Whether you're on board with or in opposition to Gen Z’s stance on skinny jeans, we can all agree that the perfect pair of blue jeans will never go out of style. And with spring in full swing, there’s no better time to dig out your favorite pair.

There’s a cathartic feeling that comes with the perfect pair of jeans. They're a wardrobe staple that evokes homeyness and comfort in a way few other pieces of clothing can match. That’s precisely why so many major music artists—from David Bowie to Lana Del Rey—have used blue jeans as inspiration for some of their most popular tunes.  Ahead, we’ve rounded up the top 10 blue jeans-inspired songs that will instantly get you in the mood to get dressed.

"Blue Jeans" by Lana Del Rey

If there’s one thing Lana Del Rey is perfect at, it’s providing the best mood music for any occasion. And her single "Blue Jeans" does just that. Combining her melodramatic sound with a sensual feel, the track is most reminiscent of one of Chuck Bass a la Gossip Girl’s soirees. It’s moving, powerful, and captures a romantic moment in time.

"Taper Jean Girl" by Kings of Leon

If you’ve ever wondered whether a song can have too much tambourine, Taper Jean Girl by Kings of Leon answers that question with a resounding "no." Released in 2004, this rock classic is suited for a more rustic occasion than a formal dinner party. After all, hearing lead singer Caleb Followill screaming at you to shake is probably a better fit for a more lively environment.

"Blue Jean" by David Bowie

How could we not include "Blue Jean" by David Bowie on this list? Some songs truly emit timeless energy, and this banger is among them. A line from the song asks, "Is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean?" Who knows, Bowie? But one thing’s for certain: few jeans-centered tunes can match up to this song's excellence.

"Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry

Although not entirely about blue jeans, Katy Perry’s world-changing single "Teenage Dream" is a party favorite. The feels in which Ms. Perry has captured through the lyrics like, “I'ma get your heart racing / In my skin-tight jeans / Be your teenage dream tonight," are universally relatable and enticing. Sorry Gen Z, but if Katy says skin-tight jeans are in, then there’s no debate on that.
