It’s My LifeBon Jovi

Bon Jovi – It’s My Life (Official Music Video)

An old blockbuster song that everyone has heard at least once has the power to lift the mood of any gathering, regardless of genre or age.

In that sense, Bon Jovi’s songs are a perfect choice.

Among their many hits, I recommend the classic that heralded the start of the 2000s: “It’s My Life”! Also well known as comedian Nakayama Kinnikun’s theme song, this massive hit features a tight, heavy beat, guitar with a talk box reminiscent of “Livin’ on a Prayer,” and an irresistibly catchy melody delivering a powerful message—truly an anthem.

If you perform it at karaoke for a year-end or New Year’s party, you can bet on a rousing sing-along.

WhateverOasis

Oasis – Whatever (Official Video)

It’s a bona fide anthem that’s sure to ignite any gathering of the ’90s alternative rock generation! Released as a single in December 1994 by Oasis, the greatest rock band to come out of the UK, it appeared in Japan as a special mini-album but wasn’t included on a proper studio album.

Because of that, many people may have first discovered it on the 2010 best-of compilation.

The sublime strings performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra fused with guitar rock create a sound that could only be described as quintessentially British, leaving no room for debate that this is a classic.

With its positive, empowering message—“you can do anything”—it’s the kind of song that can unite partygoers’ hearts, whether at year’s end or the dawn of a new year!

High HopesPanic! At The Disco

High Hopes

A huge hit released in 2018 by the American rock band Panic! at the Disco.

Above all, the lyrics are fantastic, and—as the title “High Hopes” suggests—it’s a song that powerfully cheers everyone on.

The rhythm in the chorus is excellent, too; it’s such an upbeat number that your body naturally starts to sway when you hear it.

Since it sings about aiming high, it’s perfect for New Year’s parties and the like!
