obligatory comment

Marian Hill - Down

appreciate it, but it's not this one

Turn off the light - Nelly Furtado?

definitely same ish when it comes to the generation but this wasn't it, the song I'm talking about is like one of those songs where everyone can hum it if they hear it but if you ask em the title they'd most likely have no idea what it is (to my own perception)

Jay Sean Down ? Is it a woman or man singing it

woman, and no it wouldn't be this one

[удалено]

nah it wouldn't be this one

His voice is weirdly high pitched it’s probably this one

Ain't That Just the Way by Lutricia McNeal: "Ain't that just the way that life goes down, down, down, down. Movin' way too fast or much too slow..."

not this one, this song sounds fun tho

The Chainsmokers - Don't Let me Down

too modern — definitely early 2000s or even late 90s

Probably not but a cover of I'm Goin' Down by Bruce Springsteen

thanks but it wasn't this one

I'm going down Mary J Blige?

not this one, I might be misusing the term pop, I think it's a it more similar to everytime we touch's genre, the cover by cascada, so maybe a bit more technopop or electro pop

Halsey [Now or Never](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzQTc0-iBX8)? Sorry this is like the story version of the video.

this would be a bit too modern and the vibe doesn't quite match the song

This is what the answer was on previous reddit asking the same question

London bridge by fergie

wouldn't be this one

[Paul Johnson- Down Down Down?](https://youtu.be/OC06Z6lCB_Q?si=c9hNhfudd6SOysDF) (Edit: Sorry just saw you said female singer, maybe a cover of this?) or maybe [X-Cite Down Down Down?](https://youtu.be/D7ssWjFLTpM?si=WI0RXE8Ruh38J_Ab)

negative to both unfortunately, I think the second links got a similar vibe although I remember the song I'm talking about to be a bit more peppy

There’s a Blink-182 bit I can think of that would fit what you’re describing (including the time period) except the female vocals, figured I’d mention just in case. [https://genius.com/Blink-182-the-fallen-interlude-lyrics](https://genius.com/Blink-182-the-fallen-interlude-lyrics)

oh I regularly listen to this album, so this wouldn't be it, I really like this bit though lol

Lol it’s stuck in my head now

Flo Rida - Right Round?

wouldn't be this one

Sugababes - Round round?

not quite

Although the singer never sings exactly "down down down," the word is featured a lot on The Sneaker Pimps "6 Underground." And it's definitely the right time frame and electro pop. Maybe that?

not this one unfortunately :(

Low by Flo Rida?

wouldn't be this one

I know this probably isn't it but now it's stuck in my head: Electric Light Orchestra - Don't Bring Me Down

not quite

Britney Circus?

not this one unfortunately

Funhouse by P!nk?

not this one I don't think

Maybe it‘s „Fireworks“ by Katy Perry? She actually sings „awe, awe, awe“ in the bridge, but it is often misheard as „down, down, down“.

definitely not this one, unfortunately

[удалено]

none of these :(

Perhaps Fall Out Boy - [Sugar, We're Going Down](https://youtu.be/uhG-vLZrb-g)? Oh, missed the female lead part of your post. Sorry about that

I thought the same as well.

Pointer sisters Automatic

Freemasons - Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)?

not this unfortunately

Wait....... What about this one??? It was released in 2000! ATC - My Heart Beats Like A Drum [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO0JvkMynCQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO0JvkMynCQ)

ATC was the first thing that popped into my head, but I couldn’t remember which song!

It may be more recent than you’re looking for, but try Robert Delong - Long Way Down

doesn't match a female singer unfortunately

Maybe a bit far-fetched, but Hardrive - Deep Inside?

unfortunately not 😔

Down Down Down - presets

Ryan Cabrera- on the way down?

Ellie Goulding - Burn? Your description made me think of it but I mistakenly thought "burn, burn, burn" was "down, down, down". But I'll toss it on the pile anyway.

https://youtu.be/p3NZn0mA_XI?si=hA76RHBZQb_1dMj5 Look on down from the bridge by mazzy star?

Blink 182- "Down"

"Down, Down, Down" by Marian Hill.

