Lately, I've found myself listening to a lot of music from the mid-late 2000s.
Once in a while, I find myself in this nostalgic mood, reminiscing over a time in my life where I still didn't know what I wanted to do for a living because I was only 17 and I had fewer responsibilities than I do now. Sometimes I long for the days when my to-do list wasn't endless and I didn't have automatic payments, but what I will say that one of the only elements of 2008 I miss is the music. Sidebar: 2008 was an absolute shit year for me and I'd never relive it unless I had a do-over, but that's not what this piece is about.
Here are 15 songs from 2008 that will take you back:
1. "I Kissed A Girl" - Katy Perry
Who remembers having this song stuck in their head all of the time?
2. Pocketful of Sunshine - Natasha Bedingfield
Natasha Bedingfield's music always brought a smile to my face and knew how to spark inspiration.
3. Bubbly - Colbie Caillat
"Bubbly" always gave me warm, fuzzy feelings whenever I'd hear it on the radio. I think we've all experienced that "bubbly" feeling when we're first in love.
4. So What? - P!nk
I always want to dance and jam out when I hear any song by P!nk playing! Not to mention P!nk is an inspiring artist and person who taught us not to give a fuck about what anyone else thinks.
5. I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
One of the cutest love songs of all time! Jason Mraz's music is always feel-good.
6. Shake It - Metro Station
Hey, whatever happened to Metro Station?
7. Womanizer - Britney Spears
It's Britney, bitch! Need I say more?
8. When I Grow Up - The Pussycat Dolls
Every time I hear this song, I think of that movie "The House Bunny" with Anna Faris.
9. Low - Flo Rida ft. T-Pain
I guarantee this song is already stuck in your head.
10. Love Story - Taylor Swift
Ah yes, it's Taylor Swift before she decided she wanted to revenge on every guy that has wronged her.
11. Single Ladies- Beyonce'
The song that's been played at every bouquet toss at every wedding since 2008.
12. Sexy Can I - Ray J
Another song that's going to get stuck in your head on repeat.
13. Shut Up And Let Me Go - The Ting Tings
After this song and "That's Not My Name," we never heard another song by them and that makes me kind of sad because I like their music.
14. Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis
A beautiful and sad song.
15. Take A Bow - Rhianna
You can never go wrong with Rhianna when it comes to songs about love, broken hearts, being wronged or just wanting to party.
