The way it gradually builds through the first and second verses and reaches its peak in the chorus makes it really satisfying to sing.
The vocal range is about an octave and a half, and the pitch should be just about right for the average male singer.
There’s a bit of leeway on the lower end, so if the high notes in the chorus are tough, it’s fine to lower the key.
The melody itself is relatively simple, so after listening a few times, you might find it surprisingly easy to sing smoothly.

Most of the lyrics follow a relaxed melodic line with few fast-paced parts, but the key challenge is the section right after the first chorus.
Unlike the other parts, the lyrics get a bit quicker there, and there are some falsetto lines as well, so it’s a good idea to listen closely to the song and practice that section in advance!
