More about this title

About the Artist: Sia

Sia Furler is an Australian singer and songwriter known for her distinctive vocal style and prolific work across pop, electronic, and film music. Her 2014 collaboration with composer Pasek and Paul for the animated film "Annie" brought her songwriting talents to a family musical context, creating music that balances contemporary sensibility with theatrical storytelling.

Beyond her solo career, Sia has become a sought-after voice for film and television projects, contributing songs that resonate emotionally across diverse audiences. Her approach to melody and lyrical authenticity translates effectively to educational choral settings, where her compositions challenge singers to connect genuinely with their material.

Why we love this

Arranger Mark Brymer captures the infectious optimism of this modern musical theater classic in a 2-part setting that feels neither oversimplified nor condescending to young singers. The arrangement honors Sia's melodic gifts while creating genuine harmonic interest, making it an excellent choice for choirs looking to program contemporary material without sacrificing musical substance.

What to expect

Upbeat and contagious, with a modern pop sensibility that stays theatrical. The melody sits comfortably in the contemporary idiom while maintaining the theatrical warmth audiences expect from a musical theater selection.

Who it's for

Middle school and high school choirs seeking contemporary musical theater material that connects with students' actual musical tastes. This arrangement works equally well for concert settings, musicals, and pop-oriented choral festivals.

How to get the most out of it

  • Treat the tempo as energetic but not rushed; the song's charm depends on crisp articulation and clear diction, so lock in your groove before pushing the tempo.
  • Shape the melody through subtle dynamic changes rather than relying on volume alone to convey the text's emotional arc.
  • Balance the two parts carefully so neither overwhelms; this arrangement works best when both lines share equal presence in the mix.
  • Pay attention to the lyrical repetition as a compositional device, not a cue to phone it in. Each iteration should feel purposeful and engaged.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary musical theater selections to build a concert section that speaks to current students, or use it as a accessible entry point into Broadway repertoire for choirs newer to the genre. Its relatively compact length and straightforward 2-part voicing make it ideal for programming alongside larger ensemble works.

Skills your students will build

  • Balancing two independent melodic lines with equal clarity
  • Connecting emotionally to contemporary pop-influenced material
  • Executing clean articulation in uptempo settings
  • Interpreting modern musical theater style with authenticity
