Which have been the winning songs from the Critics Choice Awards?

It is no secret to anyone that the Critics Choice Awards are one of the most important events during the film and television awards season. Precisely, this is usually a good thermometer that serves as the perfect prelude to the Oscars. Since 1996, the Film Broadcasting Critics Association has organized this ceremony, with more than 200 television, radio, and film critics from the United States and Canada.

Among so many categories to be awarded, the one for Best Song stands out. We all know that music is that indispensable guest in all kinds of productions because a good song can turn a scene or moment into something unforgettable. It should be noted that this award began to be awarded in its fourth edition (1999), since then it has been a fixed and fundamental category for the aspirations not only of artists but also of film producers themselves.
