What is an anthem?

a true anthem is a track that doesn't set out solely to be an "anthem", it happens on its own merit...

for example...
jan johnston - flesh

o canada mighty glorious and free true patriot love with all of our long sleeves, o canada we see the lights and see them bright for truth and liberty o canada something something o canada!

Every defenition I try to think of doesnt make sense.

Best example:

Filo & Peri - The Anthem Song

If you look up the word 'anthem' in the dictionary, it would have Ralphie B - Massive as an example.

Why? It's easily one of the best tracks out there and when it was released it was a true bomb. It is an anthem.
