Either way, you need the perfect song to kick dirt in the face of 2017 as you race off into the new year. The pressure is on and endlessly scrolling through your numerous party playlists is bringing no joy.

Luckily, Twitter users have begun suggesting uber-specific points in songs, and the exact time you need to hit play hear them as the clock strikes 12. It’s a simple way to guarantee that 2018 begins with the perfect soundtrack. Frank Ocean has a couple of great moments in his catalog, while starting the year with Evanescence's signature hit "Bring Me To Life" is another ideal scenario. Read on for a round-up of song selections, and those vital times, below. Oh, and FYI, if you play Kanye's "Monster" at 11:56:25 p.m. on the night, the Nicki Minaj verse will start just as 2018 begins.
