A good teen movie isn't without its soundtrack as it is the hit songs that made the movie itself or certain scenes memorable. Sometimes, a movie's main soundtrack song wasn't even included in the movie itself but became synonymous regardless. With hit classics like The Breakfast Club or even Clueless, there's one song that fans often attach to it.

Every teen movie that gained notoriety has a number one soundtrack song, whether it's romance, comedy, or about a dystopian future relying on an annual competition event. It's not easy to erase memories of Heath Ledger singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" in 10 Things I Hate About You.

"One Way Or Another" - Mean Girls

Mean Girls became a pop culture sensation ever since its debut in 2004. Written by Tina Fey, the movie unanimously became a cult classic in the teen comedy genre. The plot is outrageous, comical, over the top, and iconic. Just as the main characters became popular, so did the movie's soundtrack.

"One Way or Another" by Blondie is part of the movie and appears when Cady (Lindsey Lohan) decides it's time to split up The Plastics and ruin Regina's reputation. The song plays during a montage scene as she and her friends come up with ways to make Regina less popular with all her friends and peers. The song is a perfect fit as the lyrics are symbolic with Cady's revenge plot.

"Don't You (Forget About Me)" - The Breakfast Club

The 1985 movie, The Breakfast Club is one of the most famous teen movie. A group of mismatched students gets stuck in detention together on a Saturday. Each character comes from a different social standing, from a jock, the popular girl, outcast, nerd, and bad boy.

The movie became synonymous with "Don't You (Forget About Me)," which was sung by the band Simple Minds. The soundtrack song plays at the end of the movie after the main characters develop a new type of friendship and understanding. These characters may have bonded but it's unclear if their new relationships will continue when Monday comes around.

"Hero" - Perks Of Being A Wallflower

Perks of Being a Wallflower is a popular coming-of-age movie based on a 1999 teen novel of the same name. The movie became a hit for the resonating storyline of its main character Charlie (Logan Lerman) and his journey as he starts his freshmen year of high school.

Fans of the movie agree that David Bowie's "Hero" that plays during the tunnel scene was made for the movie. As Charlie and his two newfound friends drive through the tunnel, the song evokes an emotion of weightlessness and freedom. A feeling like Charlie finally gets his moment, he even says the line, "I feel infinite."

"All I Want Is You" - Juno

When thinking about the movie Juno, there's one song that always comes to mind. The 2007 movie is a trailblazer as a teenager named Juno (Elliot Page) finds out she's pregnant and decides to give the baby up for adoption. Intermixed in the plot is her love story with Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera).

The movie's title song "All I Want Is You" by Barry Louis Polisar is simplistic yet resonating in its story about love. The song talks about wanting your significant other to be your everything. In the movie, Juno reconciles with Paulie and realizes she loves him and wants him in her life.

"Love Lies" - Love, Simon

For Love, Simon, many fans struggled was to pick one main soundtrack song. Bleachers "Alfie's Song" and "Love Lies" by Khalid and Normani are both well recognized because of the movie. While both have a great message that ties in well with the movie's overall storyline, "Love Lies" hits home.

The plot also follows the love story between Simon and 'Blue,' who have yet to meet in person but are shown to have a great connection based on the emails they send each other. The song's lyrics perfectly encapsulate 'Blue' and Simon's story as the singer talks about the difficulties of not knowing where the person they are in love with stands with their relationship.

Ironically, the song foreshadowed the plot in a way as it implies two characters who like each other but need reassurance they are on the same page before starting a relationship.

"Yellow Flicker Beat" - The Hunger Games

Teen movies aren't always about the main romance. The Hunger Games was a movie about a dystopian future, where society relies on a yearly competition that needs tributes from each district. Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) became a shining beacon of hope and strength as she fought back against the government and society.

As the franchise gained success, the first movie's soundtrack is still well-loved. Lorde's "Yellow Flick Beat" became an anthem for the movie. If listening to the music video, fans can hear Lorde humming that represents the sounds inside Katniss's mind. The song's lyrics are strong and powerful with lines like "They used to shout my name, now they whisper it."

"Dare You To Move" - A Walk To Remember

A Walk to Remember did the job of having its viewers weep at the emotional love story between Landon (Shane West) and Jamie (Mandy Moore). Landon, who is considered a stereotypical bad boy, falls in love with the pastor's daughter. However, as their relationship progresses, Landon is heartbroken to discover that Jamie has a terminal illness and has only got a couple of months left. The movie has plenty of emotional moments that were only highlighted by the soundtrack.

Switchfoot's "Dare You to Move" adds to the emotional rollercoaster of the movie's storyline. The song's lyrics talk about picking oneself back up again after facing struggles. The lyrics, "Maybe redemption has stories to tell. Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell," resonates with Landon's life being changed around when he fell in love with Jamie. Jamie finally gets the beautiful ending and love she always wanted.

"I Want You To Want Me" - 10 Things I Hate About You

Not many fans may know that the hit song from 10 Things I Hate About You, "I Want You to Want Me," was originally by Cheap Trick, before being remastered by the band Letter to Cleo. While Heath Ledger's ballad still reigns supreme, this song comes a close second. The movie, a revamp of a Shakespeare play, was all about a shrew female character who falls in love with the mysterious bad boy - unaware that it was all a plan.

The band is seen performing the song on the roof of the school in the ending scene and credits. It's upbeat, fits the sound of the 2000s, and its lyrics self-explanatory. It's all about liking someone else and wanting their love and their affection. The lyrics talk about a need to have the other person invested and doing everything possible to make them love you.

"Love Is A Battlefield" - 13 Going On 30

The movie has many notable songs in its soundtrack, like Michael Jackson's "Thriller," none top "Love Is a Battlefield" by Pat Benatar. It talks about the complications of love as Jenna was figuring out her feelings for an adult Matt (Mark Ruffalo) as she jumped and danced with gusto.

"Decode" - Twilight

Twilight is by far the most talked-about supernatural teen movie to exist. It skyrocketed the vampire-werewolf-human love story genre in pop culture. Die-hard Twilight fans are well aware of what main soundtrack song became synonymous with the movie. Paramore was at the height of their popularity in the 2000s.

"Decode" by Paramore was specially made for the movie and its music video even included scenes from Twilight. However, the song was only included in the credits. It's dark, haunting, mysterious, and perfect for the movie. The song's lyrics both fit Bella and Edward's story of hidden truths, clouded judgment, and danger all the while falling in love regardless.
