Listen to the 2024 Grammy’s “Song of the Year” nominees before tonight’s ceremony

The contenders for “Song of the Year” at the 2024 Grammys are all well deserved for the award. However, only one is going to take the award home, so, listen to the songs by Taylor Swift, SZA, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Lana del Rey, Dua Lipa, and Jon Batiste to choose your favorite one.

On February 4, one of the most important ceremonies, the Grammys is going to be carried out with great performances, and great nominees. “Song of the Year” is one of the four most prestige categories which is described as: “To honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency, and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position.”

“Anti-Hero” by Taylor Swift

“Midnights” lead single caused such a commotion among Taylor’s fans, better known as Swifties, because of the deep meaning of the song. Talking about sabotage and depersonalization is the perfect duo to make such an incredible bop.

“I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis.”

“A&W” by Lana del Rey

One of the most prominent songs “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd” became the favorite of the general public because of the genius marketing behind its title. “A&W” is a fast-food chain but also the expression, “American Whore” talks about sexuality and how she is addicted to it.

“It’s not about havin’ someone to love me anymore (Oh, okay)
No, this is the experience of bein’ an American whore.”

“Dance The Night” by Dua Lipa

On July 2023, Dua Lipa’s bop “Dance The Night” had everyone dancing inside cinemas around the world, and the pop smash song quickly climbed on everyone’s playlist. The song embodies the “Barbie” fever of living inside a perfect life, partying with friends.

“Even when the tears are flowin’, they’re diamonds on my face
I’ll still keep the party goin’, not one hair out of place (Yes, I can)”

“Butterfly” by Jon Batiste

The 2022 “Album of the Year” recipient, Jon Batiste, is back again with a great song from “World Music Radio.” The song wasn’t released as a single but is one of the fans’ favorite songs inside the album as it is an homage to the music diversity and his connection with the universe.

“A color scheme from a dream, hm
A tapestry to soul supreme
I mean, I’ve never seen
Something so damn beautiful, oh, child.”

“Kill Bill” by SZA

SZA knew how to exactly embody Quentin Tarantino’s mind in his movie, “Kill Bill.” The song sparked controversy because of its lyrics, which explicitly talk about the desire to kill her partner in order not to be alone anymore.

“I just killed my ex, I still love him though (I do)
Rather be in hell than alone.”

“Flowers” by Miley Cyrus

Who didn’t listen to this amazing song at the start of 2023? The lead single of “Endless Summer Vacation” encourages people to be happy alone, be complete with themselves, and know they are worthy to start again just like she did.

“I didn’t wanna leave you, I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers (Uh-huh).”

“What Was I Made For” by Billie Eilish

Another masterpiece from the duo, Billie Eilish and Finneas, presents the other face of living in a perfect world. One of the most emotional songs in “Barbie” has already earned thousands of fans’ hearts because of its honest lyrics about reflecting on ourselves.

“Think I forgot how to be happy
Somethin’ I’m not, but somethin’ I can be
Somethin’ I wait for.”

“Vampire” by Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia’s lead single from her sophomore album, “GUTS” reflects the reality of being famous and who she can trust. She refers to her ex-partner as a bloodsucker because of him using her name just for clout.

“You said it was true love, but wouldn’t that be hard?
You can’t love anyone ’cause that would mean you had a heart.”
