The song "7/11" was actually released in 2014 when it peaked at number thirteen. The next four words after the lyrics in the question are "Seven eleven, seven eleven" which repeat the song's title.

In addition to achieving platinum status by its sales volume, "Centuries" was also utilized by ESPN as its theme song for the 2015 College Football playoff and it featured in the video game "Rock Band 4". The music video for "Centuries" features gladiators and pays homage to the story of David and Goliath from the Bible. Prior to 2015 Fall Out Boy's last Billboard top 10 hit was in 2007 when "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" peaked at number two.

Answer: See You Again

"See You Again" was the first number one hit for Wiz Khalifa since "Black and Yellow" in 2010. Wiz Khalifa is the stage name for Cameron Jibril Thomaz who was born in North Dakota in 1987. "See You Again" was co-written and featured the singer Charlie Puth who had lost a friend in a car accident shortly before working on the song.

Answer: Time of Our Lives

The singer Fergie also appeared in the music video for "Time of Our Lives" as she has for several Pitbull songs.

Answer: Alessia Cara

Alessia Cara was born with the name Alessia Caracciolo to parents of Italian descent. The song "Here" has been labeled as an anti-party song which seems pretty accurate as its first few lines are:
"I'm sorry if I seem uninterested
Or I'm not listenin' or I'm indifferent
Truly, I ain't got no business here".

Answer: Honey, I'm Good

"Honey, I'm Good" struck a cord with me. It acknowledges physical attraction but has a message of staying true to one's love. "Honey, I'm Good" was the second single released by Grammer off of his "Magazines or Novels" album and his first song ever to crack the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100.

In addition to the success that Grammer had on the charts with "Honey, I'm Good", he also performed the National Anthem in Denver at the AFC Championship game in January 2016.

Answer: Ex's & Oh's

"Ex's & Oh's" was Elle King's first single off of her debut album "Love Stuff" and the song reached number one on the Billboard Rock and Alternative charts, a rare feat for a solo female artist. The song "Ex's & Oh's" was also nominated for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song at the 2016 Grammy Awards.

Answer: Antidote

The song "Antidote" was not originally planned to be released on the album "Rodeo" but its popularity encouraged the artist to include it. Travis Scott is the stage name of Jacques Webster who was born in Houston, Texas in 1992. While "Rodeo" was Travis Scott's first album he released a free mix tape in 2013 titled "Owl Pharaoh" that featured a guest appearance by T.I.

On the Billboard Country charts Stapleton's "Tennessee Whiskey" reached number one, David Allen Coe's original reached number 77, and a 1983 cover by George Jones reached number two.
