Happy New YearJustin Bieber ft. Jaden Smith
When it comes to the classic collaboration between Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith, “Never Say Never” is the first song that comes to mind, but they actually have a New Year–themed track as well.
Titled “Happy New Year,” this straightforwardly named song has a languid, downtempo R&B vibe.
It’s a youthful love song only two teenagers at the time could have created, brimming with an endearingly sweet and slightly embarrassing innocence.
The track wasn’t included on any album and was suddenly released on New Year’s Eve 2011, which may be why it’s relatively little-known despite their star power.
It’s perfect as background music for the hours spent with a young lover from New Year’s Eve into New Year’s Day—why not give it a listen?
It’s just another New Years eveBarry Manilow

33 on the U.S.
