That moment when you hear a song you haven't heard in ages and a sudden wave of nostalgia hits you...
Every memory you have associated with that particular song resurfaces in your mind and you find yourself foolishly singing along and smiling at all the flashbacks.
If you're in the mood to sit back and reminisce about your childhood, here are 8 Arabic songs that are guaranteed to put you in the zone:
1. Khedni Maak - Fadl Shaker and Yara
You have probably heard this song on a daily basis during the summer of 2006 and now you won't be able to get it out of your head... You're most welcome.
2. Kl el Qassayed - Marwan Khoury
This song was basically made for your 14-year-old cousin who was overly in touch with his emotions and played this song 100 times a day on his old Nokia flip phone.
3. Esma'ani - Carole Samaha
Your 14-year-old female cousin, however, had a different anthem... You'd watch her and her friends dance and sing along to this song, wondering if you will ever be this cool.
4. Ya Rabb - Marwan Khoury and Carole Samaha
It sounds too good to be true, but your male and female hero artists collaborated to produce this masterpiece. This song will surely remind you of the wedding you were planning with your crush back in 2008...
5. Youm Wara Youm - Samira Saaid
Yes, this song is real, and so is this music video.
6. Inta Eih - Nancy Ajram
On the dark side of the spectrum emerges Nancy Ajram's ultimate heartbreak anthem. This song about getting cheated on and betrayed by your man made you cry and scream your lungs out over a relationship you never had.
7. Law Bassely - Yara
You were pretty much the luckiest person in the world if this song was played in the same room you and your crush were in back then.
Speaking of 'back then', peep the music video for that one eyebrow trend we're all trying to pretend never happened.
8. El Donia Helwa - Nancy Ajram
Nancy Ajram temporarily brought peace to the Middle East with this song that quickly became everyone's ringtone. People got married and families got reunited because of El Donia Helwa.
Those were the good old days...
