More about this title

About the Composer: Shay Mooney

Shay Mooney is one half of Dan + Shay, the country duo that helped reshape modern country music by blending it seamlessly with pop sensibilities. As a songwriter and performer, Mooney has co-written and performed some of the biggest hits of the past decade, including multiple Grammy Award-winning songs that consistently top both country and pop charts.

Mooney's approach to songwriting emphasizes melody and emotional directness, qualities that translate beautifully into instrumental arrangements for young musicians. His collaborations across genre lines demonstrate a gift for crafting songs with broad appeal and accessibility, making his work ideal for engaging student musicians and diverse audiences.

Why we love this

Victor López's adaptation captures the earworm quality of the original without oversimplifying it. At grade 2.5, the arrangement respects your students' growing technical abilities while keeping the focus on the song's infectious melodic content and contemporary appeal. This is the kind of title that builds genuine enthusiasm in the rehearsal room and translates immediately to positive audience response.

What to expect

Warm and accessible, with a modern pop-country groove that feels effortless rather than forced. The arrangement breathes in all the right places, creating space for the melody to land and inviting your ensemble to play with genuine musicality rather than technical posturing.

Who it's for

Young bands with solid fundamentals who are ready for contemporary repertoire that actually excites them. Directors seeking repertoire that connects with students' musical lives outside the concert hall will find a real ally here.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the melody across sections so it sings above the rhythmic accompaniment; avoid letting the supporting parts drift into dominance during ensemble passages.
  • Lean into the laid-back feel of the original recording rather than pushing for precision that fights the song's natural swagger.
  • Let the recorded accompaniment guide your tempo and groove; this arrangement is built to sit comfortably with the track rather than compete with it.
  • Pay attention to dynamic shaping in the verse sections, where restraint makes the final chorus hit much harder.

How to use it

Slot this into a spring or fall concert where you want to draw families and community members who might not typically attend band concerts. The familiarity of the song and its emotional resonance make it an excellent anchor for a program that also includes traditional concert band fare.

Skills your students will build

  • Maintaining groove and steady tempo in contemporary pop-rock contexts
  • Balancing melody against rhythmic accompaniment
  • Playing with stylistic authenticity across different musical genres
  • Dynamic control and phrasing in accessible, singable lines
