song in English ( Two Worlds), Spanish ( Dos Mundos), Italian ( Se vuoi), French ( Entre deux mondes), and German ( Zwei Welten). The song is a key example of how musical continuity is present across the soundtrack, with "Two Worlds" woven into the musical tapestry of the film multiple times. Manchina emphasised the need for cohesiveness in the score, so "the songs didn't sound like they were recorded two years before and just dropped in".
After writing the piece, he collaborated with score composer Mark Manchina to ensure the musical motifs carried throughout the movie. "Two Worlds" was the first song that Phil Collins wrote for the film.