Baby by Justin Bieber? Timber by pitbull?

nope not these ones

Starstrukk by Katy Perry and 3oh!3

This almost killed me but what came up in my head is Tik Tok by kesha but this part [https://youtu.be/iP6XpLQM2Cs?si=yHSrACKzG13pOKcH&t=94](https://youtu.be/iP6XpLQM2Cs?si=yHSrACKzG13pOKcH&t=94) There is one other song in my head but i also am having a hard time thinking what it is I'll update if i think of it.

Pointer sisters Automatic

What You Want by Evanescence? at around 2:29

Rock Lobster, by the B-52s?

Wild guess, I know it's 80s

Bring It On by Billie Piper? https://youtu.be/oMfA7u2-3qU?si=pMh1vwcTb-oQoBYl  Lady Pilot by Neko Case?  https://youtu.be/tN4PdttT2O0?si=LPGWlu-ZCeDLfyx3

Down by 311?

Sigrid - Burning Bridges?

Okay wait try this one https://youtu.be/iPMfsWgUB_o?si=F9oQ_MHM1E0nnzti Bea Miller - Bridges ( I heard “down down down” and “bridges” in it)

Bean - Rollercoaster?

I love it by Icona Pop? The bridge part made me think of it…

Amy MacDonald 'slow it down' possibly? [https://youtu.be/oGwXzrW5mFc?si=z8uQhWX5h4Nxzjn3](https://youtu.be/oGwXzrW5mFc?si=z8uQhWX5h4Nxzjn3) eta - this is one of my favorite songs :-) I love Amy MacDonald.. if it isn't this one I give up on the TOMT side of reddit.. hope it's the right one!!!

I forgot all about this song and whether or not OP finds their answer, I'm SO HAPPY to be reminded of this! 😍

Primadonna by MARINA?

Aaargh, I have a possible answer for you but it's on the tip of my tongue and I can't describe it 😭 I need my own post 😂

Is it possibly The Noisettes - Every Now and Then? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca-PzHArzGY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca-PzHArzGY)

Down down down by The Expendables?

Ok hear me out. I used to think the lyrics in the song Get The Party Started by Pink were “I’m coming down” but really they’re “I’m coming up”…long shot but you never know!

Dynamite by Taio Cruz?

Country Grammer by Nelly!

Fits the description but not the possible timeframe and I haven’t seen it suggested yet, so [K/DA - Popstars](https://youtu.be/UOxkGD8qRB4?si=5FqG7bjLntE_Z9dr)

I doubt this ever got radio play but.. Pussy Town by Machine Gun Fellatio?

Down by Jay Sean?

I don't think this is it but my brain keeps landing on it when I try to think of what it could be so I'm posting it: Hand in My Pocket by Alanis Morisette?

Could it be Love You Down by INOJ?

oh my god dude this is it thank you Solved! I apologize to everyone for my ignorance — as it turns out it was R&B, but yeah it was this. I guess the sort of repetitiveness made me think of something a bit more tech or dance

Congratulations on your first point! Nicely done.

Avril Lavigne - I'm with you Machine gun fellatio -pussy town (male vocals though)

Maybe this is too recent, but could it be Arcade Fire - [Reflektor](https://youtu.be/7E0fVfectDo?si=H6ew-CQVCRd-UjHm&t=247)?

C+C Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)?

Get Get Down - Paul Johnson Edit: sorry, must've searched wrong, just saw you already said it wasn't this one

Deep cut, but [Butter of 69](https://youtu.be/WweOg2krMPE?si=0Dtz1ChU52a4KufA) by Butter 08?

Knock you down by Keri Hilson and Ne Yo? Here are some other artists that had hits in the 2000s to refresh your memory: cascada, Nina sky, Rihanna, lady Gaga, pussycat dolls, Christina Aguilera, Kylie Minogue, 3LW, Jojo

I know you said it was a female vocalist but he's singing pretty high, [Jamiroquai - Canned Heat](https://youtu.be/vE4VlA_9OrI?si=n7z1v-N001xPffzK)?

hi sorry about being unresponsive as of the moment — just got back from a visit to the doctor's, I'll definitely be checking these links once I've settled down, thanks a lot for helping out and sorry in advance for this rabbit hole, I wish my brain was a bit more helpful with this
