Twenty-five years after its release, it reached No.

1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in 2019 and has continued to return to the top every year since.

In Japan, it was used as the theme song for the 1994 Fuji TV drama “29-sai no Christmas,” and has become a seasonal staple that is always heard during the holidays.

It’s a perfect song to play on that special night with someone important.

Released as the first single from Apple Records and included on the compilation album of the same name, the song “Hey Jude” was written by Paul McCartney to comfort John Lennon’s son, Julian Lennon.

It is also known as an unusually long ballad for pop music, running over seven minutes.

Overall, the vocal range is narrow and easy to sing, but the melody rises and falls sharply, so take care not to miss the notes.

With a chorus that repeats at the end and invites a crowd sing-along, it’s a heartwarming number.

Taylor Swift – You Need To Calm Down

Taylor Swift expresses the honest feelings that women often find hard to say out loud—briskly and brilliantly—in the form of outstanding songs.

Having achieved massive commercial success at a young age, she’s also been subjected to a great deal of malicious criticism.

“You Need to Calm Down” is her way of gently admonishing people with different values to take it down a notch.

At the same time, the track offers an approach to issues like America’s polarization, and its music video—featuring many celebrities—lands a perfect punchline when Katy Perry, with whom Taylor was reported to have had a feud, appears at the end.

Through its euphoric melody and sound, the song teaches the importance of self-affirmation and understanding others, and it ultimately ties into themes of love and friendship.
