The evocative track touches on several subjects, including depression, and ends with an intense scream.

13. “I Know There’s Gonna Be Good Times” by Jamie xx, Featuring Young Thug and Popcaan

Song Year: 2015

This song is the opposite of “I Know The End,” as it’s a highly upbeat track that gives you all the good vibes.

Many people remember 2015 as “the easy times” when there was seemingly little to worry about, so the hopeful song is likely fitting for many.

14. “I Know What You Did Last Summer” by Shawn Mendes, Featuring Camila Cabello

Song Year: 2015

Well, maybe not everything in 2015 was so positive. In this song, Camila sings in the narrative of having cheated on her partner.

To contrast her perspective, Shawn Mendes takes the role of the person who was cheated on. He sings about her eyes not glowing as they normally do, which makes him feel like something is wrong, and that his partner is unfaithful.

15. “I’ll Show You” by Justin Bieber

Song Year: 2015

Bieber starts “I’ll Show You” by relating his life to a movie since many people watch him, given he’s one of the biggest pop stars in the world.

The song is about trying to relate to someone he is falling for and ensuring her that he is still human and wants to have love like anyone else. He can’t change his world, but he can invite her into it.

16. “I’m an Albatraoz” by AronChupa, Featuring Little Sis Nora

Song Year: 2014

“I’m an Albatraoz” is a hilarious electro-house song by Swedish DJ AaronChupa about, well, an Albatraoz.

It’s told like a storybook but has a beat drop that makes you want to bounce around as if you’re in the wild!

17. “I’m Going In” by Drake, Featuring Lil Wayne and Jeezy

Song Year: 2009

Lil Wayne opens the song with a fiery verse, Drake dominates the second part, and then Jeezy brings it home.

This song isn’t about anything in particular; just about going hard on an equally fiery beat. Still, while it doesn’t have much of a message, the lyrics, rhymes, and flow are on point.

18. “Imma Be” by Black Eyed Peas

Song Year: 2009

“Imma Be” is about being your best self regardless of what anyone else is doing or has to say.

This track will make you feel powerful, motivated, and confident. The beat is also catchy, making it ideal for a throwback party.

19. “I’m On A Boat” by The Lonely Island, Featuring T-Pain

Song Year: 2009

Of all the songs starting with I, “I’m On A Boat” is one of the most lighthearted. It’s a comical “meme” rap song that pokes fun at rich people who like to flaunt their wealth on boats.

Lonely Island raps many hilarious lines about the difference between them being on a boat while other people are living their regular, boring lives.

Although it’s tongue-in-cheek, it’s actually a great song to sing (or shout) if you ever get a chance to sail around.

20. “I’m the One” by DJ Khaled, Featuring Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper, and Lil Wayne

Song Year: 2017

A gang of highly talented artists come together on “I’m the One,” a lighthearted summer song about how they are “the one” for a woman.

This hypothetical woman is tired of people acting like they are successful, have a lot of money, and can treat her to the nicer things in life when they really can’t.
