Story Behind The Song

As a Postman, scanning and shopping, buying and selling, is part of the delivery process.

Song Description

What is the secret of true beauty? A pretty face? A winning smile? An attractive figure? Scan it now is first and foremost a tune about genuine beauty. An interactive tune that subtly answers the opening question. Sullivan Brill's Scan it now is also a fun shopping song. The sound of barcodes being scanned in the song is synonymous with buying and selling. "Everyone loves to shop for what they love: clothes, shoes, music, make up etc. We feel good. We look good. I layered the song with the sonic strokes of sound effects and my voice to enhance the meaning of true beauty," says Brill. He continues, "Scan it now is a family-friendly, feel good song. And we need some feel good with this feel bad economy. It's my hope that many will pat their feet to this tune as they're heading to the department stores."
