More about this title
About the Composer: Claude Kelly
Claude Kelly is a songwriter and producer who has crafted pop hits across multiple genres and artists. His work in contemporary pop songwriting demonstrates a gift for creating melodies and lyrics that connect with broad audiences while remaining singable and engaging for ensemble performance.
Why we love this
Greg Gilpin's arrangement captures everything that made this song a chart success while making it entirely accessible for high school choirs. The voicing sits naturally, the energy is infectious without requiring advanced vocal technique, and students actually want to sing it, which alone makes this a win for any director looking to program contemporary pop that doesn't feel watered down.
What to expect
Pure celebration. The piece captures that sun-soaked, infectious energy of a summer anthem, with bright major-key harmonies and rhythmic drive that feels effortless once students settle into the groove. It's the musical equivalent of a hand in the air and a smile.
Who it's for
High school choirs and show choirs seeking current pop repertoire that doesn't sacrifice musicality for accessibility. This octavo works equally well for mixed groups looking for a crowd-pleasing encore or pep rally number.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the rhythm section locked and driving from the first rehearsal; this song lives and dies on groove, so establish a strong pulse early and ask percussionists and accompanists to nail the pocket before worrying about blend.
- Lean into the vocal layering and staggered entrances that Gilpin has built in; they create the energy and arrangement interest that keeps this from sounding like a straightforward pop cover.
- Use the recorded accompaniment to hear the original harmonic and rhythmic intent, then gradually scale back the reinforcement as your singers gain confidence and internalize the style.
How to use it
This works perfectly as a finale or encore at concerts, pep rallies, or spring concerts when you want to send the audience home energized. It pairs well with other contemporary pop selections in a mixed show or stands alone as a crowd-pleasing set closer.
Skills your students will build
- Rhythmic precision in pop and contemporary idioms
- Maintaining groove and ensemble synchronization with accompaniment
- Stylistic phrasing and articulation in non-classical contexts
- Vocal blend and balance in layered, modern arrangements
- Confidence with accessible popular repertoire
