The use of the drums, bass, piano coincide with her voice and it makes the song way more interesting. The mood and rhythm flows and is upbeat. The tempo increases when she begins her scatting

Have you ever wondered why you listen to the music you listen to, or why it's your favorite music? What does your music mean to you? You don’t listen to country music if you don't like the country things, like trucks, girls, dirt roads, etc, but you listen to the songs that you like and reflect who you are. For me the perfect music is the music that relates to what your feeling or who you are. I’ve always been that person who could listen to pop, christian, christian rap, country, in one day.

The a cappella world is a world that many people don't usually explore, and just became popular with recent movies. Even then the movies aren't very realist.

Without one part or the beat boxer the song would either have no beat or just feel empty. Every part depends on the other and its a
