This heatstick has flown way too far underneath the radar. Listen to the opening few seconds, and you’ll think I’m throwing Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie” at you, but think again. In 1998, the duo of Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz dropped “Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)”, and while it should’ve changed the world, it was left underappreciated. Do us all a favor and drop this baseline real quick, you’ll be gettin loose in no time.

When we think of the last name Bedingfield these days, we all instantaneously think of Natasha first. How could we not? The pop phenom has let loose bangers like “Unwritten” and “These Words”, what other Bedingfields even come close? If you think back to 2001, however, you will have the pleasure to be reintroduced to her brother, Daniel. Daniel, to my knowledge, has absolutely no other jams except for this display of pure fire. “Gotta Get Thru This” was the #1 song for what seemed like my entire late middle school/early high school career, yet the name Daniel Bedingfield means nothing. Take a moment, and think of this one-hit-wonder, fallen pop icon.

Bring on the homo jokes I’m ready for it. If you can honestly say, being 100% true to yourself, that this jam doesn’t get everybody loose when the baseline drops at 0:37 mark,then you’re out of your mind. I have no fucking idea who Donna Lewis is; who cares? All I know is that at age nine, I distinctly remember thinking this song was the greatest of all time. Whatever the hell I was doing in 1996(most likely playing Super Mario Kart for Super Nintendo), I clearly recall this banger playing a large role in my young adolescent life. Hit it, and reminisce.
