Seven Songs That Should Be On Your Summer Playlist (Or Already Are)

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

Tongue Tied – Grouplove 

Grouplove came out with their new album, “Never Trust a Happy Song” about a year ago and Tongue Tied is finally getting the radio play it deserves. The song’s catchy chorus and fast, upbeat tempo make it easy to see why.


Still Young – Neon Trees

You probably have heard Neon Trees’ single “Everybody Talks”, and this song off the same album. With its relatable message and classic rock sound this song makes unrequited love almost sound fun.

Starry Eyed – Ellie Goulding

British singer Ellie Goulding hit it big in the US this summer with her song “Lights” and “Starry Eyed”. The song is easy and fun to sing to, making it perfect to have on in the background when getting ready to go out with your friends.


How To Be a Heartbreaker – Marina and The Diamonds

Techno beats and edgy feminist lyrics, what more could you want from an album? Imagine if Lana Del Rey and Cascada had a baby, this song would be it.

Good Time – Owl City & Carly Rae Jepson

Owl City and Carly Rea Jepson collaboration is exactly what we have come to expect from these artist: catchy, shallow, and incredibly addicting. I dare you to not sing along.


 

Out On the Town – Fun.

“I haven’t heard ‘We Are Young’ in a while,” said no one ever. If you are getting annoyed with the constant replay of a once great single, check out this song.

Settle Down – No Doubt

No Doubt is back and I couldn’t be happier. With relatable lyrics, -“I’m Fine (and nothing’s gonna knock this girl down), It’s kind of complicated that’s for sure. But you can see it in my eyes, You can read it on my lips, I’m trying to get a hold on this.” – No Doubt has successfully made an anthem for the suffocation we all feel in times of struggle.
