More about this title

About the Artist: Max Martin

Max Martin stands as one of the most prolific hit songwriters of the 21st century, with a production and songwriting track record that spans multiple genres and generations of artists. His work across pop, R&B, and dance music has shaped the sound of contemporary radio, and his ability to craft hooks that lodge themselves in listeners' minds has made him indispensable to major label releases.

For music educators, Martin's output represents a masterclass in commercial song structure and vocal arrangement. His songs reward singers who understand the interplay between melody, rhythm, and production elements, and they offer directors a window into what makes modern pop accessible and engaging to young performers.

Why we love this

Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the propulsive energy that made this a chart juggernaut without asking your singers to compete with synths and beats they can't match. The result is a chart that lets your choir own the song through strong vocal writing while keeping the contemporary production values your students recognize.

What to expect

Electric and purposeful. The track pulses with modern production sensibility, electropop textures creating momentum beneath vocals that soar with conviction. It's the sound of breaking through constraints and moving forward with determination.

Who it's for

Pop and show choirs looking for contemporary material that combines immediate recognizability with genuine musical craft. Directors serving student singers who want to perform songs they actually listen to, without sacrificing vocal development or ensemble precision.

How to get the most out of it

  • Establish the groove in early rehearsals by having your rhythm section lock in before adding vocals. The insistent beat is the foundation everything else builds on.
  • Balance the power of the ensemble with moments where soloists can push forward. This arrangement likely contains dynamic shifts that reward singers willing to take ownership of their lines.
  • Shape the lyrics with intention, especially in the hook. Clarity on the message strengthens the emotional impact and helps your singers connect to why they're performing this song.

How to use it

Anchor a pop or contemporary set with this as your opener or closer. Its immediate familiarity and energetic profile make it ideal for engaging audiences, while Brymer's arrangement ensures your singers stay musically engaged throughout. It pairs well on concert programs alongside other current pop selections or as a bridge piece between traditional and contemporary repertoire.

Skills your students will build

  • Navigating contemporary pop rhythms and syncopation
  • Sustaining energy and intensity across a full arrangement
  • Balancing ensemble unity with individual vocal expression
