More about this title

About the Artist: Anthony Drewe

Anthony Drewe is a British lyricist and composer known for his work in musical theatre, particularly for family and children's audiences. His collaborations with composer George Stiles have produced numerous stage musicals that combine accessible melodies with clever, character-driven lyrics that appeal to both young performers and adult audiences.

Why we love this

Drewe's gift for writing lyrics that capture a character's voice without condescension makes this piece genuinely engaging for young singers. The optimistic spirit of the song carries real theatrical weight while remaining vocally manageable across a range of student abilities.

What to expect

This song radiates an infectious optimism paired with a subtle wink. The melody bounces with youthful energy while the lyrics suggest a character embracing possibility and change, creating a piece that feels both earnest and playfully theatrical.

Who it's for

This works beautifully for middle and high school singers tackling Disney or Broadway material in solo recitals, auditions, or concert showcases. It suits performers who bring personality and theatrical confidence to their singing and can handle the conversational, character-driven lyrics with nuance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Find the character's energy before the first note; this song thrives on personality and forward momentum rather than technical perfection.
  • Shape the lyrical phrases to emphasize Drewe's wordplay and comic timing, particularly in rapid-fire sections where diction must stay crystal clear.
  • Let the piano part anchor the emotional journey; follow its phrasing cues to build momentum through the verse and settle into the chorus.
  • Balance the optimism of the melody with genuine vulnerability in quieter moments to avoid sounding one-dimensional.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary musical theatre selections in a Broadway-focused concert or showcase, or feature it as a solo vehicle in a revue celebrating resilience and growth. The accessible key and moderate length make it ideal for an audition preparation class or a spring concert featuring student soloists.
