School may be back in session, but warm weather isn't over quite yet. This playlist for September is the perfect combination of songs to listen to while walking to class, doing homework, working out, enjoying sunny weekend days and warm nights with friends.
1. "Anywhere" by Passenger
This upbeat song has a beachy vibe. Since beach days aren't long gone, it is the perfect song for the warm weather we enjoy in September.
2. "Repeat" by Young the Giant
If you have liked many of Young The Giant's other songs, this new one does not disappoint. It has a catchy beat and can be great in many settings during this time of year.
3. "Freakin' Me Out" by The Mowgli's
This super catchy song is what I like to listen to when working out because it's sounds so upbeat. Like "Anywhere" by Passenger, it also has a slight beachy vibe and would be great for pool parties or weekend jams.
4. "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" by Adele
You've probably already heard this song many times, but it is too great not to include in this mixtape. This is my favorite Adele song of all time! I've said it about many other songs but this one is seriously so catchy.
5. "Stubborn Love" by The Lumineers
This song isn't quite as upbeat as some of the others on this mixtape, but that's why it's a mixtape! It has some incredible lyrics like, "it's better to feel pain than nothing at all. The opposite of love is indifference."
6. "Shake, Shake, Shake" by Bronze Radio Return
This song just makes me want to dance! It has this vibe that's perfect for pumping you up a bit at the gym or even while you're doing homework. It's an older song, but not one I'd heard until recently.
7. "This Is Your Life" by The Killers
This Is Your Life, is another great song by The Killers. This one isn't as upbeat as some of their other songs, making it a perfect homework jam.
8. "Talk Too Much" by COIN
September is a month for tons of upbeat songs because the weather is still warm and if you're like me, these songs motivate you to get more things done. You can't just listen to this song and not want to get up and dance or workout or go for a drive with friends.
9. "Good Grief" by Bastille
Good Grief is another song you might've already heard and if not, I have a feeling this will be a really popular song soon! I think this one is such a great weekend jam.
10. "Nobody But Me" by Michael Bublé
I like a lot of Michael Bublé's songs, but even if you're not a huge fan, I think many people would like this one. This single is a bit of a departure from some of his other albums. It just has this extremely catchy beat that makes me want to dance.
11. "21 Summer" by Brothers Osborne
It's not one of my mixtapes without at least one country song. If you're not into country, you might still like this song because it's not twangy. This song is fitting because many of my friends are or have turned 21 recently and this song might relate to them. Even if you're not 21 (whether you're older, like me, or younger) this summer song might still relate to you.
12. "Middle Of A Memory" by Cole Swindell
For all the country music fans, you've probably been listening to Cole Swindell recently since he's had some hits. This is one of his newest upcoming songs. Besides it being relatable for college students when they're going out, the music video just came out.
13. "Song For Another Time" by Old Dominion
This fun country song talks about a vacation fling and living in the moment, instead of worrying about what happens when the trip is over. Old Dominion has a bunch of great country songs out right now, so I had to include them on here.
