More about this title

About the Composer: Bonnie McKee

Bonnie McKee is a Nashville-based songwriter and performer who has shaped some of pop music's biggest moments since the early 2000s. Her gift for crafting radio-friendly hooks and emotionally resonant lyrics has made her a sought-after collaborator for artists across genres, with placements on countless platinum records. McKee's understanding of what makes a song both musically infectious and lyrically memorable comes through in every track she touches.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the unstoppable drive of a modern pop anthem without requiring advanced pianistic technique, making it accessible for students across levels while keeping the energy intact. The three-way layout (piano, vocal, guitar) means you can use it in settings ranging from solo performance to ensemble collaboration, and the straightforward chord grids invite guitarists to participate actively rather than sit on the sidelines.

What to expect

Propulsive and confident, built on a groove that refuses to let up. The arrangement sparkles with the synthetic energy of contemporary pop production while the vocal melody delivers the kind of ear-catching hook that makes this song stick in your head for days.

Who it's for

Pianists, guitarists, and singers working in pop contexts or exploring contemporary repertoire in lessons, recitals, or informal performances. This sheet works equally well for solo singer-pianist duos, classroom demonstrations of modern song structure, or rehearsals where multiple musicians are learning the same arrangement.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the rhythmic pocket tight and consistent, especially in the verses; the groove matters more here than expressive rubato.
  • Balance the vocal line so it sits clearly above the piano accompaniment without requiring the singer to overpower the band.
  • Use the chord grids as a springboard for improvisation if you have guitarists ready to comp or embellish the basic changes.
  • Lock the kick and bass pattern if you're adding drums or other rhythm section instruments to reinforce the dance vibe.

How to use it

Program this alongside other contemporary pop standards in a recital to show range beyond classical or jazz repertoire, or use it as a bridge piece that appeals to younger students and audiences. It also works beautifully as a showcase for collaborative musicianship when you have singers, pianists, and guitarists in the same studio or classroom.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and executing pop rhythms and syncopation
  • Balancing melody and accompaniment in a full arrangement
  • Interpreting chord grids and understanding harmonic structure
  • Coordinating multiple instrumental parts in real time
  • Capturing the groove and energy of contemporary music
