Song Lyrics Update

Music today is thriving with all of the new and amazing talents that have emerged, but every once in a while, I like to take a break from The Weeknd and Justin Bieber to throw it back.

A lot of the time, we forget about the songs we grew up on, and I'm going to revisit my favorite throwback songs from my generation.

1. "Sexy Can I" - Ray J (feat. Yung Berg)

2. "Obsessed" - Mariah Carey

3. "Replay" - Iyaz

4. "In My Head" - Jason Derulo

5. "Down On Me" - Jeremih (feat. 50 Cent)

6. "Good Girls Go Bad" - Cobra Starship (feat. Leighton Meester)

7. "Buttons" - Pussycat Dolls

8. "Best Love Song" - T-Pain (feat. Chris Brown)

9. "Smack That" - Akon (feat. Eminem)

10. "No Scrubs" - TLC

11. "No Diggity" - Blackstreet (feat. Dr. Dre and Queen Pen)

I have no idea if anyone my age would even recognize the original song and not the Pitch Perfect version, but I know every word.

12. "Fallin'" - Alicia Keys

13. "Low" - Flo Rida (feat. T-Pain)

14. "Airplanes" - B.o.B (feat. Hayley Williams)

15. "Cooler Than Me" - Mike Posner

16. "Cyclone" - Baby Bash (feat. T-Pain)

17. "Lighters" - Bad Meets Evil (feat. Bruno Mars)

18. "Coming Home" - Diddy (feat. Dirty Money and Skylar Grey)

19. "Suga Suga" - Baby Bash (feat. Frankie J)

20. "Tipsy" - J-Kwon

21. "Beautiful Soul" - Jesse McCartney

22. "Hey There Delilah" - Plain White T's

23. "When I Grow Up" - Pussycat Dolls

Everyone who had Just Dance! for the Wii, could probably still do the dance if they really tried.

24. "With You" - Chris Brown

25. "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" - Soulja Boy

Most people's middle school self could vibe to this song even today.

26. "Yeah" - Usher (feat. Lil Jon and Ludacris)

27. "Beautiful Girls" - Sean Kingston

Shame on you if you can't sing this whole song.

28. "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love" - Usher (feat. Pitbull)

29. "MMMBop" - Hanson

This song would normally be a little before me, but because my mom had this CD when I was a kid, this was my jam.

30. "Telephone" - Lady Gaga

31. "Bottoms Up" - Trey Songz (feat. Nicki Minaj)

32. "Down" - Jay Sean

This was the jam in 2009, my friend.

33. "Umbrella" - Rihanna

34. "My Humps" - Black Eyed Peas

35. "No Air" - Jordin Sparks (feat. Chris Brown)

36. "Irreplaceable" - Beyonce

This will always be a jam.

37. "Let Me Love You" - Mario

One of the greatest throwbacks in existence. Just saying. Some might say it's a dime plus 99 ;)

On the note of that funny pun I just threw in there, I'm going to end the list. These are just some of my personal favorites and I'm sure not everyone will like the ones I picked, but that's okay. If you have a long car ride coming up or just need something to listen to while getting ready for the day, these are good for both those, and many other things! If you would like to listen to all of these, I have made a Spotify playlist and I'll put the link down below!

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.
