"1985" is a song that was written and recorded by American pop-punk band SR-71 for their album Here We Go Again. Mitch Allan, SR-71's frontman, gave the song to pop-punk band Bowling for Soup, who recorded a cover version that reached number 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was included on the band's album A Hangover You Don't Deserve.[1]
The song is about a middle-aged woman who is stuck in the 1980s due to being in denial that her life is zooming by so fast and the fact that she never got to live out her ideal life before settling down and starting a family.
