An easy piano transcription made by request for beginners. *Re-arrange* the left hand with arpeggios or other patterns. You can omit playing *green notes* (the second voice). The lyrics are always included in my sheet music because I think we should always *sing* while playing piano. You can also use the video for karaoke.
Bookmark and *play the synthesia video with 0.5 speed on mute to practice the song.* Printscreen to save instead of *pdf* — Chrome extensions like "youtube screenshot" make HQ pictures. There are only 4 pages to print.
*ABOUT THE SONG*
The Olivia Rodrigo's track has some interesting formal and harmonic things:
_"Can't Catch Me Now"_ is composed in a Chopin way. The instrumental part is in the common 4/4 time and the melody is in compound 6/4 time (written as 3/4 for easy sight-reading). I believe the term for such music is *hemiola*, a vertical hemiola. It is hard to play so you can skip everything in the left hand that you can't play.
Accenting strong beats. Take care to maintain a steady pulse and listen the recording while looking at the score to catch the rhythm. Practice _"Can't Catch Me Now"_ slowly.
To keep listeners attention, the *chorus* was made to be the biggest part of a song. I colored it *blue* for your convenience: it is easier to learn a piece of music when you have a mental scheme of it. Play every part differently, as expressively as possible. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.
_"Can't Catch Me Now"_ is a song with a homophonic arrengement: a repetitive figured bass isn't considered as a counterpoint.
The vocal part is rhythmic but with pitch inflections (slurred notes). All inflected notes should be played very quietly. A predominant vocal style is *staccato*.
_"Can't Catch Me Now"_ is transcribed in the original *key,* B Minor, and uses basic/extended major and minor chords *Bm D Gmaj7 A Em D F#m.* Extended chords help create richer sounds. A chord change marks time and musical structure rather than creates a meaningful harmonic pull.
The melodic line is built on repetitions and has little development. It seems ill-proportioned and unbalanced. A good producer could made it such an interesting track but we have what we have.
Of course I consider filling your *requests* of sheet music except for not popular tracks.
