One Direction reunion tour?
If you’ve been feeling like good music is hard to come by these days, you’re not alone. We’ve been feeling nostalgic for pop songs of years past. But fear not; we’ve found twelve timeless throwback pop songs that don’t really ever get old.
So the next time you’re unsure about what to listen to, or when you just need an instant trip back to the past, sit back, relax, and listen to one of these classic hits.
“Dirty Little Secret” by The All-American Rejects. Although this song came out in 2009, we still listen to it a little more often than we would like to admit. Also, don’t forget that this song played in “John Tucker Must Die”, which is still an amazing movie.
As an Aries, you’re naturally energetic and love having fun. Being happy is super important for you, so you prefer throwback pop songs that are upbeat and cheerful. You’re incredibly optimistic about basically everything, and your happiness definitely rubs off on those around you. Basically, don’t ever stop being the positive person you are (however, with mental health concerned, it’s still okay to not be okay).
“The Great Escape” by Gwen Stefani. People who fall under the sign of Taurus naturally crave adventure and, as it relates to throwback pop songs, great escapes. But beware when listening to this song, because it will get stuck in your head for at least a full day.
You’re very ambitious, so like Gwen Stefani in this music video, you would most likely attempt a huge plan to escape from jail. But on a smaller scale, you love setting goals and crossing items off your to-do list. Once you set your mind on something, literally nothing can get in your way.
“S.O.S” by Rihanna. Rihanna can’t make a bad song, but we bet you haven’t listened to her early music in a while. Geminis love having fun and laughing with friends. You’re usually the one making jokes, and you can find humor in almost all aspects of life.
Your friends love you because you always cheer them up. You’re great at giving advice and knowing exactly what to say at the right time. You love to express your true colors, and you hate when people aren’t honest and straightforward with you. So if you’re feeling the winter blues coming on, throw on this tune and start dancing.
“Too Little Too Late” by JoJo. This song came out in 2006, which was over a decade ago. We still don’t quite know where the time went. As a Cancer, you tend to be very sentimental. You cherish memories from throughout your whole life, and you love engaging emotionally with other people.
You’re super good at reading people, which has always been a special skill of yours. Your close friends admire your sensitivity and emotional availability. And what better way to express yourself than through throwback pop songs?
“Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus. Leos love being social and going to parties, and this song will definitely get the party going. You’re incredibly confident in your own skin, and this can sometimes intimidate other people around you. But after people see how fun you are, they’ll get to know the real you.
You love meeting new people and seeing new places, and you always have your closest group of friends right by your side. You inspire others to live life to the fullest, and there’s never a dull moment when you’re around.
“I Want It That Way” by Backstreet Boys. An oldie but a goodie. Virgos have a soft spot for the past, and this song is sure to bring back some fun memories of times with friends. As a Virgo, you tend to prefer not always being the center of attention, but every once in a while, you enjoy having all eyes on you.
What better way to impress people than showing them you remember each and every word of this timeless song? You have the ability to pick up on other people’s emotions, and you’re always down to have a good time. So next time you’re with friends, don’t hesitate to be the DJ for the night and turn on the playlist of throwback pop songs.
“Yeah!” by Usher ft. Lil Jon and Ludacris. As a Libra, you love going out and meeting new people. You have the gift of being able to hold conversations with anyone about anything, so you’re never worried when your friends cancel and you head to the party alone.
You always have a full social schedule, but you still make time to get your work done. You’re incredibly devoted to what you believe in, and your list of goals never stops growing. So channel your inner Usher and say yeah!
“Why Not” by Hilary Duff. As a Scorpio, you have that same energy as Hilary Duff in her throwback pop songs. You’re up for anything, and you still have the endless curiosity and desire for adventure as you did in your youth.
You’re extremely persuasive, so it’s easy for you to convince your friends to join you on whatever you have planned next. You love to travel, even if it’s just a simple weekend getaway with a few friends. You’re super positive and outgoing, and you don’t let anyone or anything get in your way.
“Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin’)” by T-Pain. As a Sagittarius, you’re very open-minded and have a unique outlook on life. You like to challenge yourself and go against social norms (you’d have no problem approaching a guy at a bar and buying him a drink).
You crave change in your life, but you’re proactive enough that you never let things get boring. You’re always bubbly and excited about life, and people can immediately pick up on your optimism even when first meeting you.
“No One” by Alicia Keys. This song one of the sadder throwback pop songs, but it’s still great. Capricorns are known for being caring and kind, and you’re always there for your friends and family when they need you.
You’re a true loyal friend, and when people talk to you, you’re genuinely interested in what they have to say. You’re determined to push yourself to be the best possible version of you, and your ambition has always been one of your strongest traits.
“What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction. We’re still hoping that they’ll do a reunion tour, but until that day comes, we’ll be listening to their first album on repeat. As an Aquarius, you’re imaginative and affectionate, and you love upbeat fun conversations with friends.
You’re extremely witty and people can always count on you to make them laugh, no matter what the circumstance is. You have an undying curiosity to see the world, and through travel, you can gain a better understanding of yourself.
“Dilemma” by Nelly & Kelly Rowland. Pisces are caring and compassionate. You love having close emotional bonds with a few people, rather than only somewhat knowing everyone. You have certain memories with loved ones that you always look back on and laugh. You’ve always loved music as a healing power, and sharing the love of music with others is very important to you. You’re always there for your friends, and they know they can count on you whenever they need anything.
Although these are just a handful of the many amazing throwback pop songs, we hope to have reminded you that music is always an easy way to cheer yourself up, have fun, and reminisce on memories that might otherwise be forgotten.
