Beloved Kiwi personality Suzy Cato’s new song I Can Do It! came to her while she was fitness training as a celebrity competitor on the popular TV show Dancing with the Stars in 2018.
The children’s TV host used to chant the mantra in her head to help her conquer climbing up a series of steep hills in her Auckland neighbourhood.
“Those simple words gave me a sense of confidence and strength to carry on,” she tells. “I knew it was a core message that would help others as well, especially children.”
The experience gave Suzy a brilliant idea. She immediately called her friend and award-winning Nelson songwriter Kath Bee, so they could work together to write the lyrics and catchy tune for their brand new song.
The pair had initially collaborated on the song Sprinkle a Little Sunshine, which became a hit in primary schools across the country.
Suzy is so in love with their new tune, that during our interview, she bursts into spontaneous song, presenting a sneak peek of I Can Do It!
“I don’t have to be the best – I just need to be my best! And once I start, I’ll keep on going and encourage all the rest,” she sings.
She says the upbeat lyrics provide children with positive affirmations and encourages them to use their imaginations.
