Originally recorded for the film by English actor Dan Stevens, who performs the song in his starring role as the titular Beast, "Evermore" was first released as a single by American singer Josh Groban on March 3, 2017 . Stevens' version was made available on March 10, 2017 when the film's soundtrack was released online, while Groban's single is played in closing credits . </P> <P> In the animated film, the Beast barely sings because Menken and original Beauty and the Beast lyricist Howard Ashman had not been able to determine a moment within the film during which it would have been suitable for the character to perform his own song . Initially, Menken had especially wanted the Beast to perform "If I Can't Love Her", a song he and Rice had written for the character to sing in stage adaptation of the animated film, in the remake, but ultimately decided that an entirely new song that establishes that the Beast has finally learned how to love would be more appropriate due to the film's three - act structure . Musically, "Evermore" bears a resemblance to songs from the stage musicals Les Misérables (1980) and The Phantom of the Opera (1986), as well as some of Menken's own earlier compositions, specifically selections from Disney's animated film The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996). </P>

Who sang evermore in beauty and the beast
