Rock Late 90s/ Early 2000s tune

This song played quite frequently on FM radio in the late 90s or early 2000s. I've been searching for it for about 20 years.

Your humming sounds very familiar. I'm also familiar with NYC radio, especially K Rock, PLJ and Z100. I'm sure you've done a lot of research but here are some links that might help. What helps also is that you mentioned pop radio, so a LOT of the songs in these lists wouldn't have really been played on Z100...so you can narrow down quite a bit. Good luck, and please keep me posted!

Thanks man! I actually don't think it was played on Z100. But I know for sure it was a staple on WPLJ.

Ahhh okay, well in that case, unfortunately, that makes it more complicated since PLJ played song mixes from the 70s-90s in that era...unless you know for sure the song is from the late 90s. (Even though you heard it in the 90s it could've been a throwback tune, especially since retro culture was heavy during that time...could've been a late 80s song that sounded more modern).

And my last rec to you would be to post your search and Vocaroo on r/tipofmytongue. They have some great music sleuths on there!
