TikTok hit.

All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them.

ABOUT THE SONG

It is hard to imitate the electronic sound of "Alibi" on a piano. The right hand imitates the vocal delivery by Sevdaliza, Pabllo Vittar and Yseult: a predominant vocal style is legato.

Pitch inflections (slurred notes) should be played very quietly.

Play pianissimo, tenuto.

"Alibi" is composed with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners; accent strong beats.

The chorus of "Alibi" was colored *blue* for you to have a mental scheme of a composition. Play every repetition differently.

The left hand provides with musical texture. "Alibi" is homophonic: harmony supports the vocal line with chords. You can re-arrange it or break the chords.

"Alibi" is transcribed in the original key, B Minor, and uses basic major and minor chords Bm Em G A.

The aesthetic value of a track is based on slight variation of the same motive.
