20 Songs From the 2000s That You'll Never Get Over
Music and food are two things that don't fail at bringing together all Latinos. If there's a plate of ceviche or tostones around, we all gather around the table. If there's music pumping through speakers, we all flock to dance, bop our heads, or even fist pump. There's no way a song like Enrique Iglesias's "Heroe" or any Aventura tune will come on the radio without everyone loudly singing every lyric. And though plenty of current songs have this effect on us all, there's no time like the 2000s. See our list of songs from that decade that you can't help but sing along to, then check out these TV shows that bring on all the nostalgia.
"Ave Maria" by David Bisbal
If you grew up watching Univision, this song is etched into your memory.
"Heroe" by Enrique Iglesias
This is Enrique Iglesias at his absolute best. No question about it!
"Te Vi Venir" by Sin Bandera
When Sin Bandera split, a couple hearts broke. “Te Vi Venir” is one of their classics, but definitely not their only one. Just think “Sirena,” “Que Lloro,” “Mientes Tan Bien,” and “Kilometros.”
"The Ketchup Song" by Las Ketchup
We still don’t know what this song is about, but the smile is instant when it comes on.
"A Puro Dolor" by Son by Four
No explanation needed. Feel all the feels!
"Obsesión" by Aventura
There's not one week that goes by that this song isn't played at a Latin party. (Also: “Dile Al Amor”)
"Si La Ves" by Franco De Vita
Before Taylor Swift came around with her breakup songs, Franco De Vita’s “Si La Ves” was the original “I’m doing GREAT. What breakup?” song.
"Un Buen Perdedor" by Franco De Vita
We know, Franco De Vita is on here twice, but he’s just that good.
"La Camisa Negra" by Juanes
Oh, it took all these years for this to finally not be stuck in your head? Sorry, it's back there now.
"Me Dedique a Perderte" by Alejandro Fernandez
The ultimate song to dedicate to the one who got away.
"Mientes" by Camila
So many Camila songs define what 2000s means for Latinos. To be honest, “Mientes” foreshadows the theory of ghosting quite well.
"Mi Niña Bonita" by Chino & Nacho
Let’s talk about love right here.
"Y Yo Sigo Aqui" by Paulina Rubio
La Chica Dorada always slaying — always!
"Fotografia" by Juanes + Nelly Furtado
How good was this? How good?!
"Espacio Sideral" by Jesse & Joy
A quirky and amazing love song.
"Stand by Me" by Prince Royce
And with this song we were introduced to Prince Royce.
"No Tengo Suerte en el Amor" by Yoskar Sarante
It does not get more bachata than this.
"Por Amarte Asi" by Cristian Castro
Classic. Always.
"La Tortura" by Shakira and Alejandro Sanz
Everything in this video is goals.
"Tu Peor Error" by La Quinta Estacion
One of the best bands the 2000s gave us.
