Take an awkward walk down memory lane with 31 ’90s slow dance songs. Get ready to laugh and relive high school all over again.
(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You – NSync
Here’s Justin Timberlake when he was a member of N*Sync with “(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You.”
I Will Come to You – Hanson
Yet another not-really-a-love-song song that made it on the slow-dance list. “I Will Come to You” by Hanson is actually not terrible.
Dreaming of You – Selena
We’re still dreaming of you, Selena. Always and forever.
How Do I Live – LeAnn Rimes
LeAnn Rimes might have been thinking of Eddie Cibrian when she sang “How Do I Live” even though she didn’t know him yet.
2 Become 1 – Spice Girls
The Spice Girls are never, ever getting back together. (Like, ever.) But we’ll always have “2 Become 1” music videos.
Breathe Again – Toni Braxton
Not only does Toni Braxton have a perfectly unisex name, she also has a perfectly beautiful voice, as evidenced on “Breathe Again.”
You Sang to Me – Marc Anthony
Maybe Skeletor sang to J.Lo one too many times and that’s why they’re divorced now.
I Will Always Love You – Whitney Houston
Often imitated, never duplicated, “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston is one of the best love songs of all time.
Because You Loved Me – Celine Dion
Please check out the interpretive dancer in the background of this music video for “Because You Loved Me” by Celine Dion. Please. Now. I beg you.
Hero – Mariah Carey
And then a hero comes along…and his name is Nick Cannon. Mariah Carey’s “Hero” is one of her most popular songs ever.
You Were Meant For Me – Jewel
Jewel’s “You Were Meant For Me” is from her debut album, Pieces of You.
Angel of Mine – Monica
Listen to “Angel of Mine” by Monica. You’re totally singing along right now.
All My Life – K-Ci and JoJo
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. I will never find another song more awesome/hilarious than “All My Life” by K-Ci and JoJo.
She’s All I Ever Had – Ricky Martin
Before he was an openly gay man, Ricky Martin made women swoon with “She’s All I Ever Had.” He probably still makes them swoon.
Under the Bridge – Red Hot Chili Peppers
“Under the Bridge” actually isn’t a love song at all. It’s a song about a lonely man who has an overdose. But yet, it’s on the list of slow-dance songs from the 90s.
You’re Still the One – Shania Twain
Imagine the ridiculousness of 9th graders slow-dancing to “You’re Still the One.” Read the lyrics if you don’t get it.
Amazed – Lonestar
Every time our eyes meet, I’m probably chuckling with uncomfortable awkwardness over “Amazed” by Lonestar.
I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing – Aerosmith
“I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” was Aerosmith’s FIRST EVER #1 hit. Crazy, right?
Kiss Me – Sixpence None the Richer
“Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer was THE SONG for She’s All That, starring Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachel Leigh Cook.
Angel – Sarah McLachlan
Before this song was used to move us to tears in ASPCA commercials, Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel” was a slow-dance number.
I Want It That Way – Backstreet Boys
The lyrics to “I Want It That Way” by Backstreet Boys don’t even make sense. And this video is CLEARLY an N*Sync ripoff.
Iris – Goo Goo Dolls
When you’re in love with an angel, you sing a song with a title that is never explained. Yep, that’s “Iris” from Goo Goo Dolls.
When Can I See You – Babyface
“When Can I See You” again? Babyface, I’ll have my people call your people.
Kiss From a Rose – Seal
If you get kissed by a rose, it’s probably trying to stab you with a thorn. “Kiss From a Rose” by Seal neglects to mention that fact.
Back At One – Brian McKnight
Brian McKnight’s voice is smooth as silk which is why we overlook the cheesiness of the lyrics to “Back at One.”
End of the Road – Boyz II Men
Only the smooth vocal stylings of Boyz II Men could turn a breakup song into a slow jam.
From This Moment – Shania Twain
Possibly the cheesiest of the cheese, “From This Moment,” by Shania Twain, is super Cheddar.
My Heart Will Go On – Celine Dion
I’LL NEVER LET GO, JACK! Sing along with Celine Dion on “My Heart Will Go On.”
I Swear – All 4 One
Here’s All 4 One singing “I Swear.” You know you loved this song.
(I Do) Cherish You – 98 Degrees
Look! It’s Ali Landry in 98 Degrees’ video for (I Do) Cherish You!
Truly Madly Deeply – Savage Garden
Check out “Truly Madly Deeply” from Savage Garden and get your slow-dancing shoes ready!
