More stars have lined up to belt out their favorite Disney classics this Sunday for "The Disney Family Singalong: Volume II."

Katy Perry, John Legend, Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Hudson will all perform, and Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and the cast of "The Muppets" will open the show.

Plus, "Dancing With the Stars" pros Lindsay Arnold, Alan Bersten, Witney Carson, Val Chmerkovskiy, Jenna Johnson, Sasha Farber and Emma Slater will perform a remote ensemble routine with Keke Palmer to the "Hercules" song "Zero to Hero."

Palmer appeared on "Good Morning America" on Friday to tease her upcoming performance and said she chose the tune because the Muses in the animated film brought a vibe that was "soulful and had so much personality."

The 26-year-old also revealed she wanted to be Pocahontas growing up and why, in her opinion, people are drawn to Disney songs in general.

"Well, these Disney songs are a part of all our childhoods, I mean, they date back so far," Palmer explained. "I think immediately when you hear them, you go back to that very pure space of just enjoying and having fun and celebrating. That's a part of it but then also, right now, that's what we need. We need to feel togetherness, we need to feel unity."

The “Strahan, Sara and Keke” co-host shares why she chose the classic song from “Hercules” and why she thinks people are drawn to music right now.
