More about this title

About the Artist: Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa emerged as one of the defining pop voices of the 2010s with her genre-blending approach to dance and pop production. Her songwriting balances introspective lyrics with infectious rhythmic grooves, creating music that resonates across mainstream and alternative audiences alike.

For choral arrangers and educators, Lipa's catalog presents accessible yet substantive material. Her melodies sit naturally in the voice, and her songs contain the kind of emotional directness that engages student performers and audiences equally.

Why we love this

Frank de Vreeze has crafted an arrangement that captures the song's propulsive energy while keeping the parts singable and the texture clean. SAB voicing here feels modern without requiring excessive technical gymnastics, making it genuinely playable for mixed choirs that need contemporary material with real substance.

What to expect

Modern, driven, and optimistic. The piece carries forward motion and rhythmic momentum while maintaining vocal warmth; it captures the confidence of the original without sacrificing the humanity in the performance.

Who it's for

Directors programming contemporary pop for mixed choirs will find a stable, well-crafted arrangement here. This works for treble-range ensembles seeking substantive pop repertoire that students actually want to sing.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock into the rhythmic pocket early in rehearsals. This arrangement thrives on precision with syncopation and forward motion, so establishing a solid groove foundation pays dividends across all three parts.
  • Shape phrase arcs deliberately rather than letting the text carry everything. The melody is memorable, but dynamic control and legit phrase breathing prevent the piece from feeling static across its 13 pages.
  • Balance the sopranos and altos carefully during unison sections. Mixed voicing creates natural blend opportunities, but intentional tuning and relative dynamics keep the arrangement sounding cohesive rather than scattered.

How to use it

Build a concert set around this as an anchor for contemporary repertoire. Its 13 pages and SAB voicing make it substantial enough to warrant its own programmatic space, whether you pair it with other pop arrangements, indie covers, or even modern art songs exploring similar themes of determination and resilience.

Skills your students will build

  • Rhythmic independence within contemporary pop idioms
  • Sustaining pitch and tone through syncopated passages
  • Reading and performing modern articulation and phrasing marks
  • Blending SAB voicing with consistent tuning in mixed ensembles
  • Interpreting style and groove while maintaining vocal technique
