Alicia Keys will perform the national anthem at Super Bowl XLVII, the Associated Press reports. Last year's anthem was sung by Kelly Clarkson, and past singers have included Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Billy Joel, Diana Ross, Neil Diamond, Cher, Barry Manilow and more. Christina Aguilera notably bungled the words during her 2011 performance by repeating a line with a slight change instead of the proper lyric.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
