Candy

This bop that shot Mandy to stardom is something the singer would probably want the world to unhear, but we’re using this to cope with your hiatus, Mandy, because we missed you like candy.

Memorable lines: I’m craving (I’m cravin) for you / I’m missing you like candy (missin you like candy)

So Real

The turn of the millennium saw a lot of catchy teen pop bops, and “So Real” is one of the best we got. Even the music video was peak teen pop with fantasy elements and dance numbers. (Did you spot Jenna Dewan?)

Memorable lines: Ain’t no mountain that we can’t climb / All you gotta do is take your time

I Wanna Be With You

While “I Wanna Be With You” is still mainly pop, Mandy started showing the more mature side of her vocals in this song, even if she was only 16 at the time.

Memorable lines: So I’ll hold you tonight like I would if you were mine / To hold forevermore

In My Pocket

And here Mandy finally departs from the bubblegum pop sound of her youth, being a mix of R&B, techno, and Middle Eastern influences.

Memorable lines: Nothing but faith to keep me warm / But, baby, then I’d be broke without it

Crush

You probably wanted to serenade your crush with this song . . . admit it . . . But you were probably too torpe.

Memorable lines: Ooh, I wish I could tell somebody / But there’s no one to talk to, nobody knows

Cry

If you don’t know any of Mandy Moore songs, “Cry” is the best place to start, with the singer proving her vocal capabilities in this one song. Or you probably already know this song, even if you aren’t a fan, because this was played almost everywhere at the time of its release. And it was part of the OST of A Walk to Remember, which, you know, made us cry so much.

Memorable lines: It was there that I realized / That forever was in your eyes / The moment I saw you cry (or honestly, the whole song)

Extraordinary

Mandy was already telling us about self-love even way back in 2007. So go and be free and extraordinary. Just like the many Mandy Moores in the music video.

Memorable lines: I know I am another sparkle in the sky / I shine uncovered / Still undiscovered / But you must see me / In the corner of your eye

I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of the Week

Yeah, Mandy proved she could break our hearts any time when she went on indefinite hiatus after this album. At least she’s back now!

Memorable lines: Those calendar girls, they got nothing on me / I could break your heart any day of the week
