Years of backflips, dancing, friendship, girl power, and of course… Singing along to “Wannabe” by the Spice Girls.
Yesterday, everyone’s favorite girl group celebrated the 25th anniversary of their debut single, “Wannabe”.

It is so crazy to think that it has only been 25 years since their debut single changed the world of pop music forever.
The girls took to Instagram to celebrate “Wannabe”’s 25th birthday by sharing old photos and memories to their millions of fans and followers:
