Summertime should be synonymous with country music! This season, whether you're spending the days of warm weather and blue skies chilling poolside, working hard to make some money, or otherwise, be sure to check these songs out. This genre always produces some of the catchiest jams to listen to during the summer! Be sure to add these essential country jams to your playlist.
"Tequila" by Dan + Shay
Dan + Shay are two of country's most promising vocalists, and their 2018 release, "Tequila," is a pure demonstration of their talent. The two told The Boot, "Instead of writing a feel-good, up-tempo kind of thing, we were like, 'Let's go to the Dan + Shay wheelhouse: nostalgia zone!' We used the idea of tequila as a trigger to go back to a relationship and get really specific with the details, really tell a story." The result is a sweet yet nostalgic song that is sure to stun listeners.
"Die A Happy Man" by Thomas Rhett
Even though this song is several years old and is extremely popular, no country playlist can truly be complete without it. Back in 2015 when the song first came out, Rhett told The Boot, "There's a song on the record called 'Die a Happy Man' that I hope one day becomes a lot of people's wedding songs. It's a super, super, super love song. I wrote it about my wife." Is there anything sweeter than that? I don't think so either.
"Somebody's Heartbreak" by Hunter Hayes
This song is adorable and hopelessly romantic. It has a youthful, lighthearted vibe and Hayes' catchy lyrics will stick in your head hours after the song has ended. "We made it about hey, if you're going to break somebody's heart, I want to be the somebody," Hayes told Taste of Country.
"Heartache on the Dance Floor" by Jon Pardi
If you're looking for the perfect tune to jam out to while having friends over for a Fourth of July BBQ, this is definitely the one! This upbeat song just sounds like summer. Pardi told Billboard, "It moves. It's got that cool beat, and you can see the crowd just start dancing when that beat drops, when that first chorus comes in. I see it all the time. There's something cool about it." This song will have you dancing with your pals all night long.
"Like I Loved You" by Brett Young
Nothing is better than listening to this jam while driving through your hometown on a warm night with the windows rolled down and the music blaring. Nothing. It's personal and grabs at the heartstrings. According to The Boot, though Young and his co-writer initially struggled with writing this song, a lunch conversation between the two helped solidify what the song should speak on, and the rest is history. "Once you identify exactly what it is you want to say, it falls out fast," Young said. "It's figuring out what you want to say that takes a while."
