But hey - it works great as a toast to great memories, growing up and moving on, too. Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong reminds us that everything happens for a reason in his guitar-driven track he originally wrote as a break-up song. Standout lyric: “So take the photographs and still frames in your mind/ Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time” Green Day, “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)”.Vitamin C’s 2000s era hit is a graduation playlist essential - but be prepared to have the chorus (featuring a sample from Pachelbel’s “Canon in D”) stuck in your head for the next few days. Standout lyric: “’Cause we’re moving on and we can’t slow down/ These memories are playing like a film without sound” Vitamin C, “Graduation (Friends Forever)”.If you don’t have a graduate to celebrate but you wanna take a musical trip down memory lane, these tracks are sure to have you all up in your nostalgic feelings.Ĭheck out these odes to growing up and making new memories below. From songs written for the purpose of this very moment like Vitamin C’s 2000s era earworm “Graduation (Friends Forever),” to classics like Kool & The Gang’s “Celebration,” to melancholy yet optimistic numbers like Billie Eilish’s quarantine-era “my future,” to rocking tunes written for those who are wholeheartedly anti-school like Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out,” there’s something on this list that everyone is sure to enjoy. To get the party started, Billboard has rounded up 22 tracks that make great additions to any graduation playlist. And before even getting a chance to catch your breath, it’s time to bust out the caps and gowns for pomp and circumstance, snatch that diploma you’ve worked so hard to get, say your farewells and, of course, celebrate. It’s a lot to take in - on top of prom and college decisions for high schoolers and job-hunting for higher ed students. Excitement, nervousness and at least a hint of sadness are just a few of many emotions that senior students feel as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives.Įven those who are not part of the class of 2022 can remember all the “lasts”: your last first day, last homecoming game, last spring break, last exam, and finally, the highly-anticipated last day of school. Your final year of school is nothing if not an emotional rollercoaster.
