Meh, this needs no introduction- you know how it is๐
2010 - Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars
I don't know I just remember this song being around evetywhere- and I remember my childhood best friend used to dream of being a famous singer one day, and this is one of the songs she'd always sing I don't know why๐
2011 - Price Tag - Jessie J
I remember I heard this song in the wool market when we were out and I really liked it๐
And it became my favourite song๐
That's it๐
2012 - Diamonds - Rhianna
Another song which was everywhere๐
And I was in Year 5 when this came out, and this just gives me such Year 5 vibes, like I hear it and feel like I'm 10-years-old again๐Like winter time in Year 5 when it's cold and I have my little coat on, or when we're all sat in that classroom listening to the teacher blabber on about whatever at the front๐Or when we scoot to the playground playing with hoops and shit๐
Just takes me back๐
2013 - Wake Me Up - Avicii
Firstly, RIP Avicii.
Secondly, I remember when my dad showed me this song- and I just liked it.
It was like:
"Dad, why are they all mean to them?"
"Because everyone else in the town is boring and they're not, so they don't like them"
๐๐๐
2014 - Fancy - Iggy Azalea
I know this wasn't the best song, but hear me out๐
Why it's made the list because in my class at school in Year 6 this is what EVERYONE was basically singing๐
I lowkey cringe now I've re-listened to it but back then we all thought that this was the shit๐๐
Remember we were just 11๐
2015 - Stitches - Shawn Mendes
This is how I first discovered Shawn Mendes and I was ALL OVER this song๐๐
I'd listen to it everyday, sing-along, if it came on in the car I'd turn up the volume, I was listening to live versions, covers ever single version๐I even made a dance video with one of my friends back then- but we deleted it, because, CRINGEEEEEEEEEEEE๐๐๐๐๐
When he flies through the wall though๐๐
And I found it really funny- the video because he's just flying around everywhere๐I remember talking about with one of my friends who I used to go to school with and she said she saw her sister watching it and said:
"What are you doing? Watching a random guy flying about the place everywhere๐
2016 - We Don't Talk Anymore - Charlie Puth
Now I loved Charlie Puth after I heard one call away, and I remember being on the Ipad one summer night in 2016, and seeing this, and clicking on it (Gen Z memories lol๐) and it just instantly becoming my favourite song๐
And thinking somehow in a few years, I'd have a relationship like Charlie does in his songs but now- that's the last thing I want๐๐๐
2017 - Thumbs - Sabrina Carpenter
I kept it no secret that I was a HUGE fan of Sabrina Carpenter because of Girl Meets World๐
And I remember first hearing it I was like:
"i LiKe It BeCaUsE iT's NoT a LoVe SoNg It HaS oThEr MeAnInG"๐๐
Get my 14-year-old cringe self tryna be deep๐๐๐
And I used to listen to this on the way home from school and twiddle my thumbs feeling like I'm the video๐๐
Cringe times๐๐๐พ๐๐พ
2018 - 2002 - Anne Marie
2018 was the year I got bluetooth headphones๐๐
And I remember the summer of 2018 seeing this like:
"2002? That's the year I was born!" and I clicked and listened solely for that reason, and I know the song was aimed at people who were kids in 2002, but it still felt like it was for me because I was born in 2002๐๐
I remember listening to this song whilst I was working, with all my coloured pens out making pretty notes, then getting up and it still being on whilst I go to make the tea and dancing in the kitchen๐๐
2019 - Senorita - Shawn and Camila
Some of you are probably facepalming like:
"Uhhhhhhh I knew it!"
But this summer was more or less the best summer of my life because it was the longest and I had no worries about nothing, and the summer nights sat with my window open, either talking to my best friend, talking with someone on G@G or just writing- this was on in the background๐
So this will always scream "Summer 2019" to me๐
Any Last Words?
Well, I hope you're liking these MyTakes๐
Thank you for reading :) <3
