More about this title

About the Artist: Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Rodrigo emerged as a defining voice of her generation with her 2021 debut album SOUR, which showcased a remarkable ability to translate raw emotional experience into universally resonant pop songwriting. Her lyrics balance specificity with accessibility, making her work particularly effective for choral arrangement; the emotional clarity that drives her songs translates directly to ensemble performance.

Why we love this

Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the song's devastating emotional directness while giving three-part mixed choirs a genuinely singable, dramatically effective vehicle. The writing respects both the melody's iconic shape and the vulnerability that makes this song so powerful when performed live. Your singers will connect immediately with material that feels contemporary and personally meaningful.

What to expect

Intimate and confessional, with moments of controlled intensity. The harmonic setting emphasizes the emotional weight of the lyrics while the three-part texture keeps the sound clean and modern rather than lush, creating space for individual voices to be heard.

Who it's for

Any mixed choir looking to expand beyond traditional repertoire into contemporary pop material that still demands real musical literacy. This works equally well for high school choirs seeking approachable arrangements of current hits and adult ensembles wanting to connect with younger audiences.

How to get the most out of it

  • Maintain conversational phrasing throughout; resist the urge to oversing. The strength of this song lives in restraint and honesty, not volume.
  • Balance the three parts carefully in the verses where one voice carries the primary melody. Let the supporting voices sit back enough that the harmonic foundation supports rather than competes.
  • Take time in early rehearsals to discuss the emotional context. Singers who understand the song's narrative will make more intentional choices about dynamics and tone color.

How to use it

Program this as a standalone contemporary piece in a concert featuring varied styles, or pair it with other current pop arrangements to create a cohesive set. The eight-page length makes it ideal for a spring or end-of-year program where you're balancing shorter, impactful works alongside longer traditional selections.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing contemporary pop idioms with musicality and control
  • Balancing melody and harmony in three-part mixed voicing
  • Interpreting emotionally complex material through vocal expression
  • Reading modern pop notation and phrasing conventions
