As the temperature rises and the days grow longer, it’s time to take out your swimsuit and vibe by the water with a playlist that matches the season. Whether you are lounging by the poolside, sunbathing at the beach, having a lazy afternoon or going to a late-night bonfire, the right music will elevate your summer days. I have handpicked ten songs that will add a splash of sonic sunshine to your summer. So, grab your sunglasses, turn up the volume, and get ready to groove to the rhythms of the hottest season of the year.

1. "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter

“I’m working late ’cause I’m a singer” that line has been stuck on everybody’s head lately. There’s something so sweet (or, should I say bitter?) about this song that makes it extremely addicting. The fast and upbeat tempo make it a perfect song to energize your summer days.

2. "Training Season" by Dua Lipa

Radical Optimism, in its entirety, is perfect for the summer but this song stands out to me. The production on this song is *chef’s kiss*. The catchy guitar loops and synths captivate your soul and transport it somewhere else. There’s something about her songs that I just can’t get enough of them.

3. "To The Moon" by Meghan Trainor

Meghan Trainor is back with yet another hit. This song has all the elements that make her songs unique and incredibly catchy, however, this one features an electronic chorus. The chorus differentiates it from anything else she has previously released and makes it incredibly refreshing.

4. "Miles On It" By Marshmello FT. Kane Brown

If you need a song to play while having a good time with your friends at the beach, this is the perfect one. Even if you’re not a fan of country music, this song will somehow end up on your playlist. It perfectly encapsulates what a summer day should feel like.

5. "Illusion" by Dua Lipa

Can you tell I’m a fan of her new album? Dua Lipa‘s always delivers with her releases and this song is not the exception. This song gives relaxed summery vibes and I’m here for it. The perfect song to listen to while on vacation. 

6. "Lovin On Me" By Jack Harlow

We all know this song from TikTok and, although it was released last November, it’s perfect for the summer. It has been criticized but nobody can deny this song is extremely fun and a catchy party banger.

7. "Exes" by Tate McRae

Tate McRae is here to show us that pop girls are BACK. This song is inspired by the early 2000s pop music and we’re here for it. “Exes” is playful, catchy and extremely addicting. Overall, it’s a certified bop that you need in your summer playlist.

8. "Texas Hold 'Em" by Beyoncé

Although this is a different sound than what we’re used to coming from her, Beyoncé still delivers with this song. “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” will make you want to get on your feet and groove to it. It is playful and refreshing AKA perfect for the summer.

9. "Wanna Be" by GloRilla ft. Megan Thee Stallion

This song is a little bit different than the rest of the songs on this playlist, however, it’s still a great song for the summer. GloRilla‘s chemistry with Megan Thee Stallion is extremely palpable in this track. The song has a fun energy that will elevate your summer parties.

10. "Party In The U.S.A." by Miley Cyrus

Is it really summer without this song? It might’ve come out in 2009 but it’s still a summer anthem and it will forever be one. This is the best song to scream your lungs out with your friends this and every summer.

From infectious beats that keep you dancing till dawn to songs that turn up the heat, each track adds its own unique flair to make your summer days and nights unforgettable. Now that you’ve got the ultimate summer playlist, gather your friends and make this the best summer yet. Dance on, rock out, and let the good times roll!
