Algorithmic division is certainly a factor in why there isn\u2019t an obvious pick this year. Where have the songs like \u201cDespacito\u201d in 2017 or \u201cOld Town Road\u201d in 2019 gone? Last year, some even wondered if Alex Warren\u2019s \u201cOrdinary\u201d \u2014 a ballad, not a banger \u2014 qualified, a departure from the usual up-tempo, feel-good hits.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your summer mood or flavor, The Associated Press has found a song to soundtrack the season, collected in a Spotify playlist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biggest song of the year and therefore the default song of the summer: \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas,\u201d Ella Langley<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Ella Langley broke out just last year with the throwback, spoken-word track \u201cYou Look Like You Love Me,\u201d featuring Riley Green, but it\u2019s her breakup banger \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d that has made her a crossover country star. Not only has it spent more time at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 than any other song this year, it also has some of the most distinctive lyrics of the year. \u201cHe always loved \u2018Amarillo By Morning,&#8217;\u201d she sings in a particularly melancholic verse, referencing the George Strait classic. \u201cI should\u2019ve taken that as a warnin\u2019.\u201d Indeed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past champion: \u201cLuther,\u201d Kendrick Lamar and SZA (2025)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Song of the summer for when you lose the beef but still have fight left in ya: \u201cJanice STFU,\u201d Drake<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the better part of 2025, Drake mostly made headlines for his feud with Kendrick Lamar. It\u2019s safe to say he lost that war, but he\u2019s clearly not going anywhere; he\u2019s still one of the most streamed artists of all time. \u201cJanice STFU\u201d is the undeniable hit off May\u2019s \u201cIceman,\u201d with its familiar Lykke Li interpolation and moody production.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past champion: \u201cNokia,\u201d Drake (2025)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Song of the summer that shares a title with a film: \u201cMidnight Sun (Girls Trip),\u201d Zara Larsson and PinkPantheress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the title of a 2018 romantic drama starring Bella Thorne and a term used to describe regions around the Arctic Circle. But in 2026, the phrase \u201cMidnight Sun\u201d belongs to Swedish pop star Zara Larsson. It\u2019s the title of her last album and lead single, the inescapable Eurodance-pop \u201cMidnight Sun,\u201d with an elastic vocal performance. Last month, she released \u201cMidnight Sun: Girls Trip,\u201d a collection of remixes featuring everyone from Shakira and Robyn to Kehlani and rapper JT and, of course, PinkPantheress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past champion: \u201cBreakfast at Tiffany\u2019s,\u201d Deep Blue Something (1995)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Song of the summer for high-energy It Girls: \u201cDANCE\u2026,\u201d Slayyyter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s the \u201cWor$t Girl in America,\u201d if her cheeky album title is to be believed, but also one of pop\u2019s great new provocateurs. At the album\u2019s center is her buzzy electro-pop opus \u201cDANCE\u2026,\u201d perfect for those who\u2019ve been patiently awaiting her mainstream rise \u2014 and those who need a good excuse to hit the dance floor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past champion: \u201cBad Girls,\u201d Donna Summer (1979)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Song of the summer for the throwback crowd: \u201cI Just Might,\u201d Bruno Mars<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, hitmaker Bruno Mars returned with his first new album in 10 years, anchored by the feel-good, disco-pop-soul single \u201cI Just Might.\u201d The throwback tune is a funky reprieve from slow or boring days \u2014 and one that will be heard on wedding dance floors for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past champion: \u201cRed Red Wine,\u201d UB40 (1983)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Song of the summer that arrived at the beginning of the year: \u201cDracula (Jennie Remix)\u201d, Tame Impala and Jennie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a long tradition of the song of the summer arriving at the top of the year \u2014 looking at you, \u201cdrivers license\u201d and \u201cBoy\u2019s a Liar PT. 2.\u201d This year, the title goes to Tame Impala\u2019s \u201cDracula\u201d \u2014 particularly the remix with Blackpink\u2019s Jennie. \u201cRun from the sunlight, Dracula,\u201d they harmonize, in a vocal melody inescapable on TikTok and in the real world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past champion: \u201cNUEVAYoL,\u201d Bad Bunny (2025)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Song of the summer for those looking for a club classic: \u201cCh\u00e9vere (premium_remix),\u201d by Aria Vega and Ryan Castro<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A club-ready contender for song of the summer should be easy, breezy and amorous. Such is the case of Aria Vega and Ryan Castro\u2019s \u201cCh\u00e9vere (premium_remix),\u201d where reimagined, romantic reggaeton is perfect for a house party or finding the love of your life. Ideally both.