This time of the year, it's all about the parties and holidays that seem to happen right after the other.

It's a day to have fun while dancing the night (and year) away. In addition to your thoughts on which glittery dress to wear or who you may (or may not) be kissing at midnight, you'll definitely need New Year's song lyrics for captions for your NYE Instagram posts, because what describes your mood better than a song?

They also make amazing Instagram captions, especially when they’re about the holidays.
