“About Damn Time” by Lizzo

This one needs no explanation as to why it’s on our playlist, but we’ll give it to you anyways! Lizzo is the queen of summer bops. “Truth Hurts” and “Good as Hell” were our soundtracks to previous summers, so we’re not surprised that her newest hit would leave us in a sunshine filled mood! This song makes you feel good and want to groove, two summertime necessities!

“10 Things I Hate About You” by Leah Kate

Imagine you’re driving on a sunny day with the windows rolled down, and you and your best friends are screaming the chorus to this absolutely amazing song! Every season needs a heartbreak anthem, and this song is it!

“It’s Givin” by Latto

Need a burst of energy? “It’s Givin” literally gives it to you! Latto kills it with the beat and the lyrics in this song once again. Play this at any summer party to get the crowd moving, and it will definitely get the job done!

“Light Switch” by Charlie Puth

Puth is a musical genius, and this song proves it again. We love this song, especially for summer! It’s the perfect tempo and rhythm. It’s upbeat yet chill at the same time!

“Vegas” Doja Cat

We’re obsessed with all of Doja’s major bangers, and this song is no exception. It’s making our 2022 summer playlist for sure! The song is beyond catchy and overall fun to listen to. It’s perfect to play in the background for any summer activity. Plus, listening to “Vegas” on repeat means you’ll be ready for the song when “Elvis” comes out in theaters on June 24th!

“SUPERMODEL” by Måneskin

The guitar intro mixed with the raspy voice gets you automatically hyped up, and the rest of the song follows the exciting and dangerous feeling vibe. It’s also a big confidence booster and the perfect song to jam out to before hitting the town with your friends!

“As it was” by Harry Styles

Taking a softer approach, Styles’ nostalgic melody is perfect for summer time. It’s the best song to listen to while relaxing by the pool or sitting by a campfire. The lyrics are easy to catch on to, and its calming vibe instantly fills you with a sentimental feeling about your own childhood summers.

MAMII by Becky G and Karol G

We just want to get up and dance when we hear this song. It’s guaranteed to lift the energy of the room up. Summer is about having fun and enjoying the moment which is exactly what the artists accomplish through this song!

“N95” by Kendrick Lamar

Lamar is in his comeback era, and we’re excited for it! This song came out right in time for everyone to enjoy it through the next couple of months.

“Late Night Talking” Harry Styles

Styles makes the list again because this song is so different from his others. The upbeat, jazzy tone is everything we need for summer.

“Heatwaves” by Glass Animal

Even the title itself is perfect for your summer playlist! Taking a swim in the pool or laying out on the beach? You’ll be completely relaxed and feel stress free. Or if you’re stuck inside, this song will still give you all those beachy feels!

Whether you’re a playlist junkie or are just getting into creating them, we hope this list gives you some ideas!
