Music, vocal arrangements and lyrics
The song is sung from a first person viewpoint, allowing an audience to "internalize" the message—which involves everybody—by canto the word "we" together. "Send It On" commences with acoustic guitars and then transitioning to violins. Cyrus and the youngest Jonas together sing the first verse, "A word’s just a word till tu mean what tu say." Then the two sing the first chorus together. Lovato and the middle Jonas then sing main lines of the segundo verse with the other group (Cyrus and the youngest Jonas) singing, "If we take the chances to change circumstances." Then, Gomez and the eldest Jonas also registrarse in the segundo chorus and sing the third verse. For the rest of the song the six of them sing, though Lovato's voice was the one with the most power lines. The en general, general theme and message of the song is to encourage to pass on the environmental pledge; this can be heavily interpreted from the lines: "Just one spark starts a fire."
