The list is chock full of awesome songs, but there’s one that EVERYONE is buzzing about: Jeff McNeil’s choice, which is What Dreams Are Made Of by Hilary Duff.
There’s a good reason behind the choice, too. Let’s dive into the song and how people reacted:

For anyone wondering about McNeil’s Hilary Duff walk-up choice, here’s a Pete Alonso quote from a 2018 article:
"Jeff McNeil likes The Lizzie McGuire Movie. I'm going to leave it at that. … I figured it out rooming with him this past road trip.” https://t.co/bv9xlrXb0I
