"Auld Lang Syne (The New Year's Anthem)" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey from her second Christmas album/thirteenth studio album, "Merry Christmas II You" (2010).
 The second single from the album, an extended play consisting of nine remixes was released by Island on December 14, 2010.
 Using the public domain poem "Auld Lang Syne" by Robert Burns, Carey along with Randy Jackson and Johnny "Sev" Severin (of RedOne) composed a new arrangement and re-titled it.
 The track garnered a negative response from critics, all of whom disliked how Carey had re-composed the poem into a house music song.
 An accompanying music video was released featuring a pregnant Carey singing in front of a background of exploding fireworks.
