Song Analysis - Thank You by MKTO

Taking a break from guitar tunings, this post will be an analysis and guide on the song "Thank You" by MKTO. MKTO is a pop group from Los Angeles, California. MKTO consists of singer Tony Oller and rapper Malcolm David Kelly. The group is signed to Columbia Records and released their first single "Thank You" in January 2013. The song gathered over 500,000 views in two days.

Classic is a pop song, featuring the usual pop "verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge" structure. The song is in the key of C, with the chords being C-G-Em-D. The song centers around rebellion and how the failure of the government affects our generation, which I find slightly amusing. While hearing this song, Lauryn Hill and Drake come to mind, with MKTO successfully incorporating singing and rapping into a sugary, roll down your windows and blast your stereo-pop song. MKTO is a good listen for folks who enjoy good, simple pop music with singing and rapping
