About the Artist: Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter has established herself as a distinctive voice in contemporary pop, known for crafting songs that blend infectious grooves with emotionally intelligent lyrics. Her live performances showcase a polished yet approachable artistry that resonates particularly well with younger audiences, making her catalog an engaging entry point for choral programs exploring current popular music.
Why we love this
Roger Emerson captures the propulsive energy of the original without sacrificing singability or sophistication in this arrangement. The rhythmic drive and modern sensibility appeal to singers who live in contemporary pop radio, while the accessible voicing keeps rehearsal focused on performance rather than vocal acrobatics.
What to expect
Bright and buoyant, with the kind of groove that makes singers want to move. The arrangement carries the directness and emotional clarity of the original, creating an immediate connection between performers and listeners without requiring irony or distance.
Who it's for
Choirs seeking repertoire that speaks to their singers' musical lives and captures current popular taste. Programs that value engaging audiences with contemporary material while maintaining musical craftsmanship. Ensembles comfortable with the rhythmic precision and style-specific interpretation pop arrangements require.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the groove between your rhythm section and singers from the first rehearsal; the pocket matters as much as pitch accuracy here.
- Encourage singers to lean into the contemporary phrasing and articulation rather than applying classical legit technique, which will flatten the style.
- Use the recorded accompaniment in early rehearsals to establish the harmonic landscape, then gradually pull it back so singers own the tuning independently.
- Shape dynamics around the text and emotional arc of the relationship narrative; this isn't a piece that benefits from consistent volume.
How to use it
Drop this into a pop or contemporary music spotlight within a mixed concert to give audiences a moment of genuine pleasure and recognition. It works particularly well as a closer or second-to-last piece, where it can capitalize on the energy and relatability factor to send audiences out satisfied.
