Long car ride? Reading outside? Just chilling? No problem. This song is great to just zone out to (unless you’re on the road) and enjoy.

This song has the power to automatically brighten up my mood no matter what. It’s perfect for summer because the upbeat energy matches everything that summer is all about.

The upbeat song recently featured in Neighbors is ideal for the “Getting Ready” playlist before going out with all your friends.

An oldie, but goodie. This song is perfect for the car ride to the beach with friends.

 

6.         What Time Is It by High School Musical 2 Cast

This song is absolutely necessary in every summer playlist. The classic High School Musical 2 jam that we all screamed at the top of our lungs in middle school continues to be the pre-summer anthem. If you don’t know every single word, what is your childhood?

 

7.         My House by Flo Rida

The classic. Not only does my roommate play this every single time before going out, but when you’re with your friends singing this at the top of your lungs in the warm summer air, it will be awesome.
