For your road trip
One of the best parts of the 4th of July is hitting the beach. Of course, you, your friends, your family and everyone else in your state all have the same idea. Because it’s a holiday weekend, you know you’re going to hit traffic at some point. To make your drive a little less misreable, keep this playlist on hand. It has all of your favorite jams, perfect for singing along. So roll down the windows and rock on!
BBQ with family
Hot dogs, hamburgers and awesome tunes; what could be better? 4th of July is basically an excuse to barbeque with family members you haven’t seen all year. You’ll be the life of the party with this diverse playlist, with favorites you and your cousins love, plus some old school goodies for your parents, aunts and uncles.
Going out with friends
Whether you’re going to a house party or whether you’ll be bar-hopping, this is the perfect playlist for a night out. It’s great for dancing and singing at the top of your lungs, guaranteed to make some unforgettable summer memories.
Rocking out in the morning
Our parents love to tell us about “when music was better in the good old days.” Well, if you’ve ever listened to classic rock, you can see where they’re coming from. If not, give it a chance! You’ll be surprised how many classics you know, and they’re feel-good songs that you and your parents can rock out to over breakfast.
Beach day jams
If you don’t go to the beach (and Instagram something), did you even celebrate 4th of July? This weekend is the ideal opportunity to relax, unwind and soak up some sun! Paired with this chill playlist, you’ll enjoy the sand and surf all day long.
Poolside chilling
If you can’t make it to the beach, hopefully you’ll get to lie out by the pool! And what says summer chilling better than some country music? There’s always a handful of country songs dedicated to America, making it the perfect playlist for this weekend. Whether you’re a fan of Luke Bryan or not, country music is great way to get in the summer mood.

No matter whether you’re visiting friends, catching up with family or hanging with your SO, everyone loves a good throwback playlist. These songs are guaranteed to bring you right back to your childhood, and we’re certain you still know all the words.
