It's aged well in that it still sounds good, but it has definitely aged. I mean that Dancehall trend is very indicative of the early to mid 2000s and if it was released today it would sound a bit dated.
I think the best way to see if a song is dated is to think if there are a bunch of other songs that sound like it that are indicators of it being from a specific time. And there is. Sean Paul, Lumidee, etc.
There are a lot of songs that were made for a specific time in music. Nevertheless, others were made to became eternal classic. This thread will help us find out which songs ATRL thinks aged well throughout the years and which songs didn't!

Do you think "What a Girl Wants" would still smash nowadays? Did it age well?
It was Rihanna's first smash, memorable imo.
