1. Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You”. I loved it… until it was everywhere. I swear it played in every store, bar, and Uber ride for months.
2. You couldn’t escape “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X in 2019. It was like someone put it on a loop.
3. The Weeknd’s vibe is fire, but “Blinding Lights” is like the pizza that stayed in the oven for too long. I lowkey think it’s way too overplayed.
4. I’m sorry, but “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi ft. Daddy Yankee.
5. “Happier” by Marshmello ft. Bastille. It started as a tearjerker. Now it’s just… everywhere.
6. I can’t hear “Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh oh oh” anymore. You can win me over if you agree with me.
7. “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars. Don’t get me wrong, Bruno Mars is iconic. But this track was on every single playlist.
8. Every time a random guy at the bar screams “SO GOOD! SO GOOD!” I die inside a little. “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond is def overplayed.
9. I still vibe with “Royals” by Lorde, but it was played on loop for ages. It became less of an anthem and more of a corporate jingle.
10. “I Gotta Feeling” by Black Eyed Peas. Yeah, we get it, you’re going to party.
11. December 1st hits, and suddenly I’m in a retail store against my will thanks to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You”.
12. “Happy” by Pharrell Williams. I was happy…until I heard this song 2,846 times in a row.
13. “Someone Like You” by Adele. This song made me miss an ex I never had.
14. LOOK AT THIS GRAPH… I mean, photograph. At least Nickelback gave us this iconic meme.
15. “Roar” by Katy Perry. I don’t want to roar, I want to rest.
16. Imagine Dragons and “Radioactive”. This song was the soundtrack to every 2010s action movie trailer ever.
17. I’m not the bad guy, but I will walk out of the room if this song by Billie Eilish plays again.
18. I counted 14,872 plays before I lost my mind. “Counting Stars” by One Republic, you’re going to be the death of me one day.
19. Not my fault that “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” by Green Day played every day in my emo phase.
20. “Hey Soul Sister” by Train. Ukulele crimes should be a thing.
21. Emotionally, I’m still dodging invisible bullets thanks to “Titanium” by David Guetta ft. Sia.
22. “Take Me to Church” by Hozier. I’d rather stay home, thanks.
23. The official anthem of kids trying to sound deep in 2010. I’m looking at you Coldplay and “Viva La Vida”.
24. “Don’t Stop Believin’“ by Journey. Some songs should be left at the karaoke bar.
25. Every wedding DJ thinks “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO is a favor to humanity. It’s not.
26. “Wake Me Up” by Avicii. I wish I could sleep through this instead.
27. “Riptide” by Vance Joy raised an entire generation of indie kids, and we’re all traumatized.
28. A meme song that refuses to die. I need AWOLNATION’s “Sail“ to stop existing immediately.
29. “Cake by the Ocean” by DNCE. Still don’t know what this means. Still concerned.
30. “Tik Tok” by Kesha. TikTok (the app) did not exist, but the vibes were the same. Let’s let both die out already, please!
31. Too much sugar, not enough substance. “Sugar” by Maroon 5 is way too sweet for me now.
32. “Cheap Thrills” by Sia. This was fun for five minutes. Five.
33. Because I hated feeling that third-wheel energy, I pick “Senorita” by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.
34. “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye. And now I wish I never knew it.
35. “Girls Like You” by Maroon 5. Some girls might, but I do not. I’m known for being extra picky.
36. I might be fluent in Spanish now thanks to DJ Snake’s “Taki Taki”.
37. Not a single sports game has spared me from “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes. Needless to say, I’ve had enough.
38. I love Olivia Rodrigo, but if one more person screams “Good 4 U” at karaoke, I’m pressing charges.
39. “Levitating” by Dua Lipa. This song levitated straight into every playlist against my will.
40. This played in school, and nobody questioned the lyrics. Concerning how we used to love “Pumped Up Kicks” by Foster the People.
41. “WAP” by Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion. If I had a dollar for every time I heard this at a function, I could afford therapy.
42. “Faded” by Alan Walker. I’m definitely faded when this comes on. I’m hoping you also think it’s overplayed.
43. It’s always “Sweater Weather” by The Neighbourhood. ALWAYS.
44. “We Found Love” by Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris. I found something, but it wasn’t love, it was a headache.
45. “Time of Our Lives” by Pitbull & Ne-Yo. This song assumes I have money to blow. Bold of it to think that.
Genuinely bad songs that deserve to be buried:
What’s one song you hope you never have to hear again?
1. “Friday” by Rebecca Black. It’s not just overplayed; it’s the epitome of “what were we thinking?”
2. The fact that “Baby” by Justin Bieber became a cultural reset is proof that anything can go viral.
3. “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen. I know, I know, it was a hit. But the fact that this was on every radio station at one point? Cringe level infinity.
4. Look, I get it. “Barbie Girl” by Aqua is quirky. But it’s also a bad song in the way a neon pink outfit is just… too much.
5. “The Hampster Dance” by Hampton the Hamster. How did this become a thing?
