So I'm working on a personal playlist of songs which have at least some elements of 2000s style production. Be it R&B/Hip Hop, Hip Hop, Alternative Rock, Electro House, R&B Pop, etc. I've come up with some songs already (Sweet But Psycho by Ava Max, Little Me by Little Mix, 2002 by Anne-Marie, Another Day Gone by A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, among others.)
I went to Reddit to as this as well. I've gotten some decent help there, but I need some more perspectives, as well as for songs I'm confused about (such as Clementine by Halsey. The harp makes me think of the late 2000s, as the harp was used in Because Of You by Ne-Yo, Miss Independent by Ne-Yo, All I See by Kylie Minogue, but I'm unsure about whether I should include it because it has that 2010s production. I know almost all of the songs in the playlist are bound to have some giveaway that they are from the 2010s, but for some reason I'm confused about whether I should include clementine, so I'm searching for some different opinions on it. Would the song fit in anyone else's opinion?)
Anyway, any more suggestions?
Edit: I'm loving this 2000s revival over the past year with Pop Smoke blowing up with songs sampling early 00s Hip Hop, Olivia Rodrigo with her Pop Rock/Pop Punk-ish songs calling back to the 2000s (Jealousy, Jealousy is a special kind of 00s throwback imo,) along with Machine Gun Kelly, Bebe Rexha, Gallant, among others.
Edit: Progress so far

I always got certain 00s vibes from Baby I, Ariana Grande and So Good, Zara Larsson

This song is top 20 on Billboard alternative right now. Straight up 2005 vibes. Y’all should really check him out. One of my favorite songs out at the moment. Also Should’ve Been Us by Tori Kelly.

I used to think Fall in Love by Phantogram sounded like something that would have come out in 2004. It's the production, it just reminds me of a lot of the crossover stuff that hit top 40 back then.

Also 1999 by Charli XCX and Troye Sivan gives me a 2000s vibe too

Definitely Ella Mai's "Trip" and Summer Walker's "Come Thru" for me. The fact that the latter also samples Usher's "U Make Me Wanna" does help.

Also definitely JT's "Mirrors". Wasn't it recorded back in 2009 or something?

Rina Sawayama - XS Gives me Britney/Gwen/Xtina vibes and I love it Add Akasaka Sad by Rina to that as well! Sounds like something straight from Britney's In the Zone album.

I'm considering ROCKSTAR by Dababy to be an early 2000s sounding song. I hope we're heading into an early 2000s style trend within music.
Anyway, I know "They Just Don't Know You" by Little Mix sounds like it's from the 2000s, but I'm not sure which year to place it in. 2006, 2008, or 2009.
thanks so far!

Technically, I can start making a "Songs which sound like they're from the 2010s" playlist now because so far in terms of 2020 releases we have "Boss B*tch" by Doja Cat (which sounds like it's from 2011,) and "Be Kind" by Marshmello feat. Halsey, which has a 2014 80s inspired pop thing going on. Also, "Cold Feet" by Loud Luxury reminds me of 2015, so there's that. I like these songs for reminding me of those times which is why I would start making the playlist anytime this decade.
It's technically too early to put late 2010s sounding songs on such a list because most of the production trends from that time are still relevant in 2020.
As for more 2000s sound alikes, "They Just Dont Know You" by Little Mix is very 2009, so it's definitely on the "Sounds like it's from the 2000s" playlist.

I feel like some songs from Chloe x Halle's new album definitely sound like they could've been from Destiny's Child's Survivor era.

Here's the playlist as it is so far, still updating with new songs as more come out. I'm essentially trying to recreate the 2000s for fun while making this. From the Bubblegum Pop era to the Electro Pop era along with everything in between. Here it is as it is so far. Still open to suggestions.
Edit: I don't know what's going on with the cover art, it's supposed to be the covers of the first four songs in the playlist.

Also definitely JT's "Mirrors". Wasn't it recorded back in 2009 or something? According to the song's Wikipedia page, it was written in '09 but recorded in June of 2012.

A Boogie wit da Hoodie ft. Young Thug - Might Not Give Up (Very reminiscent of a mid 2000s melodic rap song done by Akon or T-Pain)
Guè Pequeno - FastLife 4 (the entire mixtape/album)

Oh my God yessss Gallant's new single "Comeback" - it straight up sounds like Usher's 8701/ Confessions era. I dig it though!

The most recent one: Busta Rhymes - Where I Belong (feat. Mariah Carey)
Also maybe Ciara's "Level Up" but only the remix feat. Missy Elliott & Fatman Scoop.

It sounds too much like a song from the early 2000s to not include it here haha. I include any song that has even a moderate hint of 2000s style production/2000s "sound" in some way, doesn't matter if it also has as much as somewhat of a future bass-esq beat, but "Comeback." is early 00s Usher in essence. I kinda like it as well.

Surprised "What You Know About Love" by Pop Smoke has not been called out.
"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" too.
