This week on URDONE, we’re rewinding the mixtape and loading up our walkman to take a stroll down memory lane. Joined by our very special Friend of the Pod, Jess—a powerhouse musician, actor, and singer—we're revisiting the songs that shaped our childhoods and the soundtrack to our awkward teenage years.

From the classics our parents played on long car rides (yes, even the corny ones) to the CDs we burned and the MP3s we LimeWired, we're talking about the hits and the hidden gems. Expect shoutouts to TRL darlings, the reign of bubblegum pop, angsty emo anthems, R&B slow jams, and those early-2000s bangers that still hit harder than they should. Plus, we get Jess to play around of FUN or URDONE to Finish The Lyric.

Whether you were team Britney or Christina, had a burnt disc in your Discman, or knew all the words to Hot in Herre, this one’s for you. Cringe and cry with us as we reflect on the songs of our formative years—and what it says about us now.

Plug in your headphones and get ready to sing along (or laugh at our taste).
