What better way to make my audience feel old than by sharing a list of songs that turn a certain age in 2026? Each year, I watch TikTok videos or read articles about turning a certain age and feel old. My fellow MCDI writer Matthew Fox does rewind reviews that knock it out of the ballpark. Those lists inspired me to share the list of songs turning the big FIVE, yes, 5 years old in 2026. 

Tom Brady joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, leading them to a Super Bowl victory over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. The world was turned upside down by COVID-19 and continued to alter how many people lived their lives. Pop star Britney Spears was freed from her conservatorship, Squid Game took the world by storm, and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West headed for divorce.
