Top 10 Throwback Songs That Are Perfect For Working Out

Ever just want to jam out to old music while you workout? Wait - you sometimes don't want to jam to '09 hits? WHO ARE YOU?

If you are seeking the perfect workout playlist that pushes you to go hard and consists solely of TBT music, look no further.

10. Stronger - Kanye West

'Ye is the king of pump up music and this classic is no exception! What other song is more fitting with a name like Stronger?


9. Lose Yourself -Eminem

Don't lie. You know at least half of the lyrics. (We won't judge you for mouthing the words.)

8. Swing - Savage & Soulja Boy Tell 'Em

Throwback to middle school? This oldie is ALWAYS a goodie -- and has a great tempo for working out.


7. Pump It - Black Eyed Peas

I remember hearing this baby when I was a baby. Pump it (that dumbbell that is).


6. United State of Pop 2009 (Blame It On The Pop) - DJ Earworm

WHOA. Mashup of lots of throwbacks? YES PLEASE. This dance-y tempo is great for cardio.

5. Lamborghini Angels - Lupe Fiasco

Ok, so not much of a throwback and it's less well known, but this intense track is definitely on my workout playlist.

4. Mercy - Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T, 2 Chainz

Maybe it's the incomprehensible background lyrics, or maybe it's the sick beats and the constant repetition of the word "swerve," but all I know is my muscles are begging for mercy when I work out to this song.

3. Go Go Gadget Flow - Lupe Fiasco

All hail Lupe and his ability to create amazing workout music. Praise. The fast tempo and lyrics got me go go going on that elliptical.

2. Outta Your Mind ft. LMFAO - Lil' Jon

You can't half-a** your workout to this song. Not allowed. Lil' Jon is yelling at you to get outta your mind and lose it.

1. Bring 'Em Out - Hawk Nelson

This song is the one that beats them all. With 184 BPM held by a crazy drum line, you can't help but give it your all. Do it for Drake Bell *6th grade swoon*.

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.
