Our favourite anti-New Year's Eve anthem now has a video to match.

Pale Waves have dropped the gloomy visual for their brilliant new single 'New Year's Eve', a sparkly guitar-pop anthem about the messiness of the most hyped night of every year.

Showing the dark side of December 31st while keeping it glam and glittery onstage is exactly why the Manchester-bred group are one of our MTV Brand New For 2018 nominees.

Maybe I left you
But you were with your friends
I tried to make a good impression
But I failed again

It was New Years Eve, there's too much noise
I could barely hear my own voice
I always said you were too shy
But then I went off to cry
I stopped so many times
Blank faces passing me by
I wish I never worn that white dress
And you found me outside
Looking like somebody died
Thought my heart was coming out my chest

I don't wanna be alone on New Years Eve
Do you even wanna be with me?
I don't wanna be alone on New Years Eve
Do you even wanna be with me?

I vaguely remember laughing with your best friend
And you used to tell me that she didn't like me
Did you lie or did she pretend?

I don't wanna be alone on New Years Eve
Do you even wanna be with me?
I don't wanna be alone on New Years Eve
Do you even wanna be with me (be with me, be with me)?

I think you're so kind
And all I give you is such a terrible time
And I fucked it, never forget
The way you looked at me
Yeah, I fucked it, never forget
You're the best thing that's happened to me (me, me, me)

I don't wanna be alone on New Years Eve
Do you even wanna be with me?
I don't wanna be alone on New Years Eve
Do you even wanna be with me?
Oh, I don't wanna be alone on New Years Eve
You're the best thing that's happened to me
I don't wanna be alone on New Years Eve
You, you're the best thing that's happened to me

There's not many things better than sad-but-danceable pop and Pale Waves do it all too well, as lead singer Heather Baron-Gracie sings of her NYE f**k-ups over luscious '80s-esque synths.

The video shows the band solemnly performing the song, while Heather has a rather miserable late-night walk home alone in the wee hours of the day.

We've all been there: a bit too drunk, rather upset, probably for no reason, on a night that you and your mates had been counting down the days for, and it's all a bit disappointing.

With their debut EP - also titled New Year's Eve - set to drop in January, there is plenty to look forward to in 2018 for Pale Waves, so hopefully they all have a better NYE celebration this time around.

If not then at least they've released the perfect song to soundtrack their regret the day after, eh?

Words: Ross McNeilage

Everyone's getting so high
Losing their minds
And I'm looking for you, looking for you
I don't even know what I'm doing here
Why don't you just tell me?
Cause I'd rather be lonely

Your heart's so heavy
Your heart is strange
You wanna love me
But honey, that ain't okay
You're not so heavenly
And I'm not sure that you're for me
But in the morning, it might just change

Oh, baby, won't you stop it?
You and I haven't got it
Television romance
Oh, baby, won't you stop it?
You and I haven't got it, got it
Television romance

Now I don't know what to say to you
I feel like you're getting to me
And I know that's what you're into
And your face isn't enough, never enough
To make me stay, stay, oh

Oh, baby, won't you stop it?
You and I haven't got it
Television romance
Oh, baby, won't you stop it?
You and I haven't got it, got it
Television romance

You think that you can have me tonight
I think that my, think my heart is alright
And oh baby think that I've got all the time
But in a few hours, I'll be out of my mind

Oh, baby, won't you stop it?
You and I haven't got it
Television romance
Oh, baby, won't you stop it?
You and I haven't got it, got it
Television romance

Oh, baby, won't you stop it? (Oh, baby, won't you stop it?)
You and I haven't got it (You and I haven't got it)
Television romance
Oh, baby, won't you stop it? (Oh, baby, won't you stop it?)
You and I haven't got it, got it (You and I haven't got it, got it)
Television romance (Television romance)

Oh, baby, won't you stop it?
You and I haven't got it

Oh, baby, won't you stop it?
You and I haven't got it, got it
