About “Stay”
- How do the bar-notation visuals help sing "Stay" with this backing?
- Each chord change drops as a colored bar across the staff, scrolling in real time so you can see exactly when the harmony shifts. Helpful for hitting entrances and judging when to breathe — especially on phrases that don't begin on beat 1 of "Stay".
- What key is the piano accompaniment for "Stay" by Zedd & Alessia Cara in?
- The backing track is in Db at 100 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
- Can I sing over "Stay" with this accompaniment?
- Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
- Is this a karaoke version of "Stay"?
- Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Stay", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
- Can I use "Stay" as a backing track for my instrument?
- Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
- Can I download the accompaniment for "Stay"?
- Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
- Who wrote "Stay"?
- "Stay" was originally performed by Zedd & Alessia Cara. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
- How do I use "Stay" as a backing track?
- Just press play — the piano accompaniment runs from start to end, no vocals. Sing, hum, or play your own instrument over it. Use the mic icon to add a vocal melody as a pitch reference, and the speed control if you want a slower practice tempo.
- Can I change the key of "Stay" to fit my voice?
- Yes — the original is in Db, but the player has a live transpose control so you can shift up or down semitones until the melody sits in your vocal range. The piano accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
