Mostly every millennial I know has a soft spot for '90s and '00s music. Here are 12 songs from that era, not in any particular order, to help keep everyone motivated to get through the end of the semester, school year, or even just the workday!
1. The Middle — Jimmy Eat World (2001)
This song reminds me that we're just in the midst of things and one day we will get where we are going but for now just enjoy the ride, be yourself and don't care about what anyone else thinks!
2. The Distance — Cake (1996)
While this song seems to be about a man who chooses his racing career over the woman in his life, it is a song that gets you motivated.
3. Fly — Sugar Ray (1997)
How can you not feel motivated after singing the words, "I just want to fly!"
4. You Get What You Give — New Radicals (1998)
5. It’s My Life — Bon Jovi (2000)
6. I Believe I Can Fly — R-Kelly (1997)
The title of the song says it all!
7. I’m Like A Bird — Nelly Furtado (2000)
This song can be seen as a metaphor for one who wants to fly away from anything such as an old school or home.
8. Lose Yourself — Eminem (2002)
This song tells us to take that once in a lifetime shot!
9. Waiting on the World to Change — John Mayer (2006)
10. Unwritten — Natasha Bedingfield (2004)
This song reminds us that what happens to us is yet to be determined, and we decide what happens to us.
12. I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack (2000)
If this song doesn't inspire you to get up and make your life worth living I don't know what will!
