  • The calling when we daydream about someone writing a song for us.

  • We usually imagine something like this.

  • Los Angeles Post Grunge Group, the calling touched our hearts in 2001 with their massive hit, wherever you will go.

  • A moving anthem about undying devotion to another person.

  • This song speaks to us now just as much as it did when we first heard it.

  • It's anchored by the resident and riveting vocals from frontman Alex band and we cannot forget that monumental chorus calling ran away with Our Heart with this song and we let them keep it number 19.

  • Lonely icon, loneliness can make you feel well alone, but there will always be people who understand like icon on Lonely, the R and B.

  • Singer sings passionately about missing his ex after a breakup and wanting her back over a sample of bobby vinton Mr Lonely Akon sounds like he's figuring out his new reality and learning to better appreciate his loved ones.

  • It might be sadder than other hits, the songs smooth production, relatable message and heartfelt vocal performance make it a timeless classic.

  • We feel a little less lonely whenever we hear this song so lonely.

  • Number 18 everywhere, Michelle branch in the early 2000's, this pop rock hit was literally everywhere and we were completely fine with that.

  • The singer songwriter Michelle branch was only 15 years old when she started writing this track, but it's a mature number for anyone who's ever been infatuated.

  • And speaking of infatuation, we were quick to fall in love with this song and branches fiery performance, particularly during the Chorus because you're everywhere, still makes us want to pick up a guitar to strum with all our might and sing to someone who's always on our mind when it comes to great songs from the two thousands.

  • This song is everything number 17.

  • Shake it Metro station before Taylor Swift was telling us to shake it off Metro Station was simply telling us to shake it on this synth rich pop punk song, vocalist mason musso sings about seeing someone on the dance floor and falling head over heels at first sight.

  • Number 16, Man eater nelly Furtado While time travel has yet to be invented?

  • Music has a way of taking us back.

  • Even letting us experience eras.

  • We didn't live through a perfect example is this song from Canadian singer nelly Furtado co produced by timberland Duh Man Eater is a two thousands banger.

  • That also sounds like it could have been made in the eighties with timberland signature booming production in Furtado's confident vocals.

  • This song proves that sometimes bigger really is better inspired by classic eighties artists like Madonna.

  • The arrhythmic and blondie man Eater starts at 100 keeps going.

  • It wasn't as big as promiscuous, but we still ate it up.

  • Number 15, Holler.

  • Spice Girls.

  • While the Spice Girls are mainly associated with the 19 nineties, they still managed to give us at least one great song in the two thousands before going on hiatus.

  • Holler off of their third album Forever is both an awesome song as well as a demonstration of the group growing their sound Moving from their bubbly beginnings into more seductive R&B vibes.

  • The girls showed their talents could not be confined to one style and assistance from famed producer Dark Child went a long way as well.

  • While the presence of Geri Halliwell, aka ginger spice is missed.

  • Holler.

  • Still makes a scream and appreciation for this amazing group.

  • Okay, yeah, number 14.

  • Gotta get through this Daniel Bedingfield, Did you think that you need access to a fancy studio to write a hit song?

  • Try telling that to Daniel Bedingfield, the singer songwriter, lit up the charts with his debut single about trying to make it through a tough situation.

  • I gotta get through this.

  • And he reportedly recorded it with just his computer and a microphone, a UK garage song.

  • Got to get through this has a stuttering beat, smooth synth chords and teased out vocals from Bedingfield.

  • Mhm.

  • It's one of those songs that sounds like nothing you've ever heard before, but it somehow feels familiar and comforting and before you ask, yes, he is Natasha Bedingfield brother.

  • Number 13 pieces of me, Ashlee Simpson speaking of famous siblings, there was a moment when it looked like Ashlee Simpson might get even bigger than older sister Jessica on a Monday I am waiting, Tuesday.

  • I'm fading.

  • This was based on the strength of her debut single, pieces of me which reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100.

