Songs that are a decade old in 2026

Loading player...
There’s a moment that sneaks up on all of us, when you hear a song and think, “This still feels new.” And then you realise, it’s not. It’s ten years old, a full decade. Somewhere between loading playlists and saying “just one more song”, time quietly sprinted past us.

These are the tracks that make you question time itself, the ones that don’t feel old enough to be nostalgic, yet somehow are.
