Performance tips

• Keep the verses controlled and conversational so you have breath and energy for the explosive chorus.
• Don't oversing the pre-chorus; the payoff works best when the chorus clearly lifts in intensity.
• Articulation matters, especially in faster lyrical runs, so stay crisp rather than pushing volume.
