It has been nearly a month since the Jonas Brothers reunited, and since then, “Sucker” has been on repeat for so many college students who were “tweens” during their prime.
This release has students reminiscing about their early-2000s childhoods, where we listened to most of our music on car rides to and from school or through neon-colored iPod shuffles.
In honor of the end of the JoBros’ decade-long hiatus, here are some bops to bring you back to your pre-teen years.
“Burnin’ Up” by the Jonas Brothers
How could the newly revived band of brothers not be included in a playlist made in their honor? “Burnin’ Up” marks the height of the group’s fame, and you can almost hear the high-pitched screams of your middle school friends sitting front row at a concert in homemade T-shirts reading “I heart Nick.”
“Too Little Too Late” by JoJo
Long before your first heartbreak, JoJo embodied the angst of first loves. This song was just re-released in 2018, and JoJo is as passionate as ever, making it the perfect track to add to your 2019 list of jams.
“Everytime We Touch” by Cascada
This song screams Friday night school dances. You and your pals would awkwardly stand on the school’s basketball court, bouncing up and down to the beat. Cascada brings an electric beat that makes you want to dance your heart out even in 2019.
“Sk8er Boi” by Avril Lavigne
“Sk8er Boi” was often the first track burned onto the CD mix tapes we all used to receive as birthday party favors. Whether or not you believe the Twitter-famous Avril Lavigne conspiracy theories, this song creates endless memories of that one childhood crush you never confessed your love to.
“Fireflies” by Owl City
What ever happened to Owl City? This song dominated the Radio Disney airwaves and immediately brings you back to Saturdays spent running errands in the backseat of your parents’ minivan.
“Dynamite” by Taio Cruz
“Just Dance,” anyone? “Dynamite” has all the high-energy vibes of dance battles with your besties. Turn up this track and relive the memories of all of the late-night sleepovers in your friends’ basements.
“Beautiful Girls” by Sean Kingston
This song had you belting out its lyrics in 2007 and will soon have you doing the same at the 2019 Spring Concert. “Beautiful Girls” is the perfect bop to remind you of your most carefree days, but it will also get you in the mood to jam out on April 10, when Sean Kingston will be performing right here on Hawk Hill.
