These 15 Songs Are Turning 10 In 2019

In This Article:

2009 provided the world with some of the greatest songs of the early 2000s. These 15 songs have a way of taking me back to middle school and reminding me of the ~good old days~. I am definitely missing a bunch of the songs that made 2009 such an iconic year. But knowing these songs are already a decade old makes me feel so old and irrelevant.

1. One Time -Justin Bieber

I'm pretty sure I spent all of 2009 convincing myself I was going to marry Justin Bieber. And then all of 2010. And 2011.

2. Boom Boom Pow -Black Eyed Peas

I have no clue how this song was as popular as it was, but I remember the summer of 2009 and having this song playing constantly.

3. Empire State Of Mind -Jay Z and Alicia Keys

Bonus points for anyone in the New York/New Jersey area who remembers when Z100 made a Yankees parody of this song and played it constantly when they were in the World Series.

4. Party in the USA -Miley Cyrus

This song still goes hard. 2009 also brought us "The Climb" so its safe to say 2009 was Miley's year.

5. Fireflies -Owl City

6. Right Round -Flo Rida

I have very vivid middle school dance memories right now

7. Fire Burning -Sean Kingston

I don't really know where Sean Kingston is now, but I am thankful he gave us this song

8. Best I Ever Had -Drake

I'm pretty sure that this was the first Drake song I had ever heard, besides that one time he rapped on Degrassi and it has only gotten better since then. ILY Drake!

9. 21 Guns -Green Day

10. Good Girls Go Bad -Cobra Starship ft. Leighton Meester

First of all, this music video is probably why I have an obsession with speakeasies. Second of all, I had such a huge Cobra Starship phase and this is what started it. All in all, this song is iconic. Happy 10th birthday!!

11. Down -Jay Sean ft. Lil Wayne

12. Bad Romance -Lady Gaga

I was afraid of Lady Gaga back in the day, but luckily I grew up and now recognize her talent!

13. Run This Town -Jay Z ft. Rihanna

14. Day 'N' Night -Kid Cudi

15. Love Drunk -Boys Like Girls

This song still rocks. Also Ashley Tisdale is in the music video, which is very early 2000s.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
