• Nail the rhythmic precision in the opening; this song's groove depends on locked, confident rhythm playing rather than rubato
• Build intensity gradually through the verse into the chorus, resisting the urge to play everything at maximum volume from the start
• Let the melody breathe in the quieter moments; the contrast makes the anthemic chorus hit harder
• Pay attention to dynamic markings to capture the song's cinematic, uplifting arc

• Playing pop/rock rhythmic patterns with precision and consistency
• Balancing melody and accompaniment texture
