Songs of the Summer for Your Beach Day Playlist

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at South Carolina chapter.

Your beach day playlist can make or break your time in the sun, so we’ve compiled a list of must-have tunes for you to listen to this summer! We’ve even added all these songs to our very own Spotify playlist, so head to the beach and get your summertime feels on.

1. “One Dance” by Drake, Wizkid, and Kyla

Drake’s latest hit is a hip-hop song with international feels, making it the perfect addition to your playlist!

2. “Can’t Stop the Feeling” by Justin Timberlake

This is JT’s first hit in the past three years, and it’s making everyone everywhere get up and dance!

3. “Toothbrush” by DNCE

The makers of “Cake By The Ocean” are back with a song that’s just as upbeat and fun, but not yet as overplayed!

4. “Kings of Summer” by ayokay feat. Quinn XCII

With talk of long summer nights and young love, this song is a must-have on your beach playlist!

5. “No Money” by Galantis

Galantis is killing the radio with this fun hit, which serves as a reminder for us to stand up for ourselves! Fun fact: the lyrics were co-written by 10-year-old Reece Bullimore and his dad!

6. “Somewhere On a Beach” by Dierks Bentley

Because it just wouldn’t be a true Southern summer playlist without a good country song!

7. “Adventure of a Lifetime” by Coldplay

This song has captivated our hearts since Coldplay performed at the Super Bowl with Queen Bey!

8. “Millionaire” by Cash Cash and Digital Farm Animals feat. Nelly

A recent addition to Spotify, this song truly captivates how we feel at the beach: “like a millionaire.”

9. “Fast Car – Radio Edit” by Jonas Blue and Dakota

A remake of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” this hit is slow enough to keep you in your state of meditation, but upbeat enough to mesh with the rest of this upbeat playlist!

10. “Don’t Mind” by Kent Jones

The beach vibes in this song are undisputable. It takes you on a tropical vacation around the world, with Spanish, Japanese, and Haitian references!
