Summer is finally here and although everything is crazy with COVID-19 and things opening back up, summer playlists are essential. That being said, I can't be the only one who thinks that some of the best music was released when we were in middle school.

I have done you all the favor of compiling 30 songs from middle school mostly 2011-2013 to add to your summer playlists. I have included all genres that match bonfire vibes, beach vibes, sunset drive vibes, or any other summer vibe you can think of. Some are forgotten bangers others are classics, Enjoy!
