My Heart Will Go OnCéline Dion
This is a 1997 number by Canadian singer Celine Dion that became a hit as the theme song for the film Titanic, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.
The music video also features Titanic, enhancing the song’s impact.
Baby One More TimeBritney Spears
This song expresses the bittersweet pain of heartbreak, lingering feelings for an ex, and the hope for another chance.
The memorable phrase used in the title was initially changed due to concerns it might be misunderstood, but the lyric’s intent is a plea for one more chance.
The sweet voice of a 16-year-old girl pairs perfectly with a danceable beat, gripping listeners’ hearts.
Released in October 1998, the track became a massive hit, reaching No.
1 in 20 countries and becoming an iconic song in Britney Spears’s career.
It might be the perfect track for anyone feeling the sting of a breakup or wishing for another chance.
I will always love youWhitney Houston
It became a hit as the theme song for the film The Bodyguard, starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.
It was also a huge hit in Japan, and at the time, everyone knew it as “Ender’s song.” Sadly, Whitney, who was unable to overcome her drug addiction, passed away in 2012.

I don’t wanna miss a thingAerosmith
It’s Aerosmith’s 1998 hit song famous as the theme for the movie Armageddon.
In Armageddon, the vocalist Steven Tyler’s daughter, Liv Tyler—stunningly beautiful, almost hard to believe they’re parent and child—appears.
It’s one of Aerosmith’s popular songs, but its signature edge is somewhat toned down, so some listeners might find it a bit lacking in that distinctive Aerosmith feel.
Shy guyDiana King
It’s the 1995 hit by Jamaican R&B singer Diana King, included on her debut album Tuffer Than Love.
The song was used as the theme for the movie Bad Boys.
I remember it playing everywhere in Japan at the time and being extremely popular.
Save The Best For LastVanessa Williams
One of the great ballads of the 1990s, this heartwarming song centers on the unpredictability of love and life’s unexpected turns.
Vanessa Williams—also the first African American Miss America—captivated many with her warm, soulful voice and the song’s resonant melody.
Released in February 1992, it reached No.
1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
It became a worldwide smash, earning Gold and Platinum certifications in the United States and Australia.
The piece symbolizes the hope that the most wonderful love can arrive after failures and disappointments, and it’s a number I highly recommend to anyone open to life’s surprising twists.
VogueMadonna
This is a track released as a single from Madonna’s 1990 album I’m Breathless.
It was her biggest hit in the United States, and while it incorporated then-trendy house music and voguing, it was crafted as a superb pop song.
