- (Sittin’ on the) Dock of the Bay’ by Otis Redding. Okay, so this lazy-day masterpiece, recorded mere days before Redding’s death in a plane crash, doesn’t specifically single out that it takes place during summertime.
- Under the Boardwalk’ by the Drifters. This song is deceptively simple – there aren’t many verses, and there’s a pretty long instrumental interlude right in the middle – but few tunes are as evocative of summer as this one.
- Summertime’ by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Before rushing the stage at the Oscars and proving himself the ultimate Wife Guy, Will Smith just wanted to kick it in the park in a Speed Racer shirt with half the population of Philadelphia around him and reminisce about chasing girls, driving slow and eating barbecue at the family reunion.
- Summer in the City’ by the Lovin’ Spoonful. The Lovin’ Spoonful begins its brilliant rock portrait of urban mood swings in a prelude of pent-up anticipation.

The title track off of “Barbie,” last summer’s runaway blockbuster movie, Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night” is the essential song to kick off your summer songs playlist and promises to instantly get everyone feeling those happy summer vibes.
Without a doubt, “Cowboy Carter” is going to be thedefining album of the Summer of ‘24. Grab your cowboy hat and get ready to line dance to Queen Bey’s “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey team up on this head-bobbing single that practically begs to be played at full volume in the car. Windows all the way down, naturally.
Ed Sheeran wants to be that guy who kisses your eyes and drinks your smile and he talks all about it in his 2021 hit “Shivers,” a high-energy song that’ll have everyone singing along.
If ever a song evoked feelings of basking in the glow of warm sunshine, it’s Harry Styles song “Golden.” A cut off Styles’ 2019 album, “Fine Line,” this song is doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, good.
The Kylie Minogue hit, “Padam Padam” is earworm if there ever was one. What does it mean? During a 2023 appearance on TODAY, Minogue confirmed that it represents the sound of a beating heart and its infectious rhythm will have you tapping your toes along to the beat. Padam, padam.
What’s summer if not one big long holiday? Madonna’s 1983 hit single”Holiday” is the eternal ode to taking a well-deserved break tand bringing back all of those happy days.
Another Dua Lipa hit makes the summer songs cut (with more to come). With its ‘80s-inspired synth line and high-energy beat, this single is, dare we say, pure magic.
This timeless classic by Seals & Crofts evokes thoughts of warm summer days spent lazing by the pool or catching some rays at the beach. “Summer Breeze” makes us feel fine.
Here’s what happens when Latto brings her energy to Mimi’s 1995 hit, “Fantasy.” If you can only picture Pedro Pascal dancing to this tune, you’ve officially watched way too much TikTok.

- The Beach Boys, "California Girls" Before Katy Perry was a twinkle in her dad's eye, The Beach Boys delivered the ultimate ode to summer and the babes who relish in it with "California Girls."
- Alice Cooper, "School's Out" Whether you're thrilled about this as a kid or dreading it as a parent, Alice Cooper's classic is sure to be stuck in your head every June.
- The Lovin' Spoonful, "Summer in the City" The only thing better than a lazy summer day is a steamy summer night.
- The Go-Gos, "Vacation" Props to this all-girl band for making one of the most enduring summer songs ever, thanks to its classic and simple hook: "Vacation, all I ever wanted / Vacation, have to get away."
- "The Boys of Summer," Don Henley (1984) Don Henley was 37 when he released "The Boys of Summer," a meditation on his transition into middle age co-written with Heartbreaker Mike Campbell.
- "Summer in the City," The Lovin' Spoonful (1966) You can practically smell the city in the Lovin' Spoonful's No. 1 hit from summer 1966. From the honking horns to the busy, sweaty pace at which the song travels, "Summer in the City" sounds like both a celebration and a lament.
- "School's Out," Alice Cooper (1972) With "School’s Out," Alice Cooper captures one of the greatest annual traditions of any kid's life: the end of the last day of school.
- "Vacation," The Go-Go's (1982) For music supervisors, "Vacation" is the gift that keeps on giving: Over the years, the Go-Go’s’ breezy new wave hooks have soundtracked an absurd number of road trip and party scenes, from gleefully foul-mouthed sitcoms (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) to comedy documentaries where people annihilate their bodies for laughs (Jackass 4.5).
