This country song is very upbeat and it’s one of those songs that draws you in and makes you want to hear more of it. The song “Hotel Key” by old Dominion tells a cute story, one that most girls hope to have one day. My cousin Jay introduced me to this song in his truck over the Fourth of July. We were bringing chairs up from the beach and this song came on when we got into his truck. I remember listening to it the first time and thinking “that's a great song, play it again”, so sure enough we played the song several times. This song reminds me of bringing chairs up from the beach with the smell of sand filling the air.

She got the best of me, she broke my heart

Luke Combs

I listen to a wide variety of music, but when it comes to picking a favorite, country music is always my first pick. The song “She Got the Best of Me” by Luke Combs was my number one go to country song. The beat behind it, the lyrics, and Luke Combs amazing voice, make this song one of the best. While the song came out in early July, it was played in my car with the windows down, on the way to the beach, just about everyday. This song also reminds me of sitting on the beach with my mom just enjoying our bonding time.

My dad is truly a character, he’s very sweet and has the biggest hear, and when it comes to songs, he can alway pick out some good ones. He instantly fell in love with the song “Stir Fry” by Migos, after only hearing it one time. This Summer at my birthday party with all my friends, he decided to get up on the stage of the restaurant and dance to the song. My eighteenth birthday will never be forgotten, and that cool Summer night with the smell of cheesecake leaving with me.

Everybody!

Backstreet Boys

Pristine white sand, sky blue water, and the sun shining as bright as ever. Whenever the song “Everybody” by the Backstreet Boys comes on, this is what I see. Surrounded by my family, playing cornhole and the smell of sunscreen flowing in the air consistently. When the song comes on, we all stand up and yell “Everybody!” this is the happiest memory that I associate with Summer.

#everybody

A song that takes me back to my home roots. I was born in Americus, Georgia, and Luke Bryan who wrote “Huntin’, Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every Day” is not far from it. He references to a creek that my mom showed me, because that's where her and her friends always hung out at. While we moved into our new home, my mom would continuously play this song to remind her of her old home. Whenever this song comes on, I’m reminded of the hot Summer days moving into to the new house and singing about my hometown.

Bruno Mars

#mydadsfavline

An interesting title for a song, but one that is my dad’s favorite. My dad has always been a big fan of Bruno Mars, but when I introduced this song to him, his appreciation was taken to the next level for sure. “Chunky” by Bruno Mars has a funky beat behind it that makes you want to get up and move your feet. My dad performed this song at an open karaoke mic night, at this restaurant on the water. This song is a constant reminder of my dad embarrassing the hell out of me on a fun Summer night, one that I am for sure to never forget.

If you think I care about you now, well boy I don’t give a f*ck

Dua Lipa

The real title of this song is “I don’t give a f*ck” by Dua Lipa. Harleigh Price who is one of my best friends, played this song when my boyfriend broke up with me, which was at the very beginning of Summer. That day she picked me up and we went and got coffee from Waystation (aka) the best coffee on the planet. We sat there and laughed as she told me how I was better off without him. Whenever I thought about him, I would just turn on this song and it would all go away. This song now reminds me of the sweet smell of Waystation’s coffee, mixed with the summer air.

If anyone knows my music taste the best, it’s my best friend Madeline. Madeline had been my best friend since kindergarten and knows me inside and out. This summer she came and lived with my family and I for three weeks. The song “Homemade Dynamite” by Lorde was the first song we played using the Alexa in my house. The minute Madeline said “Alexa play Homemade Dynamite by Lorde” I knew it was going to be a song I would never forget. Later that day we rode our bikes down to the beach and played the song on repeat while we watched the sunset. Everytime I hear this song, I am reminded of Madeline and I watching the beautiful sunset, wishing our Summer days never had to end.

Friendship never ends

Spice Girls

I’ve known this song since I was about eight years old, I’ve memorized every line, and my sister Kaitlyn and I even have a dance to the song itself. “Wannabe” by the Spice Girls represents more than just a fun summer day, it represents the sweet bond with my sister, driving through the neighborhood with the windows and singing along with one another.

Acknowledgments: Thank you to every artist that created these wonderful songs that have given me a sweet and warm memory of Summer. Thank you to the people who celebrated summer with me and made it the best one possible. Special shoutout to my best friend Madeline, my other bff Harleigh, my cousin Jay, my sister Kaitlyn, and my parents Jennifer and Rich, I love yall so much and couldn’t do life without any of you.
