Why we love this

Bryan Sharpe's arrangement captures the infectious rhythmic energy of the original while making it genuinely singable for a cappella voices. The divisi writing creates movement within the texture without overwhelming your singers, and the featured soloist moment gives your ensemble a chance to shine with the confidence this song demands.

What to expect

Funky and propulsive, with a light touch. The song's playful attitude comes through in the rhythmic precision and the call-and-response moments that make a cappella groups sound like a unified band rather than separate voice parts.

Who it's for

Pop a cappella groups looking for contemporary material with real personality and an arrangement that balances accessibility with musicality. This works equally well for competitive a cappella ensembles and high school choirs seeking repertoire that engages students in current musical language.

How to get the most out of it

Lock the groove in rehearsal by having the ensemble vocalize the rhythmic framework before adding pitched content. This song lives and dies by its pocket.
Highlight the soloist early and often. This arrangement needs a vocalist who can own the centerline with personality and attitude.
Shape the divisi sections for texture rather than volume. The harmonic layers should feel like they're supporting, not competing with, the lead vocal line.
Record yourselves regularly during rehearsal so singers can hear how their individual parts contribute to the collective groove.

How to use it

Use this as a concert opener or closer to guarantee audience engagement. It works beautifully in a set featuring pop and secular music, and pairs well with other contemporary a cappella arrangements that lean into groove and attitude. The 20-page score gives your ensemble plenty of material to work with without feeling oversized.
