  • This Is Us star Mandy Moore recently performed “Only Hope” from A Walk to Remember, the 2002 romantic drama she once starred in.

  • The 35-year-old was accompanied by her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, during an Instagram Live at-home concert.

  • Fans felt nostalgic after listening to Mandy's acoustic performance.

Season 4 of This Is Us may be over, but that doesn’t mean Mandy Moore is done making us feel emotional.

On Sunday, April 5, the 35-year-old took to Instagram to perform an at-home live concert alongside her husband, Taylor Goldsmith. Wearing a mauve polka dot dress, Mandy sang “Only Hope” from A Walk to Remember, which immediately transported fans back to 2002.

If you happened to miss it, the heartwarming moment was captured by several viewers. The two-minute clip below is enough to prove that the singer/actress is as talented as ever.

Though originally performed by indie rock band Switchfoot, Mandy's rendition of "Only Hope" in the romantic drama popularized the song in the early 2000s. Those who remember the movie couldn't help but feel nostalgic after listening to Mandy's acoustic version nearly two decades later.

“I'm 12 again. I’m in love with Landon. I’m only gonna marry a man who gets a star named after me. Life was good,” one person wrote. “I love this!! Beautiful then and now!!” another added. “Mandy, her voice, the movie & this song. Always felt she never got the recognition she deserved at the time,” a different fan said.

There's nothing quite like going down memory lane to set you up for a good week!
