8 Best Songs Of The Summer
Averie Woodard

The key to hosting a successful get together or a lively car ride is having the ultimate summer playlist. With an abundance of funky tunes that make us break out our killer dance moves and obnoxious singing voices, we are guaranteed to have a summertime filled with satisfying memories. Being the huge music fanatic that I am, people can always catch me streaming my Spotify playlists or jamming to the radio while driving. With that being said, check out a few of my favorite summertime tunes (so far) that will spread nothing but the greatest of vibes.

1. “Better” by Lil Yachty and Stefflon Don

With a reggae vibe and some meaningful lyrics, this song is perfect for the summertime. Essentially, this song stresses the importance of not settling less for than what you deserve, not just romantically, but during life in general. Plus, Lil Yachty’s voice is pleasant and soothing in this song, and this track definitely stands out amongst the rest of the songs he has created in the past.

2. “Slide” by Calvin Harris, Frank Ocean and Migos

All three of the artists that have collaborated on this track already have already reached success as individual artists. However, this collaboration is one to definitely check out for this summer. Personally, I have been a Frank Ocean fan for quite some time, so when he released his new album Blonde last year, I was ecstatic. Now that he has continued dropping various singles of his own or working with other artists, his talent really deserves to be recognized. Plus, I love how Calvin Harris music makes you want to dance 24/7!

3. “Rolling” by Calvin Harris, Future and Khalid

To be honest, this song is my guilty pleasure. Once again, Calvin Harris creates some incredible beats throughout the entire course of this song. Khalid has one of the most angelic and satisfying voices that I have ever heard within the music industry, making him one of my all-time favorite artists.

4. “Told You So” by Paramore

Paramore is making a comeback, especially with this brand new single off of their newly released album! In the past, this group has catered to the pop-punk and teen angst phase that many pre-teens went through. However, this song has more of a funky and retro vibe to it, making it super upbeat.

5. “Malibu” by Miley Cyrus

Apparently 2017 is the “comeback year,” and Miley Cyrus has joined that song. With her new hit single, Miley Cyrus sings her way through a story of romance. This tune gives off beachy vibes and would be perfect to listen to while lounging on the beach.

6. "8TEEN" by Khalid

Like I mentioned before, Khalid has a voice that is truly one-of-a-kind. Being an uprising star within the music industry, Khalid has cultivated an incredible album, resulting in a huge fan base! This song is on his debut album, and it is definitely one of the most upbeat tracks on there.

7. “That’s What I Like” by Bruno Mars

Even though this song is already regularly played on the radio, it is definitely something catchy. With the unique vocals of Bruno Mars, he is continuously able to create new hit tracks that everyone loves to sing, especially when driving in the car.

8. "I'm The One" by DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper, Quavo and Lil Wayne

Well isn’t this collaboration just impressive? All of these artists working together to create this hit was an absolute success because this song contains a little bit of everything, so it can easily appeal to a large fan base. Plus, can we just take a moment to appreciate the evolution of Justin Bieber’s vocals? He is phenomenal.


With music being one of the most universal things for people to bond over and share a common interest in, I can easily assure you that these tunes are worth adding to your playlist for this summer. So what are you waiting for? Check out some of these tunes, share them with your friends and have the greatest summer of your life!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
