Now, disclaimer: this might seem like a crazy hodgepodge of random music, but this is simply a list of songs that, when I was recently going through some old playlists, I genuinely had forgotten about. These songs got me through many school bus rides, lunch periods, and sleepovers in middle school. And now that I recovered them again, I can't stop listening! Hopefully they can help rekindle the love of some favorites of yours too!
1. "Love Like Woe" - The Ready Set
This song will always be a bop. There's no denying it.
2. "Bleeding Love" - Leona Lewis
This is one of those songs you used to listen to when you were feeling sorry for yourself for all the problems you had in middle school that, looking back, weren't really that big of a deal.
3. "Cooler Than Me" - Mike Posner
This was such a good slam song back when it came out. One of those songs you sang to yourself when people at school were being mean to you and you needed a way to vent about it.
4. "Donald Trump" - Mac Miller
Who doesn't love some Mac Miller? This song can pretty much get anyone bopping their head.
5. "FourFiveSeconds" - Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney
Okay I honestly had totally forgotten about this one until I rediscovered it a few weeks ago. It was so overplayed on the radio when it first came out but it's super good now that everyone forgot about it.
6. "Gold Digger" - Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx
I forgot about this one too, until I was watching Glee on Netflix one day and they played it. Now I can't get it out of my head.
7. "All Night Longer" - Sammy Adams
Maybe I'm the only one who remembers this one, but check it out anyway. It's lit.
8. "Pieces of Me" - Ashlee Simpson
This is another one of those sad girl middle school songs. I think I used to listen to this one on the bus ride home a lot.
9. "London Bridge" - Fergie
Okay I go HARD to this song. If you forgot about it, you're welcome.
10. "I Miss You" - Blink-182
Here's one for my fellow 90's babies. Blink-182 is so good, and once you rediscover one of their songs, you'll rediscover them all and go on a Blink-182 binge. (I know this from personal experience.)
11. "Semi-Charmed Life" - Third Eye Blind
This is one of those feel-good summertime or anytime songs from the 90s that just takes you back to a better time.
12. "Over My Head (Cable Car)" - The Fray
Everyone probably knows this one, but just in case you needed a reminder...The Fray is awesome.
13. "Just a Dream" - Nelly
This song might not have been as big as I remember it being, but it was definitely one of my favorites in my early high school years.
14. "Airplanes" - B.o.B feat. Hayley Williams
I distinctly remember hearing this song on the radio pretty much every hour when I used to listen to it during my first summer job. And that's how I know it's good, because I was never even annoyed by it. Hayley Williams has that effect on people.
15. "Bounce Back" - Big Sean
This is a classic party song that I don't think will ever get old. I think Big Sean in general will never get old.
