"Brave" is the second single from Idina Menzel's third studio album I Stand. The song was written by Menzel and Glen Ballard and was released on November 6, 2007. It reached the Top 20 on the Adult Contemporary chart peaking at #19 on March 29, 2008.
A music video was made in which Menzel plays a piano alone in a room. As she leaves, her dress is seen tied to the piano. She proceeds to walk through streets slowly unwrapping the dress she is wearing. The video ends with Menzel standing on top of a building taking the rest of the dress off and revealing a red top and jeans underneath.
The song was used in the second-season finale of the MTV show The Hills, playing during the climatic "moving out" scene between former best friends Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag. It was also used in the series 7 finale of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps.
