More about this title
About the Artist: Steve Robson
Steve Robson is a Nashville-based songwriter and producer whose work spans pop, country, and musical theatre. His gift for crafting infectious melodies and polished arrangements has made him a sought-after collaborator for artists across multiple genres, with credits on numerous chart-driven records.
Why we love this
Roger Emerson's arrangement captures everything that makes this song irresistible: the infectious pop groove sits perfectly for choir voices, while the instrumentation stays clean enough that your singers stay front and center. The built-in choreography potential means your singers can move with genuine purpose rather than feeling tacked-on, and that makes rehearsals more engaging from day one.
What to expect
Bright and propulsive, with that modern pop sheen that feels current without dating itself quickly. Your singers will respond to the groove immediately—there's genuine fun built into every measure, and the energy builds naturally rather than relying on shouty dynamics.
Who it's for
Any choir, pop group, or show ensemble that wants contemporary material with immediate audience appeal. The arrangement works across age groups and mixed voice combinations, making it equally at home in a high school show choir or a community theater production.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the groove early by establishing the rhythmic pocket with your rhythm section before layering in the vocal parts. A tight foundation keeps the energy from feeling sluggish.
- Balance the part writing so your singers feel the joy of the countermelody lines rather than fighting to stay on their own notes. Olly Murs' original thrives on rhythmic precision, not vocal strain.
- Plan your choreography during early rehearsals so your singers understand the movement before you layer in the full arrangement. This prevents the blocking from feeling like an afterthought.
How to use it
This lands beautifully as the closer to a spring concert or holiday show where you want your audience leaving the theater with a smile. Pair it alongside other contemporary pop arrangements for a full second half that showcases your ensemble's range and versatility.
