So, last year I put together a playlist for you guys but this year I decided to do something a little differently and give you a few songs from different artists that are definitely creating the sounds of the summer.
Simon Says – Megan Thee Stallion ft. Juicy J
It is truly a “Hot Girl” summer this year and this is the theme song for it. I love Meg and I love Juicy J so when I saw this one on the tracklist for her album Fever I knew I’d be a fan. This one is good for riding in the car or partying with friends, a bop for sure.
Old Town Road (Remix) – Lil Nas X (Billy Ray Cyrus)
Let’s be honest, this is probably on a lot of people’s playlists already because it’s a hit so I really don’t have much to say about this particular track.
Before I Let Go (Remix) – Beyonce
Is the original version a classic? Yes. Will we still be blasting this at all cookouts from here on out? Yes. It literally COMES with a line dance. We love it.
Act Up – City Girls
We are officially bringing the song of the spring into the summer because it slaps, PERIOD. (PS. Free JT)
Roof – Rico Nasty
We should all know from last year’s playlist that I love me some Rico so you should’ve expected that she’d make it back on the list this year. Yelling along to Rico is a form of self-care I promise.
Sucker – Jonas Brothers
The Jonas Brothers making a comeback is extremely important to this millennial/Gen Z cusper and Sucker is a bop that I can’t let go of I love singing along to it with my friends or in the car by myself.
Tempo – Lizzo ft. Missy Elliott
Lizzo just makes the hits and Tempo is a summer hit that makes you want to dance along.
I Been – Ari Lennox
This one is a song that’s good for a chill vibe but it’s still a great one for the summer because everything doesn’t have to be hype.
Sunflower – Post Malone & Swae Lee
This track is from the greatest animated movie of all time, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse and it’s so bright and positive how could it not be on your summer playlist!
thank u, next – Ariana Grande
This song is coming with us into the summer, it screams summer hit.
you should see me in a crown – Billie Eilish
This is one of those songs that just has to be blasted. It’s not a traditional summer song but it is a great addition to your playlist so it’s not too monotonous.
Middle Child – J. Cole
It slaps, it’s fun, you can rap along, what else can I say?
What are your top songs for the summer? Let me know in the comments!

The students at my school love Old Town Road. I’ve heard it so much lately.
People love hating on Beyonce’s version of “Before I Let Go,” but I think it’s a bop. I love the original too though.
