It’s a track by the rock band WANIMA, created as a song for an au commercial.
Based on the children’s song “Picnic,” it carries the message: “Have courage and try taking on anything.” It’s packed with uplifting elements, including a round-singing section.
Choreographing movements with accents to match those parts would be wonderful, too.