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past champion: \u201cBreak My Soul,\u201d Beyonc\u00e9 (2022)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Song of the summer for people who know the power of a good bridge: \u201cThe Cure,\u201d Olivia Rodrigo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the lead up to her career-best album, \u201cYou seem pretty sad for a girl so in love,\u201d Olivia Rodrigo released \u201cThe Cure.\u201d It marked a giant step forward for the young songwriter, with dreamy guitars, orchestral strings and most impactful of all: its explosive bridge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past champion: \u201cHollaback Girl,\u201d Gwen Stefani (2005)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Song of the summer for people who love music, fashion and film in equal measure: \u201cSS26,\u201d Charli xcx<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So long, \u201cBRAT.\u201d The contemporary pop landscape\u2019s preeminent party girl is in for a bummer of a summer. \u201cSS26,\u201d one of the first tracks released from Charli xcx\u2019s forthcoming \u201cMusic, Fashion, Film,\u201d is shockingly minimalistic, with little more than distorted guitar riffs and production that sounds like a simple Casio keyboard preset. It\u2019s rock music, as she\u2019s promised \u2014 but done her own way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past champion: \u201cRhinestone Cowboy,\u201d Glen Campbell (1975)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Song for people who live like it\u2019s summer year-round: \u201cE85,\u201d Don Toliver<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the highway with my significant lover (I love),\u201d the singer-songwriter-rapper Don Toliver declares with ease in the chorus of \u201cE85.\u201d \u201cHigh octane, more fuel for your consumption.\u201d If there is an image more primed for the hot summer months than rolling down the freeway on a trip with a loved one, we have yet to see it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past champion: \u201cMi Gente,\u201d J Balvin and Willy William (2017)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Song of the summer for seaside dreamers: \u201cSwim,\u201d BTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The game-changing K-pop boy band BTS returned after a nearly four-year musical hiatus with \u201cARIRANG.\u201d The comeback was led by \u201cSwim,\u201d a reserved, alt-pop track that brings a kind of intimacy to their stadium-sized output. The \u201cSwim\u201d here is metaphorical \u2014 as is the \u201cdive\u201d in its chorus \u2014 of having a crush, but the aquatic language works in conjuring dreamy, poolside imagery, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past champion: \u201cWaterfalls,\u201d TLC (1995)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Song of the summer for the yearners: \u201cRaindance,\u201d Dave ft. Tems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>British rapper Dave and Nigerian singer Tems team up for the Afroswing single \u201cRaindance,\u201d a sweet, sexy song about wanting to lock things down. \u201cHold me close, don\u2019t tell me goodnight \/ Are you down to get me?\u201d the pair dreamily duet on the second verse. \u201cTell me when you\u2019re ready, I\u2019m ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past champion: \u201cNineteen,\u201d Tegan and Sara (2007)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Song of the summer for the sports crowd: \u201cDai Dai,\u201d Shakira and Burna Boy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This summer is all about soccer, so, of course, we had to include one of the official songs for the 2026 FIFA World Cup: \u201cDai Dai.\u201d The Colombian superstar Shakira and Afrobeats icon Burna Boy team up on an energetic, undeniably global pop track. It exists at the intersection of all their strengths: Afrobeats and Latin rhythms, separate, complementary verses and a strong chorus about unity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Past champion: \u201cThe Final Countdown,\u201d Europe (1986)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Song of the summer for those ready to stop feuding and enjoy life again: \u201cHorses &amp; Divorces,\u201d Kacey Musgraves and Miranda Lambert<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Look, there\u2019s no shortage of great songs from Kacey Musgraves\u2019 latest album, \u201cMiddle of Nowhere.\u201d A case could be made to include \u201cMexico Honey\u201d or \u201cDry Spell\u201d here, but what about a song with norte\u00f1o accordions and slide guitar that doubles as a cheeky punchline to a fight? The capital-c country \u201cHorses &amp; Divorces\u201d brings musicians\u2019 feud to an end over a shared love of drinking and Willie Nelson.
