More about this title

About the Artist: Katy Perry

Katy Perry emerged as one of pop music's defining voices in the 2010s, crafting anthems that connected with millions through unapologetic positivity and infectious hooks. Her ability to write songs that feel both radio-friendly and genuinely meaningful has made her catalog a natural fit for choral arrangers seeking contemporary material with real emotional resonance.

Perry's work often centers on themes of resilience and self-affirmation, qualities that translate powerfully to the choral setting. Directors drawn to modern pop recognize in her songwriting a rare combination of accessibility and substance that engages student performers while maintaining musical integrity.

Why we love this

Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the unstoppable momentum of the original while building in dynamic variety that gives singers real moments to shine. The pop idiom paired with an affirmative message creates something your ensemble will genuinely want to perform, and your audience will respond to with immediate recognition and energy.

What to expect

Bold and propulsive, built on a foundation of unwavering confidence. The arrangement maintains the original's infectious groove while giving singers room to deliver lyrics that matter, creating a performance that feels both celebratory and genuinely earned.

Who it's for

Directors looking for contemporary pop that feels current without sacrificing musical substance will find a strong tool here. This works for show choirs, pop vocal groups, and traditional ensembles wanting to expand their season with a moment of unabashed energy.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock in the groove by having your rhythm section establish the backbeat early in rehearsal; this song lives in its pocket, and locked drums and bass free the singers to focus on text delivery.
  • Layer the confidence building approach: introduce the melody and harmony separately before combining them, since the overlapping lines in the chorus require precise independence.
  • Emphasize the lyrical conviction in moments where the ensemble holds power chords or sustained notes; conviction in the voice makes the affirmation land with the audience, not just technical accuracy.

How to use it

Position this as an encore or finale act when you want to send audiences home on an uplifted note. It pairs well on a pop or contemporary concert where it can anchor the second half, or functions as an opening piece on a traditional season concert to signal that modern voices belong in your programming.

Skills your students will build
