"Give Peace a Chance" is a song written by John Lennon. Released as a single in July 1969 by the Plastic Ono Band on Apple Records, it is the first solo single issued by Lennon, released while he was still a member of the Beatles, and became an anthem of the American anti-war movement during the 1970s. It peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 on the British singles chart. Although written while the Vietnam War was ongoing, 'Give Peace A Chance' has since become a more general anti-war song thanks to its message of striving for harmony. The Key lyric of the song is: "All we are saying is give peace a chance." I have chosen this song because it is catchy, I like the rhythm and even more, the message it transmits is beautiful and easy to understand.
