More about this title

About the Artist: Shakira

Shakira emerged as a global pop phenomenon in the late 1990s, blending Latin rhythms with pop sensibility and distinctive vocal stylings that made her instantly recognizable. Beyond her chart success, she has become a cultural ambassador, with her music featured prominently in major films and animated projects that reach young audiences worldwide.

Why we love this

Alan Billingsley's arrangement captures the infectious optimism of this Disney anthem while keeping the vocal writing accessible for developing choirs. The SSA/SSAA voicing allows flexibility across different choir levels, and the pop idiom gives students permission to embrace contemporary repertoire without sacrificing musicianship or ensemble refinement.

What to expect

Optimistic and energizing, with a buoyant melodic hook that stays with listeners long after the final note. The arrangement maintains the original's warmth and accessibility while supporting fuller harmonic textures that make singers feel like they're part of something bigger.

Who it's for

Middle school and high school choirs seeking contemporary, feel-good repertoire that appeals to young singers and audiences alike. This arrangement works equally well for secular choirs, concert programs that include film music, and directors building confidence in pop styles.

How to get the most out of it

  • Let the rhythm drive the piece. The pop groove relies on committed, steady pulse work from your singers, not a classical legit sound.
  • Highlight the lyrical message of resilience and growth. This song works best when singers genuinely connect to its theme, making choices about phrasing and dynamics that reinforce the narrative.
  • Balance the ensemble texture by checking that all voice parts sit in the mix together. SSA voicing can muddy if the lower voices aren't projected with intention.

How to use it

This pairs naturally with other Disney or contemporary film music, making it ideal for family concerts, spring pops shows, or programs celebrating animated film soundtracks. Its uplifting message also works well as a concert opener or closer that sends audiences out in a positive frame of mind.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing in pop/contemporary idioms with stylistic awareness
  • Maintaining rhythmic precision in syncopated passages
  • Balancing SSA voicing for clarity and blend
  • Connecting lyrics to performance choices and emotional intent
  • Reading and interpreting modern choral notation and rhythmic figures
