More about this title

About the Composer: Claude Kelly

Claude Kelly is a songwriter and producer who has crafted hits across pop, R&B, and hip-hop since the early 2000s. His work with major artists on radio-friendly anthems demonstrates a gift for writing melodies that stick with listeners long after first hearing them.

Why we love this

Greg Gilpin's arrangement captures the infectious energy of the original without sacrificing singability for three-part voices. The SAB voicing makes this accessible to mixed choirs of varying experience levels, and the contemporary pop idiom gives your singers material they genuinely want to perform.

What to expect

Celebratory and bold. The song radiates the confidence of a stadium anthem, with a driving rhythm that pulls singers forward and a hook designed to be unforgettable. There's permission built into the music to have fun and commit fully to the moment.

Who it's for

Mixed choirs at the middle school, high school, or community level who want contemporary pop material that connects with singers and audiences alike. This works especially well for groups building confidence in singing popular idioms or adding variety to a concert program.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the energy propulsive throughout. This song lives in its rhythmic momentum, so locked ensemble timing on the syncopated figures matters more than perfect blend.
  • Balance the recorded accompaniment carefully in rehearsal and performance. It's full and dense by design, so your singers need to sing with confidence to sit on top of it.
  • Shape the anthemic moments (especially around the hook) with dynamic lift. Small swells in volume and intensity make the payoff moments land harder.
  • Work the rhythmic precision of the SAB parts separately before combining them. The three voices move independently in spots, and clarity comes from each section owning their line.

How to use it

Program this for a pop-themed concert, a spring or end-of-year celebration, or as a palate cleanser between longer classical or art song selections. It can anchor a set of contemporary popular music or stand alone as a show-stopping finale that leaves audiences smiling.
