7 Reasons Why '7 Things' Will Forever Be Iconic

"Sha"

Its been over 10 years since this blessing of a song came down directly from the breakup gods. Here are 7 reasons why '7 Things' will always be a banger.

1. The opening "sha" sound

Who needs real words when we have “sha”?!!!!!! Seriously though, the amount of emotion and intensity she manages to pack into these three letters sets the tone for the rollercoaster of emotion/spiritual experience you’re about to feel while listening to this song. As far as I’m concerned, “sha” alone is enough to make it iconic but here are 6 more reasons…

2. "When you mean it, I'll believe it. If you text it, I'll delete it."

Miley was on the cutting edge of breakup culture ten years ago with her flip phone and these lyrics. This poetic line still perfectly captures how f****d up it is to breakup/makeup over text. This is definitely not directed at a particular person. *cough* Dylan *cough

3. The epic Miley and Nick love story

The Niley era will forever be an iconic time in tween romance history. Their on again off again relationship gave us all 'Notebook' level feels and inspired multiple epic songs (Before the Storm, Wedding Bells, and most importantly 7 things). The 7 Things video was one of the most legendary moments in the Niley saga when she not only had his dog tag on for the video but also held up a picture of them together!!!!! With his face covered BUT STILL!!!!!!! The fact that this song was a diss/love confession to Nick Jonas makes it all the more iconic.

4. "You make me love you"

This line will forever be relevant for anyone who has that person. AKA the person you hate on the outside but only because of how much you still love and care about them on the inside. This may or may not be a direct quote from my angsty teen Tumblr posts…

5. The fact that you can dance/cry/scream to this song.

This song is perfect for almost any situation in life. Need a good cry after a breakup? This song. Want to jam out with your friends in the car on a road trip? This song. Want to scream at the top of your lungs about the douchebag who broke your heart? THIS MOTHERFREAKING SONG. (Also, I have cooked a meatloaf while listening to this song and it fits that vibe as well).

6. "You love me, you like her"

Hookup culture in one sentence.

7. The shocking twist at the end of the song

You thought this would just be an angry breakup anthem? Well leave it to Hannah Montana to totally fool us all. She switched it up at the end and sang about the 7 things she *likes* about you. Lyrical genius.
