Songs similar to Erase

[Coraline6]

Hello everyone!

 

I realize that Mika hates his song "Erase".  I understand that it sounds much more mainstream for the time than his other songs did.

I wanted to know though...when I listen to Erase and especially the chorus piano part, it reminds me of other songs from around 2007.

I cannot think of one actual song name though and it is really bothering me!  Some people in a fourm a while ago mentioned The Climb being similar but I don't think it has the same atmosphere as Erase (and I really dislike The Climb!).  I know a few songs from that time period felt very similar though and I want to know what they are!

 

If anyone can remember any songs from the 2000s that sound like Erase please comment!

 

Thank you
