Middle school is that weird liminal passage between childhood and becoming an adolescent where everything starts changing--including your taste in music. I was in middle school between 2013 and 2016, and I liked everything from pop to alternative rock (yes, I am guilty of going through the "emo phase" of music). With the help of the radio, YouTube, and Spotify, I was listening to my favorite Fall Out Boy or Shawn Mendes songs 24/7.

Can you remember some of your favorite songs to hear from 2015? I bet at least one of them is on this list.

1. "Hello" — Adele

I know you've sang along with this song on at least one occasion, because who didn't? It made everyone stop and sing with all of their soul whenever it was played.

2. "Want to Want Me" — Jason Derulo

Start dancing and singing at the top of your lungs with me, because that's exactly what I start doing when I hear this song.

3. "Love Yourself" — Justin Bieber

I still love the chill vibes of this song. I can't help but sing along.

4. "Drag Me Down" — One Direction

Who could forget One Direction? Sadly, 2015 was the year that Zayn left the group, but that didn't stop the rest of the members from releasing catchy songs like this one.

5. "Uma Thurman" — Fall Out Boy

This one's for all of my middle school classmates who introduced me to Fall Out Boy because it was the "trend"--but their music just doesn't get old.

6. "Stressed Out" — twenty one pilots

This song really brought me back. Because of their relatable lyrics paired with a captivating drum beat, twenty one pilots was a duo that became really popular among us middle schoolers.

7. "Crazy Kids ft. will.i.am" — Ke$ha

This song came out in 2013, but it's safe to say that it remained popular throughout middle school for some of my friends and I.

8. "Counting Stars" — One Republic

This is another song that came out in 2013, but I'm pretty sure they still played it on the radio until 2016--it was definitely one of the songs I looked forward to hearing on the radio, and I often had this song on repeat while doing my homework.

9. "Thinking Out Loud" — Ed Sheeran

A timeless love song that has remained insanely popular since it came out. It's still perfect for a couple's first dance at weddings.

10. "Uptown Funk" — Bruno Mars

You're lying if you say you didn't immediately start bobbing your head, dancing, and singing along whenever this song started playing. It's one of the best party songs to ever exist.

11. "See You Again" — Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth

Does anyone else start feeling pain when this song starts to play? Because same.

*This song was commissioned as a tribute to the late actor Paul Walker. Rest in peace.

13. "Sugar" — Maroon 5

I can't even find the words to express how much I love this song. It gives me INSANELY good vibes, not just because of the song itself, but all the joy Maroon 5 was able to give to every wedding they performed at for their music video.

Yet another 2014 release, but I'm just going to "shut up and dance" along to this song too.

20. "Stitches" — Shawn Mendes

This song was just--*chef's kiss*. Listening to it now reminds me of my gym classes; my gym teacher always put on the radio during our volleyball games, and this song was played so often. Not that I'm complaining, though.

25. "I NEED U" — BTS

Another one for my K-Pop fans! This was one of the first BTS songs I ever listened to, and it was the one of the songs that led to BTS's ever-growing popularity. The amount of times my middle school friends and I started dancing to the choreography of this song during our recess periods is hard to count.

Panic! at the Disco was another band popular amongst my middle school classmates, and Brendon Urie's vocals alone explain why.

30. "Locked Away" - R. City ft. Adam Levine

Last but not least, this song is a flawless showcase of both R. City's and Adam Levine's vocals. I could listen to it on repeat for hours.
