Useful detail

Performance tip

When rehearsing Locked Up, aim the repeated questions at one imagined listener so they sound intentional rather than merely recited. That preparation will keep Locked Up from flattening into one dynamic level.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Locked Up rewards a singer who knows the lyric well enough to focus on the lyric’s point of view. Its structure offers some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement, while the words have a dense lyric flow. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
