He asked Zimmer if any sort of musical version of the song could still be a part of the film Favreau subsequently asked Tim Rice if he could update the song's lyrics to reflect Scar's new dynamic with the hyenas. Favreau considered outright cutting the song and had screenwriter Jeff Nathanson create a spoken word monologue to replace the song, but was unsatisfied since he knew how important a villain song is to a Disney film.
Favreau felt that the original sequence, which he compared to the Night on Bald Mountain segment of Fantasia, would clash too heavily with the remake's tone and characterization of Scar. Of the five songs of the original, the fate of "Be Prepared" was the one which was most debated when creating the film's soundtrack. The score and the songs in the remake were influenced by the music featured in the Broadway version of The Lion King, as Favreau felt that " really further what the roots of the music are ".

The following day, it was reported that Beyoncé would assist John in the soundtrack's re-work. On November 28, 2017, it was reported that Elton John had signed onto the project to rework his musical compositions from the original film before retiring. However, he also had a different approach on the score than in the original film, trying to "rehearse and record the score like a live concert performance". working musicians to the bone because wants to get that performance. Zimmer treated his work on the remake similar to his work on the original film, stating that " doing this strictly for the people for whom it means something. Zimmer initially hesitated to return for the remake, arguing that " worked very hard to not ruin things through improvement", however, he agreed to compose the remake after performing the original film's score in a concert, saying that he "suddenly realized what place in this new version was: to try a big experiment and use my band and orchestra, go back to Africa, work with Lebo and the chorus and extraordinary musicians from all over the world, and really make this a performance". On November 1, 2017, it was announced that the original film's composer, Hans Zimmer, who composed additional music for Favreau's Iron Man, would return to score the film. On September 28, 2016, it was announced that Jon Favreau would direct a remake of Disney's The Lion King, which was announced to feature songs from the original film by Elton John and Tim Rice.
