More about this title

About the Composer: Ali Payami

Ali Payami is a Swedish songwriter and producer who has shaped contemporary pop music through collaborations with major artists across multiple genres. His work demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of melody, production, and vocal arrangement that translates effectively to choral settings.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the melodic sophistication and production clarity that made the original compelling while remaining accessible for mixed choirs. The recorded accompaniment frees your singers to focus on blend and interpretation rather than pitch, and the pop idiom connects with audiences across age groups.

What to expect

Polished and immediate, with the radio-ready production quality that defines modern pop. The choral setting preserves the emotional directness of the original while adding harmonic depth and ensemble warmth.

Who it's for

Mixed choirs performing contemporary repertoire, pop ensembles, and groups seeking accessible modern material with strong audience appeal. The arrangement works for high school through adult community choirs.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the lead vocal line against the harmonic support; the arrangement's effectiveness depends on hearing the melody clearly without the choir drowning it out.
  • Shape the phrases to the song's natural phrasing rather than the bar lines. Pop phrasing often sits slightly behind the beat, which requires deliberate rehearsal choices.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment in rehearsals to lock in the groove before performing live, ensuring your singers internalize the rhythmic pocket that defines the song's character.

How to use it

Feature this in a contemporary pops concert or mixed programming where you want to program modern hits alongside classical or jazz repertoire. It also works as an opener or closer that signals accessibility and current relevance to your audience.

Skills your students will build

  • Interpreting rhythmic feel and groove from a recorded accompaniment
  • Balancing lead voice projection against harmonic backgrounds
  • Sustaining intonation in modern harmonic language
