What's your favourite song?

What's your favourite song? It's a terrible question to ask, so let us apologise right now. Your favourite song might change from day to day, or more frequently. And "favourite" isn't a particularly helpful categorisation – you might have many different favourite songs, depending on the mood or situation.

Neverthless, we are asking you to pick out just one song that you could reasonably claim is your favourite – and we'd like you to tell us what it is that you love about it. Does it remind you of a certain time, or a certain person? Was it the first song you danced to at your wedding, or was it just the last song you heard before leaving the house this morning?

Tell us about your favourite song via GuardianWitness using the blue "contribute" links above and below (and make sure you select the "text" tab on the submission form.) Later this month we'll publish a selection of the best suggestions.
