A group of college students took part in a "Try Not to Sing Challenge" where they were played popular songs from 2008, 10 years after their release, and had to resist singing or dancing along. The songs included hits from artists such as Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Lil' Wayne, and Beyoncé. The participants found it extremely difficult to resist singing along, especially to songs they had strong emotional connections to or that brought back memories. Despite their best efforts, most of them ended up singing or tapping along to the songs, with one participant commenting that it was the hardest challenge they had ever done.
