I know Ryan Tedder still eats off this song to this day.

I once bumped into Ryan Tedder in LA and thought he was Derek Hough. I proceeded to tell him I loved him on Dancing with the Stars 💀

Guess he’s gotten past 9th grade by now to realize that blue fire is hotter than red fire

Nooo, no. My best friend in high school and I listened to this together. It was not 20 years ago. Soo, my nostalgia is a full fucking grown adult.

Brings me back to high school. No responsibility. Just chilling and having fun

The good old days

This is a truly fantastic song. I’m gonna go put it in my play list right now!

The nerve of starting title with 20 years ago.
