11 Throwback Songs From 2006
Contact Music

One of the most iconic years ever was 2006, especially in music industry. Let's be real, the best music was from this year. Some of the lyrics were a little scandalous, but not super blunt about things. It was just the right amount, you know what I mean? Either way you see it, any song from this year is bound to be a bop and can get any club jumpin'. So here's 11 songs that will throw you back to 2006 and should definitely be on your playlist. Spotify these songs ASAP!

1. "London Bridge" by Fergie

Honestly we were so lucky that she took a little time away from BEP and made this brilliant album

2. "Show Stopper" by Danity Kane

This song is literally my one of my favorite songs ever and will definitely have your friends be screaming the lyrics in your car.

3. "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield

Such a good song and intro to "The Hills" wouldn't have been the same without it. The song literally made the intro.

4. "SOS" by Rihanna

The beginning point of Rihanna's career and couldn't have started out with a better song!

5. "Me & U" by Cassie


Again, one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm pretty sure my younger self in 2006 did not realize what this song was about, but the beat is still bopping, so it doesn't matter.

6. "Hips Don't Lie" by Shakira

"I never really knew that she could dance like this." Have you seen "Shark-ira"? If you haven't, then click here. (You're welcome.)

7. "It's Goin' Down" by Yung Joc

You can not listen to this song and not do the little dance.

8. "Do It To It" by Cherish

This is honestly still a major jam. I remember loving this music video and wishing I was at their party!

9. "Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado feat. Timbaland

10. "Snap Yo Fingers" by Lil Jon feat. E-40 and Sean Paul Of The YoungBloodZ

"Snap ya fingers! Do ya step!"

11. "Beep" Or "Buttons" by The Pussycat Dolls

These songs are so iconic and couldn't choose so I picked both!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
