10 Throwback Jams You Forgot Existed, But Will Instantly Ear-Worm Back Into Your Brain

In This Article:

Who let 6ix9ine and Lil Baby take over our radios and where did the real music go? Regardless of what you're listening to now, it's undeniably so that music in the 2000s/early 2010s was poppin'. But I think sometimes we focus too much on old party songs and forget the other bops that were around. 3OH!3, Jesse McCartney, The Black Eyed Peas, and so many others gave us a plethora of tunes that we neglect to remember a decade later.

Here are 10 songs from yesteryear that you maybe wouldn't hear on your average throwback playlist.

1. "Impossible" by Shontelle

I can't be the only one who belted this on low-quality YouTube karaoke. I lived for the drama in this song and could've very easily been found humming this passionately in my fifth-grade lunch line.

2. "Carry On" by fun.

My ability to move on from my middle school drama is owed to this song.

3. "Boom Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas

Busting out Fergie's solo in this was like a religious experience.

4. "Feel So Close" by Calvin Harris

This song may have been a bit overplayed on the radio, but man oh man, it was a bop.

5. "Gives You Hell" by All-American Rejects

Nothing like the dirty looks your mom would shoot you while this played in the car.

6. "Don't Trust Me" by 3OH!3

SHUSH, GIRL, SHUT YA LIPS. DO THE HELEN KELLER AND TALK WITH YOUR HIPS.

7. "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks

This song had my 9-year-old self armoring up for a boyfriend I had yet to find.

8. "She Wolf" by Shakira

Not one of Shakira's bigger hits, but definitely worth mentioning.

9. "If U Seek Amy" by Britney Spears

Perhaps I didn't understand the real meaning of this song when it was playing on the radio, but that sure didn't stop me from belting it in the shower.

10. "How Do You Sleep" by Jesse McCartney ft. Ludacris

No comments needed. A CLASSIC.

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.

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.
