Composition[edit]
"September" is in the key of A major with a tempo of 126 beats per minute in common time. The vocals span from ETraining Dynasty 2019 Kids Shirt Purple Barcelona Nike 2018 4 to F♯5.[3][4]
Using a chord progression written by Earth, Wind & Fire guitarist Al McKay, Allee Willis and Maurice White wrote the song over one month. Willis was originally bothered by the gibberish "ba-dee-ya" lyric White used through the song, and begged him to rewrite it: "I just said, 'What the fuck does 'ba-dee-ya' mean?' And he essentially said, 'Who the fuck cares?' I learned my greatest lesson ever in songwriting from him, which was never let the lyric get in the way of the groove."Trainer Nike Club Team Jacket Black TqERwq
Reception[edit]
The song was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry and certified gold in the US (Until the RIAA lowered the sales levels for certified singles in 1989, a Gold single equaled 1 million units sold.) "September" was later certified Gold for digital sales by the RIAA,[6][7][8] and has sold over 2 million digital copies in the US as of September 2017.[9] Earth, Wind & Fire recorded a new version of the song, retitled "December", for their 2014 Christmas album Holiday.
In the United Kingdom the song has been popular as the basis of football chants at a number of clubs: according to a Guardian article this originated at Newcastle United F.C. where fans started singing a chant about player Chancel Mbemba in the autumn of 2015.[10] It was also adapted by fans of the England national football team at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia: "Woah, England are in Russia / Woah, drinking all the vodka / Woah, England’s going all the way".[11]
