More about this title
About the Composer: Katy Perry
Katy Perry emerged as a pop powerhouse in the late 2000s, crafting infectious anthems that dominated radio and streaming platforms. Her songwriting collaborations with producers like Mikkel Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen have yielded some of the era's most recognizable pop hooks, making her work a natural fit for contemporary choral arrangements.
Why we love this
This arrangement captures the infectious energy of a genuine chart-topper without sacrificing choir-friendly voice leading. Your singers will connect instantly with material they already know, and the recorded accompaniment gives you flexibility to rehearse by section or perform with full backing support.
What to expect
Celebratory and propulsive, with that unmistakable pop shine that makes singers want to perform it again and again. The piece builds from controlled excitement into a full-throttle finale that leaves audiences smiling.
Who it's for
High school and adult choirs looking for contemporary material that energizes singers and audiences alike. Directors programming year-end concerts or pops festivals will find a piece that feels current without requiring specialized knowledge of popular music trends.
How to get the most out of it
- Lean into the rhythmic precision that makes pop groove. Lock the rhythm section (alto and tenor) early so sopranos and basses can sit confidently on top of a solid foundation.
- Use dynamics as your storytelling tool. The verses need restraint to build tension toward the explosive chorus and final payoff.
- Balance brightness in the upper voices without letting tenors get buried. This chart needs clarity across all four parts for maximum impact.
- Work the recorded accompaniment into rehearsals strategically. Use it for musical context first, then pull it away for sectionals to build choir independence.
How to use it
Anchor an opening set or close a first act with this. The piece pairs well with other contemporary pop arrangements and works brilliantly as a concert finale where you want energy and recognition, especially for year-end shows.
Skills your students will build