6. “Macarena” by Los del Río. It was fun in 1996… until every middle school dance made you do it for hours. Enough already.
7. “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” by Soulja Boy. The dance was cool, but the song itself? An autotuned mess that still haunts my dreams.
8. Every wedding DJ’s worst nightmare is “Cotton Eye Joe” by Rednex. Not to be dramatic, but if I hear that banjo riff again, I’ll lose it.
9. What was “We Like to Party” by Vengaboys even about? I have no idea, but it’s a headache-inducing disaster of loud sounds and zero sense.
10. “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred is the musical equivalent of flexing in the mirror for way too long. It’s overdone, it’s cheesy, and it’s bad.
11. “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus. This is like if country music went wrong.
12. Please. Just please. No one needed “Who Let the Dogs Out” by Baha Men. It’s a howl of random noises and zero lyrical sense.
13. “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by The Proclaimers. I don’t know why, but this song is like the “I’ll be there for you” of bad songs. It’s just… why?
14. “Sexy and I Know It” by LMFAO is offensive to my ears. It’s all about flexing but in the worst possible way. Please don’t ever play this again.
15. “My Humps” by Black Eyed Peas. This is what happens when you try to be edgy but end up with a weird, offbeat chorus.
16. Don’t call me ever again “Banana Phone” by Raffi.
17. “I Like to Move It” by Reel 2 Real. I don’t, actually.
18. “It’s Everyday Bro” by Jake Paul. Criminal activity, if you ask me.
19. “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” by Eiffel 65. I was today years old when I found out that the lyrics don’t say “If I was green I would die”.
20. No thoughts, just suffering. And it’s all because of “Chicken Dance” by Whoever Created This Curse.
21. “We Built This City” by Starship. On what, bad lyrics and poor decisions?
22. Listening to “Sweatshirt” by Jacob Sartorius was like getting peer pressured into a relationship I didn’t sign up for.
23. The CIA probably uses “Crazy Frog” by Axel F to extract confessions.
24. “Harlem Shake” by Baauer is a fever dream we all participated in against our will.
25. Every time “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke played, a lawyer somewhere was preparing a lawsuit.
26. “#SELFIE” by The Chainsmokers. This was a song? This was allowed???
27. I don’t even know what Dame Tu Cosita means, and yet I feel personally attacked.
28. “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” by Silentó was banned from all family gatherings in my household.
29. Flo Rida, please stop speaking in metaphors. We all know what “Whistle” meant.
30. The way 2008 let “Don’t Trust Me” by 3OH!3 slide is crazy.
31. “Thong Song” by Sisqo. Why did this exist? Who asked for this?
32. I love her, but why does “Bikini Bottom” by Ice Spice sound like Squidward is about to drop a diss track?
33. “Boyfriend” by Big Time Rush. Love BTR, but this song sounds like a bot wrote it.
34. “Sexy and I Know It” by LMFAO. No, actually, you are NOT and apparently you don’t know it!
35. “I Just Had Sex” by The Lonely Island. Too much information, sir. Please agree with me.
36. 13-year-old me was vibing to “Fireflies” by Owl City. 25-year-old me needs noise-canceling headphones.
37. “Me Too” by Meghan Trainor. If I was you, I’d wanna sue me too.
38. Note to David Guetta and Akon. Not a single woman has ever enjoyed being called a Sexy B*tch.
39. “Timber” by Pitbull ft. Kesha. They really said, “Yeehaw but make it techno“.
40. The reason my ears now have a flight response is definitely “Everytime We Touch” by Cascada.
41. Why did “Sk8er Boi” by Avril Lavigne feel like getting hit with an actual skateboard?
42. “Let It Go” by Idina Menzel. Oh, how I wish everyone would.
43. Too many women’s names. Too much mambo. Too much chaos. “Mambo No. 5” by Lou Bega, your time has officially ended.
44. Anything by Shawn Mendes.
45. “ABCDEFU” by GAYLE was made in a corporate boardroom. I know it was. My dream is to find someone who hates it as much as I do.

Whether you want to be funny, unhinged, or drop a hot take that sparks immediate debate, RizzBio generates answers based on your personality.
So instead of panicking and typing “idk lol”, let RizzBio help you roast that one song that deserves eternal silence.
Love-hate relationship: Why do songs give us the ick after a while?
Have you ever heard a song that used to be your absolute fave, but now the thought of it makes you want to sprint in the other direction?
Yeah, that’s what we call a “personal banned track”. It’s wild how some songs go from summer anthem to emotional minefield.
Maybe it’s the one that got played 50 times at a party until you couldn’t stand it, or the track that’s forever linked to that cringe ex you can’t seem to erase from your mind.
Heck, maybe it’s a song that’s been so overhyped on TikTok that you just can’t listen to it anymore without getting secondhand embarrassment.
Whatever the reason, these songs are now officially off-limits, and the idea of hearing them again makes you want to leave the room. If your match still loves the song you banished from your life, well… it might be time for a “thank you, next!”.
