“Auld Lang Syne” is a traditional 18th century folk tune that has come to be a staple in countries across the world in the welcoming of the new year. The song emerged out of Scotland and was written by Robert Burns as a way to shed off the past year as the clock strikes midnight.

Rimes included her version of this timeless classic on her 2015 album Today Is Christmas, along with songs like “Little Drummer Boy,” “We Need A Little Christmas,” and “I Still Believe In Santa Claus.”
