More about this title

Why we love this

Alan Billingsley has crafted three distinct SSA voicings that let you choose the right fit for your group's abilities and needs, from straightforward to more complex. The arrangement captures the infectious energy of the original without requiring your singers to tackle dense harmony, making this a genuine crowd-pleaser that still feels fresh in a concert setting.

What to expect

Bright, energetic, and unapologetically celebratory. The disco influences bring a retro sparkle to the pop foundation, creating an arrangement that feels both modern and playful. Your singers will feel the swagger of self-affirmation in every phrase.

Who it's for

Choirs ranging from middle school through community groups who want to program something contemporary and uplifting without overextending their singers. The flexible voicing options mean you can use this regardless of whether you have a full three-part SSA group or a mixed SSAA ensemble.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock in the rhythm section feel early in rehearsal. The disco-toned SoundTrax drives the groove, so your singers need to sit comfortably inside that pocket rather than rushing ahead of it.
  • Layer the voicings strategically across your ensemble. If you have limited upper voices, start with one of the simpler arrangements and save the more complex voicing for sections where you can double parts.
  • Emphasize the text delivery on the empowering lyrics. This song lives or dies on conviction and personality, not technical perfection.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary pop arrangements to anchor a themed concert around empowerment or current hits. Its high energy makes it an excellent second-half opener to reinvigorate an audience after something more introspective.

Skills your students will build

  • Rhythmic precision and groove awareness in a pop idiom
  • Balancing independent lines while maintaining harmonic blend in three-part writing
  • Stylistic interpretation of contemporary music and text expression
  • Flexibility across multiple SSA voicing options