  • A song about feeling love and trust for another Pieces of me showed us the many pieces of Simpson Okay, from the chilled out acoustic guitar at the beginning to the intense chorus.

  • This song makes us wish we were falling in love for the first time on a monday on a Tuesday, basically any day of the week is perfect for this song.

  • This is amazing.

  • Number 12 Unwell.

  • Matchbox 20 was rob thomas doing okay in the two thousands considering how he was singing about not wanting to be lonely no more and feeling unwell.

  • We're not sure.

  • But we do know that he could write one.

  • Catchy and touching song on his band.

  • Matchbox twenty's unwell thomas sings about not feeling quite right.

  • It's a song for anyone going through a tough time but who knows that a better day is on the horizon but I'm not crazy.

  • He reportedly decided to re release it.

  • It's hard to miss the metaphor of the song's title, which talks about someone's lovin addictive terms, but we don't listen to songs like this for subtlety.

  • We listen to them to soak up the youthful energy.

  • They give us and hero heroine, scratches all of our pop punk itches.

  • One, whaling chorus at a time.

  • Number 10.

  • Let it rock Kevin Rudolph featuring Lil Wayne.

  • Did you think that let it rock was nothing more than just a really good party song.

  • Face.

  • It's okay we did to it has a driving electronic beat and a little wayne feature after all.

  • But the message is closer to church than it is to the club.

  • In this single, Kevin Rudolf sings about all the hypocrisy he felt he was seeing and how he wants to remedy it.

  • Alluding to the bible, particularly the story of the Prodigal son.

  • Kevin.

  • K.

  • These words remains one of the most infectious songs of the two thousands and that's no hyperbole.

  • So is that okay, Number eight, crush mandy moore While she might not have had as many hits as Britney or Christina, Mandy moore still impressed as a teen pop idol.

  • You know everything that I'm afraid of and her crowning achievement is crush a sweet song about falling for someone and the butterflies in your stomach more is infatuated with the person and it seems she's trying to work up the nerve to tell him or anyone.

  • Her tender vocals and the song's earnest vibes make this a wholesome pop song but not an empty one.

  • It simply acknowledges the universal feeling of really, really liking someone and hoping they feel the same needless to say we have a crush on this song, number seven, someone to call my lover Janet Jackson after ruling the eighties and nineties Janet Jackson started the two thousands with a bang she dropped Doesn't really matter and all for you both of which were number one hot 100 hits.

  • I can't feel The Catalonian While someone to call my lover peaked at number three.

  • It's another chart topper in our eyes and as is typical for Jackson, she makes it look easy.

  • The track takes a simple concept, wanting someone to have and to hold and presents it perfectly.

  • The gorgeous production came from Jackson and frequent collaborators, jimmy jam and terry Lewis add to that.

  • The singer's wonderful vocal performance and the result is a song that makes us believe in Love and hope again.

  • A man performs an exhaustive dance routine in hopes of reuniting with a lost love who left him over his dance obsession.

  • We won't tell you how it ends, but we can say you will likely be moved a day goes by that we're not in the mood to hear the song, Number four, woman, wolf mother, wolf mother knows how to make a rock song in a way few other modern bands are capable of.

  • On Woman.

  • The Australian hard rock band talks about one of the most common song topics but manages to make it sound fresh through the Energy Alone.

  • Inspired mainly by vocalist Andrew Stockdale's affection for the city of Sydney.

  • Woman is a classic blast of rock, the guitar riffs, drum blasts and vocal runs are all fighting for dominance and tying for first place.

  • There's no time to slow down and stop the rocket and that's just the way we like it.

  • Number three american boy estelle featuring Kanye West, all sorts of talented folks contributed to writing american boy including Will I Am Kanye West and john legend.

  • But the success of this song is driven by its star british artist Estelle sings about a friendly guy from across the pond whom she hopes will show her the many wonders of his country.
