10 Songs You Need on Your Spring Break Playlist

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

The countdown to spring break is on! Whether you’re taking a cruise to a sunny island or road-tripping with your besties, there are a few essentials you can’t forget. Sunglasses? Check. More clothes than any person could ever need for one week? Check. Cell phone charger? Check. Awesome playlist to put on repeat? Don’t worry if you forgot about that one, I’ve got you covered.

Just Hold On by Steve Aoki & Louis Tomlinson

This is my favorite song right now, but that’s not why it’s on this playlist. Between Louis Tomlinson’s (yes, that guy from One Direction) perfect high notes and Steve Aoki’s head-bopping beat, you’ve got a song that you’re guaranteed to want to play over and over again.

Paradise (On Earth) by Cris Cab

This song is pretty mellow, but it still has enough of a beat to make you want to shake your hips.

Real Life by Jake Owen

This is a country song, but hear me out, you’ll love it. It’s more pop than country and every second of it is feel-good and catchy as hell. You’ll know every word by the seventh time you’ve replayed it.

Clarity (feat. Foxes) by Zedd

A few years back, this song dominated the radio stations for good reason. It’s got a great beat, lyrics that you can belt out to your steering wheel and it’s one of those songs that you don’t mind if five different radio stations are playing it simultaneously.

The Sound of Sunshine by Michael Franti & Spearhead

This song perfectly captures all the elements of a #goodvibes, feel-good song. There’s lyrics that will make you smile and a cheery tune you won’t be able to resist tapping your feet along to.

All About Us by Jordan Fisher

With Jordan’s smooth voice and the hypnotizing melody, this song will have you swaying from side to side with the rhythm.

In the Name of Love by Martin Garrix & Bebe Rexha

We all know and love Martin Garrix, but what about Bebe Rexha? Her vocals are ah-mazing. Combined with Garrix’s trance-like beat, this song is a must-have on your playlist.

Overload by Life of Dillon

The best way to describe this song is pop meets EDM. The upbeat melody of this tune is sure to have you dancing every time it plays!

All We Need (feat. Shy Girls) [Dzeko & Torres Remix] by ODESZA

If any song from this list is guaranteed to make you want to dance, it’s this one. Enough said.

Wasted (feat. Matthew Koma) by Tiësto

This is it. The unofficial spring break anthem. You know and love this song and no feel-good playlist is complete without it.
