Bailey shouted out her fellow cast and crew mates who worked on the upcoming feature film, noting how proud she was to have worked alongside such professionals.

\"I cannot wait for time to speed up so you all can watch this film because it was made with so much love (plus blood sweat and tears),\" the Grammy-nominated singer expressed before shouting out the movie's filming location \"for a wonderful ending.\"

While \"The Little Mermaid\"'s release date has yet to be announced, the movie is scheduled for 2022.

Besides Bailey, the movie will also star Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, Awkwafina as Scuttle and Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric.
