What the voice is asked to do
A stomping mid-tempo that never asks for extreme notes but asks for relentless chest-voice power. The chorus hammers C5 and D5 in full belt, phrase after phrase, and the backing-vocal stabs tempt singers into pushing. It rewards a settled mixed belt far more than raw volume — the range is modest, the workload is not.
Figures are the cited key and lead-vocal range (Musicnotes original-key arrangement, Bb3–D5 in C minor), not lab measurements. No lyrics or melody are reproduced here — this page is about what the song demands of a voice.
