Songs You Need to Add to Your Ultimate Summer Playlist

You can smell the blooming flowers on the wind, your sunroof and windows are rolled down in your Ford, and it’s finally warm enough to justify your iced coffee addiction: it’s summer! We have been patiently waiting for warmer weather and we are so happy it is finally on the way. With a new season, you’ll need new music to get you ready for the warmer weather. Here are a few of our favorite lesser-known tracks that will be perfect to jam to.

“Getaway Car” by Taylor Swift

 

Like her or love her, there is no denying that Taylor Swift knows how to write addictive and catchy music. As the nights start to get shorter and the sunsets get more pink you’ll need a song to blast as you take on the night. Start driving and this song will hit the spot.

 

Favorite lyric: “Think about the place where you first met me/ We’re ridin’ in a getaway car.”

 

 

This is music made for Saturday nights with friends. The infectious drums, cool vocals, and super empowering lyrics built this song for warm and happy weather.

 

Favorite lyric: “I wanna see you sing, I wanna see you fight.”

 

 

Pack your Ford up for a trip up into the mountains and start getting lost in our beautiful state. This song will fill you with wanderlust and good energy to start off your summer vacation. 

 

Favorite lyric: “Just because I’m losing/ doesn’t mean I’m lost/ doesn’t mean I’ll stop.”

 

 

Infectious, upbeat pop is essential for summer. Shake off the winter blues with this amazing song about falling in love and letting it take you away. You’ll love these 80s-inspired rhythms playing on your sound system all season.

 

Favorite lyric: “So let’s forget all the others, babe/ I just want another good night full of mistakes.”

“Kill for Candy” by DREAMCAR

 

Here’s another song full of 80s nostalgia that you will love to sing along to! This new wave band from Los Angeles will give you so many great songs as we transition into summer. 

 

Favorite lyric: “What’s on our tongues is less discreet/ Before it dissolves, it’s oh so sweet.”
