There’s really nothing better than a throwback playlist to remind you of all the good (and usually rather cringey) times you used to have. Here are some songs to consider adding back to your playlist. They’re perfect for your Spring Break adventures, road trips, or just for hanging out with your best friends!

1. Wonderwall by Oasis (1995)

*Insert every Wonderwall meme that exists*

2. Wannabe by Spice Girls (1996)

This whole song is us whenever our SO asks, “Babe what’s wrong?”

3. Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls (1998)

Probably, like, one of the saddest songs we’ve ever heard, tbh. (It’s fine, I’m fine.)

4. Sk8ter Boi by Avril Lavigne (2002)

Hey, it’s like we’re back in second grade all over again!

5. Hey Ya by Outkast (2003)

What’s cooler than being cool? ICE COLD.

6. Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard (2003)

Let’s be real, we all wanted to live on ocean avenue as kids.

7. Stacy’s Mom by Fountain of Wayne (2003)

This is such a strange song if you think about it…but it’s still a classic!

8. Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney (2004)

We still cry about/over/to this song, not going to lie.

9. Mr. Brightside by The Killers (2004)

If you still don’t go hard to this song, are you even a millennial? 

10. Dance, Dance by Fall Out Boy (2005)

Flashback to every middle school dance ever.

11. Umbrella by Rihanna (2007)

Back when RihRih was just a little babe.

12. Gives You Hell by The All-American Rejects (2008)

We all felt like bad a**es as our little 11-year-old selves jammed in the cars with our besties.

13. Single Ladies by Beyonce (2008)

Come on we know you know the dance!

14. Love Song by Sara Bareilles (2009)

Definitely didn’t fantasize singing this to our crush a few times…or every night before bed.

15. Cough Syrup by Young the Giant (2011)

This song still rocks, tbh.
