The Grammy Award for Song of the Year is an honor presented at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards. The Song of the Year award is one of the four most prestigious categories at the awards (alongside Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Album of the Year), presented annually since the 1st Grammy Awards in 1959. According to the 54th Grammy Awards description guide, the award is presented to honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position, and this award goes to the songwriter who actually wrote the lyrics and/or melodies to the song.
