Bon Jovi and one of their most popular songs will hopefully help water conservation efforts in parts of the U.K.

According to The Mirror, the U.K. is experiencing a lack of rain and a heat wave, which has led to some reservoirs reaching their lowest levels in decades. This has led to Yorkshire Water, a water supply and treatment utility in England, to recommend reducing time in the shower by one minute in the hopes people will only take four-minute showers.

So, how is Yorkshire Water helping people do this? They recommend people sing Bon Jovi's "Livin' On A Prayer," which clocks in at 4:09, while in the shower.

If Bon Jovi isn't your favorite, Yorkshire has you covered! They curated a playlist filled with four-minute songs that include tracks from Coldplay, The Kinks, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Oasis, Spice Girls and more. (Honestly, the playlist also serves as a fun listen, too, even if you're not in the shower.)
