Record of the year is one of the most superstar-packed categories at Sunday’s (Feb. 4) 2024 Grammy Awards — but who do you think should win?
We have five previous Grammy winners in the mix: 12-time winner Taylor Swift with “Anti-Hero”; seven-time winner Billie Eilish with her Barbie soundtrack contribution “What Was I Made For?”; five-time champ Jon Batiste with “Worship”; three-time winner Olivia Rodrigo with “Vampire”; and one-time winner SZA with “Kill Bill” (SZA took home best pop duo/group performance with Doja Cat in 2022 for “Kiss Me More” and leads all nominees this year with nine nods).
Then we have three potential first-time winners: boygenius (the trio of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus) with “Not Strong Enough”; Miley Cyrus with “Flowers”; and Victoria Monét with “On My Mama.”

Last year’s winner in the category was Lizzo’s “About Damn Time,” which competed in a field of 10 nominees and topped some stiff competition, including Harry Styles’ “As It Was,” Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul” and Adele’s “Easy On Me.”
