With summer on its way, the most important part is the music. Listening to your favorite songs while laying poolside, on a boat in the lake, or late night drives with your friends makes summer euphoric. With the past two years being more restricted with COVID protocols and all that went on, everyone is looking to the summer of 2022 to make up for lost time and make everything as “normal” as possible. What better way to get the summer days started than music? This playlist is a mix of top hits, pop music, throwbacks, and fun songs to listen to while enjoying your summer nights with friends.
Mr. Rager- Kid Cudi
Kid Cudi’s Mr. Rager is the perfect way to make you feel like partying without being at a party. This 2010 song is the perfect way to get you in an energetic mood.
Hard Times- Paramore
This catchy pop song has been playing since 2017, when it was released. Paramore made this song to remind you to let the hard times go.
