It's the last note of the verse. Everything lifts into the chorus. Except the bass.
Just because you can play a note doesn't mean you should.

Yeah, but also just cos everything else lifts doesn't mean you should. Contrary motion, counterpoint etc all valid musical devices.
I'm not saying you're wrong as i've never listened to the song you are on about. But musically i like things moving in different directions.
