15 Throwback Songs That Need To Return
imagozone.com

Trimming this list down was crazy difficult, but I have a hunch that I'm the only one interested in 5,000 words on throwback jams. So, here we are. In no particular order, here are just 15 throwbacks that need to turn into comebacks.

You know you know all the words.

The Tide is High (Get The Feeling) - Atomic Kitten*

What 1990's baby doesn’t know all the words to the iconic opening track of The Lizzie McGuire Movie?!

*And yes, the Atomic Kitten version. Not Blondie. Sorry, Mom.


It’s Tricky - RUN-DMC

One word: iconic.


Promiscuous - Nelly Furtado feat. Timbaland

Am I throwin' you off? Nope. Didn’t think so.


Lovebug - Jonas Brothers

When the JoBros split, we were all speechless and hopeless, am I right, ladies?


Come Clean - Hilary Duff

This song is one of the top five greatest songs to sing along to in the shower, and I will fight anyone who thinks otherwise.


It Wasn’t Me- Shaggy feat. Rik Rok

Does anyone actually know what Shaggy is saying in the rap? Anyone at all??


Sk8er Boi - Avril Lavigne

An absolute masterpiece. Avril truly outdid herself.


My Own Worst Enemy- Lit

*please tell me why* I only hear this anthem of preteen angst a few times a year.


Wannabe - Spice Girls

Nothing I could say could possibly do this song justice. If you don’t know it, I’m truly sorry.


My Humps - Black Eyed Peas

The most beautiful, touching lyrics of our generation.


It’s Gonna Be Me - *NSYNC

Sadly, people only really care about this song at the end of April, when we all see the Timberlake meme emerge before and on May 1st. But it’s such a classic, it should be played 365 days of the year.


Lose Yourself - Eminem

The classic song of every preteen rap battle.


Stacy’s Mom - Fountains of Wayne

Inspiring millennials everywhere to name our daughters Stacy.


Beautiful Soul - Jesse McCartney

I want this song to be played at my funeral.


Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield

The greatest song of all eternity. Don't fight me on this.

And so, I'll leave you with this, the ultimate playlist.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
