This power ballad from the Barbie Movie was just begging to be transformed into a barbershop contest vehicle. It was commissioned by an SATB ensemble, and thus, while its harmonic choices, voicings, and indeed emotional registers are all classic barbershop, the opportunities provided by a wider overall range in the ensemble allows it to paint its pictures on a larger canvas.
