Lyrics	Ed Goldfarb
Composer	Ed Goldfarb

Under The Alolan Sun is the opening theme song for the English dub of the twentieth season, Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. It was used from Alola to New Adventure! to When Regions Collide!. The opening animation is composed of clips from the first Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon Japanese opening, Alola!!, and The Guardian's Challenge!, while the ending animation is composed of clips from the first Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon Japanese ending, Pose.

Lyrics

I could get used to this heat on my skin
I can feel every day, I'm a little bit stronger
I only wish each day was longer

Yeah! We're having fun in the sun (the Alolan sun)
Week after week
It's just like we're on vacation

Yeah! Now our journey's begun,
Friends 'til the end
Number one's our destination

Under the Alolan sun
Pokémon!

Opening animation spoilers

Ending variants

SM001 - SM008: The original animation. Lillie holds nothing in her arms.
SM009 - SM012: Lillie holds the Egg in her arms.
SM013 - SM017: Lillie holds Snowy in her arms.
SM018 - SM036: Mallow's Bounsweet is now shown as a Steenee.

Trivia

An instrumental version of this song was used in That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!, Partner Promises!, Alolan Open House!, Big Sky, Small Fry!, The Young Flame Strikes Back!, and Drawn with the Wind!.
The credits for the song mistakenly spell "Vestigial Horns" as "Vestigal Horns". It was fixed prior to when Loading the Dex! debuted on CITV in the United Kingdom, and before That's Why the Litten is a Scamp! debuted in Canada and the United States.
This is the first time since Pokémon: Advanced Battle that the closing credits have featured animation rather than text juxtaposed against a black screen. This is also the first time that the closing credits have their own unique animation, rather than using a shortened version of the opening sequence.
On Netflix, only the first ending variant is used.

Errors

The error

A frame from Alola to New Adventure! is shown during the first frame of the fade-between to the group shot of Lillie, Mallow, and Lana.
