Here are my selections; and yes, I realize that they are very very VERY different, lol.
Square Biz by Teena Marie
I grew up listening to this song. It reminds me of being in the car with my mom and she would sing and dance. This brings back childhood memories.
A Whole New World by Mena Massoud & Naomi Scott (Aladdin Original Motion Soundtrack)
Similar to @AdamPandora I loved Disney movies. Princess Jasmine was one of my favorite princesses as a child. I even dressed up as her one year for Halloween.
...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
I was in 4th grade when this song came out. I remember begging my mom to take me to the concert because of this song. That being said, Britney Spears was my very first concert ever.
Dreams & Nightmares by Meek Mill
I went to college in Philadelphia and this song was very popular at the time. Meek Mill is from Philly.
Marvin's Room by Drake
This song reminds me of when I was dating my husband in college. Drake had just released an album after multiple mixtapes. I still listen to songs from this album today.
I Write Sins Not Tragedies by Panic! At The Disco
Did anyone else burn their own CDs using Limewire back in the day? Lol, this song reminds me of making my own CDs. I burned different CDs for different genres.
Party by Beyoncé (HOMECOMING: The Live Album)
Love this song. I was able to see this live at Coachella when Beyoncé performed. She's one of my favorite entertainers ever. If you haven't watched the HOMECOMING documentary on Netflix, I highly recommend it.
1 Thing by Amerie
This song came out when I was in high school. Amerie brings back memories of those days. I even have an Amerie Radio station on my personal Pandora that I still listen to!
You Don't Know My Name by Alicia Keys
I grew up on the east coast and every year we would drive to NYC to see the Christmas tree and go ice skating at Rockefeller Center. We'd go shopping, visit Central Park, eat at our favorite Italian restaurant in Midtown, and much more. This song stirs up all of those memories because it was released in the fall / winter of 2003; and was on the playlist we would listen to during our drive.
1812 Overture by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
My mom loves classical music (well all music really). For the 4th of July, my family would attend an outdoor classical music concert performed by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra with fireworks. We'd bring lawn chairs and blankets, with the music playing during the fireworks show. The 1812 Overture is one of the pieces that was performed during the show. Fireworks in the park while listening to the orchestra was always something I looked forward to each Independence Day.
