With fierce guitar and drums, it’s an up-tempo rock ’n’ roll sound that whips the crowd into a frenzy at live shows.

It’s said to portray the loneliness of youth and the impulse to search for one’s true self amid the impersonal cityscape.

It’s a very energetic song, so if your energy isn’t high when you sing it, you might not be able to keep up with its momentum.

Also, since the range is a bit high, being mindful of a more projected “stage voice” and sending your sound as far as possible will help open your throat and make it easier to sing.

It’s highly recommended when you’re in the mood to belt your heart out!
