Do you ever find yourself caught in a wave of nostalgia, reminiscing about the days when life was simpler, crushes felt like the most significant thing in the world, and the highlight of the school year was the upcoming middle school dance? If so, you're not alone. There's something incredibly enchanting about revisiting those middle school memories, especially when it comes to the music that served as the backdrop to our first experiences of young love and awkwardly adorable slow dances.
We're taking a trip down memory lane to celebrate the enchanting era of the 2000s, a time when flip phones were all the rage, low-rise jeans were a fashion staple, and the music scene was brimming with unforgettable hits. But what truly made this decade special were the sweet and often awkward moments spent swaying to the slow jams of the time, whether it was with your crush, your best friend, or even just while daydreaming about that special someone.

This song was the slow dance anthem, the ultimate choice for those moments when you had to muster up the courage to ask your crush for a dance, hoping you wouldn't step on their toes. And as you swayed awkwardly to the rhythm, you couldn't help but wonder if you'd ever be as committed to anything in life as The Calling frontman Alex Band was to his beloved.
As you and your crush swayed to the music, it was like all the awkwardness of middle school melted away, leaving only the sweet and earnest feelings you had for your dance partner. It was like a magical spell that turned school gymnasiums into romantic ballrooms, complete with slow spins and dreamy gazes.
As you awkwardly swayed with your crush, it felt like you were living out your own romantic story, complete with plot twists and slow-motion moments. You imagined your own love saga, even if in reality, your idea of a romantic gesture was letting your crush borrow your eraser. Ah, the sweet, simple gestures of middle school love.
A few weeks back wrote a post about the 15 greatest prom scenes in cinema history. Obviously, this got us thinking about our own prom...which never had a hope in hell of measuring up to these great movie moments. In fact, we spent most of the evening profusely apologizing to our date for our lack of dancing skills. The only time we could (sort of) redeem ourselves was when the DJ decided to take the energy down a bit and play us a slow song. Doing "The Worm" and "The Robot" was totally beyond us, but we could handle swaying a-rhythmically to Edwin McCain or Lifehouse. We may have looked dumb, but at least it gave us a socially acceptable excuse to get close to our dates.
We were eternally grateful for those rare moments where it looked like we knew what we were doing, before the DJ went back to playing "Gasolina," and we went back to the punch bowl. So now we'd like to relive those awkward memories by counting down our favorite '90s (and early 2000s) prom slow-jams!
This one from the Armageddon soundtrack fills us with a warm glow because it was the go-to slow dance at our school. It was made only slightly creepy when you consider that the video (sort of) implies that Steven Tyler is singing it to his real-life daughter, Liv.
Historically (at our school, at least) most teen/tween dudes weren't really all that into dancing, let along slow songs. But the fact that this tune was featured in the Batman Forever movie somehow made it ok for us to like.
Love notes arouse the mind. Red wine gets the blood flowing. Home-cooked dinners are thoughtful. Incense sets the mood. Rose petals and bubble baths are a nice touch. But when it comes to sealing the deal, nothing does the trick like the right slow jam. So before you invite your lover to lay down, make sure your playlist is set.
Album: Space Jam Original Soundtrack
A slow jam of epic proportions, yes. A top-ten ranking for Slow Jams Guaranteed to Get You Laid? 'Fraid not. Top-Ten Slow Jams Guaranteed to Get You Dry Humped? ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY!
Album: Get Lifted
What's amazing about "Ordinary People," is that it has the opposite effect of its lyrics: "This time, we'll take it slow." Um, no. Those drawers drop when the first piano key is touched. And somehow the message of responsibility and care transfers over to the guy who clicks play on iTunes. Press play and it's on, so to speak. John Legend, you're a genius!
Album: 100% Ginuwine
I know this from personal experience: when you're feeling anxious, you need to remember to breathe slowly and steadily. Don't engage in any strenuous physical activity. Like sex. Enjoy the rest of this list!
Album: Evolution of Robin Thicke
While Robin Thicke's "Lost Without U" could be possibly be a tiny bit fast to technically be called a slow jam, your girl doesn't care about this tempo - she cares about yours, so shut up and slow yourself down.
Bad news: This song wasn't a single and has been sort-of buried by the sands of time. Great news: It turns out the Soul for Real boys were old enough to be pulling out eight-minute sex jams when this was released in 1994, and not a bunch of 12-year-olds as I previously thought.
Album: Aaliyah
I don't know that this song was meant to be sexy, or even sexual, but it is. It's about a girl comforting a friend, but with the slow pacing, and the spare piano hums, and Aaliyah's float-like-a-butterfly technique...something moves.
Album: Ciara: The Evolution
Not only is the song great; not only does Ciara look incredible in the video. But it is incredibly helpful when you need help maintaining a breathing rhythm. Inhale, exhale. Not too fast, not too slow. One sec, I just need...to...make a phone call.
Album: Purple Rain
"Purple Rain" is that perfect, soaring accompaniment for laying your lady down in slow motion. "Purple Rain" is that perfect, soaring accompaniment for loving your lady down in slow motion. And "Purple Rain" is that perfect, soaring accompaniment for leaving your lady when you're done. Just like Prince.
Album: Case
There' something about Case's 1996 banger, "Touch Me, Tease Me." Maybe it's the slowed-down sample of Schoolly D's "PSK What Does it Mean?" Maybe it's the sound of Mary J. Blige begging you not to stop; she's about to explode on the hook. Whatever it is, this song will definitely get your lady grunting like Foxy Brown.
Album: Lose Control
You know how, in a lot of slow jams, there will always be the super-deep-voice guy who breaks the fourth wall with a super-serious monologue? You know how that's the sexiest part? Well, that's this entire song.
That was the thinking of the Dazz Band's Bobby Harris and Marlon McClain, who organized the new album, "United We Funk," and subsequent tour. The disc contains new recordings of new songs by eight different acts on the funk oldies circuit. Con Funk Shun and the SOS Band do three songs apiece; the Dazz Band and Roger Troutman do two numbers each; and the Gap Band, the Barkays, the System and Rick James do one track each. With titles such as "Girls Night Out," "The Way You Shake" and "Nuthin But a Party," the emphasis is on party music--both the booty-shaking workouts for early in the evening and the slow jams for later on. 2351a5e196
