A video of a Ukrainian child's performance of "Let It Go" is captivating people across the globe.

In the video, a young girl is in what appears to be a dimly lit bomb shelter, quietly singing the opening lines to the "Frozen" song at the encouragement of someone off-camera.

As the others watch, she begins to sing more loudly, and then starts belting the chorus. She grins through her audience's rapturous applause.

The now-viral video has circulated online, where it caught the attention of "Frozen" star Idina Menzel, who voiced Elsa in the 2013 Disney movie.

"We see you. We really, really see you," Menzel tweeted in response to the video, which was reshared by journalist Ankita Jain.

Marta Smekhova, who first posted the video on Facebook on March 3, said that the little girl's name is Amelia and that she recorded the video with her mother's permission.

In the caption, she wrote that Amelia loved the sing and that the viral rendition of "Let It Go" was her first performance in front of other people.

In follow-up posts, Smekhova said that she was inundated with messages of support, and that she would pass them onto Amelia's mother.

Kristen Anderson-Lopez, who composed the song with her husband Robert Lopez, tweeted her support as well.

"Dear Little Girl with the beautiful voice, My husband and I wrote this song as part of a story about healing a family in pain. The way you sing it is like a magic trick that spreads the light in your heart and heals everyone who hears it," she wrote. "Keep singing! We are listening!"
