Technically, there are still a few weeks left of summer in my area, but with days getting shorter and back-to-school looming around the corner, we’re quickly transitioning to fall.
With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to look back at the past few months and determine my ultimate 2025 summer playlist. I used to do this for previous years because I’ve always loved the idea of a “song of summer.” These songs aren’t necessarily my favorite ones released during the season or even the ones I’ve listened to the most, but they’re the tracks that remind me most of the summer season.
Below are thirteen of my top “song of summer” candidates and at the very bottom I’ll pick my number one choice for this year. Make sure to include your own choices in the comments!
