More about this title

About the Composer: Oscar Thomas Holter

Oscar Thomas Holter is a composer and arranger whose work bridges contemporary pop songwriting and choral craft. His arrangements for the Alfred Pop Choral Series have brought modern hits to ensembles of all levels, demonstrating a keen ear for what makes a song resonate both on the radio and in the rehearsal room.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the infectious energy of the original without losing the emotional core of the song. The optional solos give you flexibility whether you're working with confident singers or prefer a full ensemble sound, and that stadium choral finale practically directs itself.

What to expect

Bright, propulsive, and emotionally open. The steady rock groove creates forward motion while the harmonic writing around the hook feels warm and inviting, capturing that vulnerable moment of letting someone in.

Who it's for

Any choir ready to sing contemporary music with polish and confidence. The arrangement works equally well for high school ensembles, college groups, and community choirs looking to program something that connects with modern audiences.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock into the steady rock groove early in rehearsals. The groove is the song's backbone; once your singers feel it in their bodies, the lyrics will sit on top naturally.
  • Balance the optional solo sections carefully against the recorded accompaniment. These moments need to breathe and shine, so pull back the backing track volume if the solo feels buried.
  • The shimmering quality of the production comes from clean vowel unification across all four parts. Spend time on sustained passages to ensure blend, especially where the harmony thickens.
  • Build momentum gradually toward the choral outro. This is your payoff moment; layer in dynamics and energy through the final section to hit that stadium-sized feeling.

How to use it

Pair this with other pop hits from the Alfred series to create a contemporary set that feels cohesive rather than scattered, or use it as the closing number on a concert where you want to send the audience out energized. The recorded accompaniment also makes it ideal for a pop showcase or pops concert where rehearsal time is limited.

Skills your students will build

  • Maintaining rhythmic precision in a rock-based groove
  • Balancing solo lines against ensemble texture
  • Crafting clean vowel unification in contemporary harmony
  • Building and sustaining dynamics across a longer form
  • Performing with confidence in a modern, radio-ready style
