If your feed suddenly feels familiar, you are not imagining it. 2026 is quietly turning into a nostalgia year, and celebrities are leaning straight into it.
Charlie Puth recently shared a throwback video of We Don’t Talk Anymore, captioning it with, “Heard it was 2016 again.” The timing was not random. It has officially been 10 years since the song’s release, marking a full decade since one of the most defining pop hits of 2016 first took over the charts.
Released in 2016, We Don’t Talk Anymore became a cultural moment. The track dominated radio, playlists, YouTube loops, and late night repeat listens. It was not just a hit, it was the sound of that era. A time when pop music felt simpler, emotionally messy, and deeply internet-driven.
What makes Charlie’s post hit harder is how perfectly it fits the current mood. Across social media, artists are revisiting their peak years. Old songs are resurfacing, aesthetics are coming back, and fans are craving the comfort of familiar moments. The internet is slowly turning into a 2016 memory lane.
A decade later, the song still holds weight. It reminds people of where they were, who they were talking to, and what life felt like before everything became louder and faster online. That is why nostalgia works. It is not just about music. It is about memory.
If 2026 is starting to feel like 2016 again, this might just be the beginning. And if celebrities keep tapping into that era, our feeds are about to get very familiar.
Ten years later, We Don’t Talk Anymore is still doing exactly what it did best. Making people stop, feel, and remember.
