This song was when Annabeth shared with Percy some of her past history. The musical was more insightful than the movies. She shares her struggles and life with Percy, which sparks the start of their friendship. The director of the musical wanted to get the message across.
[ANNABETH, spoken]
You know the only gift my mom ever gave me? A hat that makes you invisible. You put it on and no one can see you. Seemed appropriate.
(sung)
I've always been a smart girl
Always made the grade, always got the gold star
I've always been a smart girl
But "smart girl" only gets a girl so far
You win at every single game
You want a quest they tell you, "Tough"
If you don't go, you'll never know
If you'll ever be good enough
My grand plan
Is that I will be remembered
My grand plan
Just you wait and see
You better wise up, 'cause I'll rise up
Bring on any challenge
And someday soon someone will notice me
I've always been a tough girl
Always been the one not to run from a fight
Always been a tough girl
'Cause most girls never win if they're polite
So me, I tend to stand my ground
I found I never can give in
It may not be my quest
But maybe it's mine to win
My grand plan
Is that I will be remembered
My grand plan
Just you wait and see
You better wise up, 'cause I'll rise up
Bring on any challenge
And someday soon the world will notice me
And your step-mom treats you like some freak
And your dad won't give you the time of day
And your mom won't trust you with a quest
So the best thing you can do is run away
Run away
But I have a plan
And I will be remembered
I will be great
Just wait and see
You better wise up, cause I'll rise up
Bring on any challenge
And someday soon, I swear
I don't know how or when
But I promise you
I'll never be invisible again
Someone will notice
Me
I've always been a smart girl

My favorite song in the show. It wasn’t working dramatically because unlike the rest of the songs, it was written before we had the Act 2 structure worked out. As a result, it originally felt too general. I believe it was Stephen Brackett, our savvy director, who turned it into a moment where Annabe...
