What sets Rooting For You by Kelsie Kimberlin apart?

In contrast to the original song, Kelsie’s “Rooting For My Baby” discusses a completely different subject. Kelsie Kimberlin sings for her fellow Ukrainians to hold onto hope. Being Ukrainian herself, She felt it was important to address this matter. She then created a song beautifully illustrating that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The original song features a more relaxing beat pattern. Compared to which, Kelsie’s peppiness is a welcome change. Rooting for my baby is filled with guitar, drums and upbeat harmonies that elevates the atmosphere of hope within the soundtrack. “So you roll up your sleeves and you sweat and breathe. This is a long road, so much more to go. Just hold on.” she sings.
