Everyone's got a few anthems that live rent-free in their minds for a period of time. But, at some point, no matter how obsessed you are – or were – with a song, it likely drops off your "recently played" list to be forgotten about for days, weeks, months, or even years.

But the best thing about anthems is that no matter how much time has passed since you heard it last, when you finally reunite with the melodic highs of your former favorite banger, it always slaps.

To celebrate the power of music, TAG24 rounded up some songs that previously dominated every waking minute of our lives in the best way possible.

  • Carry Out by Timbaland and Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake has teamed up with numerous icons in the music industry, and his collab with Timbaland called Carry Out was one of them. The 2009 bop not only solidified Timberlake's role as a multi-faceted artist, but also gave the masses a new jam to vibe out to every day of the week.

Whenever you need a midday pick-me-up or extra motivation to get up and after it in the AM, throw on this track, and watch as your anxiety slowly melts away.

  • The Middle by Jimmy Eat World
