Summer is the season for spending time with friends and family. Getting out of work early, going to the park, the beach or just a BBQ at home. What songs make you think of summer?
We’ve been blessed with some iconic summer songs over the years, so much so that we almost take the art form for granted.
Summer soundtracks and anthems have been around for generations. The classic summer jams are great, But I like New Music. So, to help you get that summer feeling, I’ve compiled some of the best summertime songs from 2022 and recent years.

love the list! Time to update my playlist.
This list has really made me smile, because although it’s new music it feels like a cool cousin from the early noughties. So many of these tracks will be played on REPEAT at all the Freshers nights, getting everyone on the dancefloor.
