About Wait for It

"Wait for It" is a soliloquy sung by Aaron Burr, played by Leslie Odom Jr., midway through the first act of Hamilton: An American Musical. The beat on the first half of the song closely resembles dancehall reggae; you can compare the rhythm with that of Kevin Lyttle's "Turn Me On," which it matches almost exactly. The piano melody at the beginning is also echoed later in "Burn." The bass that comes in when the lyrics start also appears later, in “Non-Stop.” .
