Lady Antebellum's song "Chop to the Top" is a ridiculously catchy tune sung in the musical by SpongeBob and Sandy as a call to be brave and make their way through obstacles in front of them. The clappable beat and pleasing addition of playful violins in the background makes the lyrics, "You've gotta chop to the top if you want it/Just go ahead and give it a try/I know you're scared, just be brave, you can do it/You've gotta give it all you've got inside," seem effortlessly inspirational.
