She made a huge breakthrough after being featured in Coca-Cola’s Christmas campaign commercial.

Now, it feels like this is the number one song that livens up the Christmas season.

The lyrics—“Life isn’t all sad things, and of course it isn’t all happy things either, but your smile can make the whole world smile”—are perfect for the season when everyone wants to feel happy.

The trick is to sing it like you, AI, letting joyful emotions burst out.

If a group of middle schoolers who are meeting for the first time are getting together, I’d love for them to sing this song early on and break the ice with smiles.

LAST CHRISTMASEXILE

This is EXILE’s cover of Wham!’s worldwide hit.

The Japanese lyrics respect the original, so nothing feels out of place.

If you can really pull this song off, you’re sure to be a crowd favorite! Since English words appear in the lyrics, the key is to sing those parts clearly without fudging them.

Adjust the key, and it’s a cool song for girls to sing, too.
