The 2000s were such a great time for music. Since I just turned 18 about two months ago, here are 18 iconic songs that remind me of my childhood.
1. "1985" by Bowling For Soup
When I first heard this song, I fell in love with it and jammed out to it. This is one of the many pop-punk songs that defined the 2000s.
2. "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield
I love how catchy yet soothing this song is. This chill bohemian vibe defines another vibe of this era.
3. "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani
Before Gwen Stefani got married to Blake Shelton, she made this iconic song. This classic song can get a whole room dancing. Anyone who was a kid or teen probably knows about this song.
4. "Slim Shady" by Eminem
What is the 2000s without the man himself, Eminem? Everyone knows Eminem was better back in the day.
5. "Waiting For Tonight" by Jennifer Lopez
Before she became J-Lo, she was known as Jenni from the block! One of her famous songs is this song. Don't wait for tonight to listen to this song.
6. "Yeah!" by Usher
Yeah, yeah, this song is popular and so catchy. It is a song you used to always hear at parties.
7. "Hey Ya!" by Outcast
Believe it or not, I remember this song from field day in Kindergarten; so of course, this song brings back the fun and nostalgia.
8. "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence
Everyone remembers this emotional punk rock song. I love the lyrics and know all of them by heart.
9. "In Da Club" by 50 Cent
This song was always a party hit and it still is to this day.
10. "Misery Business" by Paramore
As one of the best rock bands of the 2000s, this song always brightens my day. I feel edgy and like a badass at the same time.
11. "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's
I remember hearing this song and it having a relaxed vibe to it. This reminds me of how simple and good music can be.
12. "Little Talks" by Of Monsters And Men
This may have come out six years ago, but it is still such a great song! I always smile and sing along.
13. "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga
This is throwing it back to the days when Lady Gaga still dressed in her iconic eccentric style. I love this song and most of her songs from this era.
14. "Halo" by Beyonce
After she broke away from Destiny's Child, Beyonce sang this anthem which is majestic and still one of her bests.
15. "That's Not My Name" by The Ting Tings
Whether your name is Stacy, Mary-Jo-Lisa, Jane, or whatever your name is, we can all agree this song was a nice hit.
16. "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift
Before the old Taylor Swift died, she sang this iconic, relatable song. I love the music video and miss her country music.
17. "Just Give Me A Reason" by P!nk ft. Nate Ruess
I love how sweet yet tragic this song is and I'm in love with the vocals between them. It's such a beautiful song.
18. "Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry
Back in the day when she was new in the scene and wore colorful wigs, Katy Perry produced some nice music.
