Wrap Me Up: SSA Choral Octavo

Meghan Trainor's retro-pop signature comes through clearly in this arrangement, giving your singers something genuinely fun to perform rather than another generic holiday novelty. The call-and-response structure keeps every voice part engaged, and that rap breakdown provides comedic contrast that audiences love without requiring special skills to pull off.

Bright, bouncy, and irreverent. The piece moves between playful banter and a full-voiced pop sound, anchored by Trainor's retro-pop sensibility. It has the energy of a holiday party rather than a formal concert piece, which is exactly the point.

Choirs looking for a holiday selection that entertains both singers and audience without requiring advanced technique. This works equally well for middle school, high school, or community groups that want something contemporary and lighthearted on their December programs.

• Lock in the rhythmic precision on the call-and-response sections; the humor lands when the timing feels tight and intentional, not conversational.
• Give the rap breakdown its own character and attitude. This isn't a technical showpiece; it's meant to be playful, so let your singers lean into the attitude.
• The SoundTrax keeps the retro groove steady, so resist the urge to rush or drag during phrase endings. Let the track lead the tempo.

Place this in the second half of a holiday concert where the audience is ready for something fun and contemporary. It pairs well with both traditional carols and other pop arrangements, offering a moment of levity that keeps a long program from feeling heavy.
