More about this title

About the Composer: Kristian Bush

Kristian Bush is a founding member of Sugarland, the country duo that has sold millions of albums and dominated country radio since the early 2000s. As a songwriter and performer, Bush helped craft Sugarland's signature blend of country authenticity with pop accessibility, writing and co-writing many of their biggest hits. His work demonstrates a keen understanding of how to construct songs with immediate melodic appeal and emotional resonance.

Why we love this

Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the infectious energy of "Stuck Like Glue" while making it genuinely singable for a mixed chorus. The three-part voicing sits comfortably across ranges, and the arrangement preserves the song's playful swagger without demanding virtuosic technique. Directors get a contemporary title that audiences recognize, paired with clean voice leading that lets students sound polished after reasonable rehearsal time.

What to expect

Upbeat and affectionate, with the playful swagger of country-pop romance. The piece bounces along with a conversational ease that invites audiences in, balancing sincerity with humor in that distinctly Sugarland way.

Who it's for

Mixed choirs seeking contemporary repertoire with genuine commercial appeal and a story. Arrangements suitable for show choirs, concert choirs, or secular community groups who want to program something their singers know and audiences will recognize.

How to get the most out of it

  • Anchor the opening phrases in the melody line; the familiarity of the hook is your greatest asset, so let it ring clearly before the other parts layer in
  • Keep the rhythm section locked and conversational rather than rigid. This country-pop hybrid breathes best when it swings slightly behind the beat
  • Use contrasting dynamics between verses and chorus to build momentum. The arrangement likely saves full voice for the refrain, so respect those quiet moments in setup sections
  • Shape the middle section for maximum charm. If there's a key modulation or rhythmic pivot, rehearse that transition thoroughly so students feel the lift, not the seam

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary titles to demonstrate your choir's range from classical to current popular music. It works as a pops concert centerpiece or as the lighter moment in a mixed program that otherwise leans traditional. The relative accessibility also makes it a strong choice mid-season when singers have built ensemble cohesion but before heavier repertoire demands focus.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing with rhythmic precision in country-influenced syncopation
  • Balancing ensemble blend in a three-part mixed texture
  • Interpreting contemporary songwriting for concert performance
  • Shaping dynamic contrast across verse and chorus structures
  • Connecting lyrical storytelling to musical phrasing
