What the voice is asked to do
An octave and a sixth separates the grounded Ab3 low from the F5 peak, so this is less about one isolated high note than keeping every register available at a brisk pop pace. Start the phrases lighter than the recording suggests, map the two range edges separately, and only join the full song after both ends stay free of strain.
