“2012” is a song written by Jason Evigan and performed by Chester See about how the world would end.

Chester says this song was kind of rushed in order to get it out before December 21, 2012 (the original date the world was supposed to end, according to the Mayan calendar). This song was in reference to that tradition.

At the time of this song’s release, this was a highly discussed topic in the mainstream, with some even believing that the world would end on December 21, 2012.
