The oldest national anthem, defined as "a song, as of praise, devotion, or patriotism", is the Dutch national anthem "Het Wilhelmus", which was written between 1568 and 1572, but not then given any official status.

 "Het Wilhelmus" was declared the national anthem of the Netherlands in 1932; both of these anthems remain in use today.
 A royal or imperial anthem is a song that is similar in patriotic character to a national anthem, but which specifically praises a monarch, or royal dynasty.

"E Ola Ke Aliʻ i Ke Akua", translated as "God Save the King", was one of Hawaii's four national anthems.
 It was composed in 1860 by Prince William Charles Lunalilo, who later became King Lunalilo.
 Prior to 1860, the Kingdom of Hawaii lacked its own national anthem and had used the British royal anthem "God Save The King".
 A contest was sponsored in 1860 by Kamehameha IV, who wanted a song with Hawaiian lyrics set to the tune of the British anthem.
 The winning entry was written by the 25-year-old Lunalilo and was reputed to have been written in 20 minutes.
 Lunalilo was awarded 10 dollars, which later donated to the Queen's Hospital.
 His composition became Hawaii's first national anthem.
 It remained Hawaii's national anthem until 1866, when it was replaced by Queen Liliʻ uokalani's composition "He Mele Lahui Hawaii".

 The national anthem of Japan, Kimigayo, has the oldest lyrics, dating from the 9th century.
 However, a melody was added only in the late 19th century, making it a poem rather than an anthem for most of its lifespan.
 Although the "Wilhelmus" was not recognised as the official national anthem until 1932, it has always been popular with parts of the Dutch population and resurfaced on several occasions in the course of Dutch history before gaining its present status.
 It was also the anthem of the Netherlands Antilles from 1954 to 1964.
The current National Anthem of the Republic of China () was adopted in 1937; previously, the Song to the Auspicious Cloud was used as the official anthem.

 A royal anthem is a patriotic song similar to a national anthem, but it specifically praises or prays for a monarch or royal dynasty.
