10. "Crazy in Love" - Beyonce

Let's begin with a song that hasn't even truly been released yet. Ever since the trailer for Fifty Shades of Grey came out, there has been so much talk about Beyonce's sexual remake of her hit song "Crazy in Love." While it might not even come out before summer is over, it still has the talk of the town.
9. "This is How We Do" - Katy Perry

I have a prediction that this is going to be one of those Katy Perry songs that everyone thinks is weird and kind of annoying at first, but then it plays on the radio, like, a million times and everyone loves it a week later.
8. "Lie a Little Better" - Lucy Hale

The PLL star turned country singer provides a little bit of a country twang to a poppy song. It's super upbeat and fun to yell/sing in the car with the girls.
7. "Don't" - Ed Sheeran

Ed's new album came out and as an always and forever Sheeran fan, I love it all! I found this is a great song to cruise to or just chill with friends. It's laid back, but upbeat and as always, the lyrics are like the perfect combination of words. I don't know how he does it, but you should just go check out all his music.
6. "Bartender" - Lady Antebellum

If you couldn't tell from my other post, I am obsessed with this song and its music video. It's a little slower paced, but it has great harmony making it appealing to the ear and it's summer! Who doesn't want to hit the bar at the end of the day (whether you're dealing with a break up or not...)?
5. "Can't Blame a Girl for Trying" - Sabrina Carpenter

So this song came out in March, but Carpenter made her debut as the rebellious Maya in Girl Meets World in June, so I am counting this as a summer song. While there are some of us (cough, cough, me) who will never stop loving Disney no matter what direction they go in, this song proves to me that they're taking their stars in the right direction. She has a great voice and it's an adorable age appropriate video, plus the song is too cute!
4. "Day Drinking" - Little Big Town

This is the epitome of summertime. Don't want to wait for the weekend to do a little day drinking. Perfect song for floating on the river or just sitting on the front porch with the sunshine warming your beer.
3. "Sunshine and Whisky" - Frankie Ballard

Let's face it: country music kind of always dominates the summer music war. This song came out in February, but it fits perfectly with summer and even some country fans didn't discover it until the sun came out. But it's magic and will make you want to venture down south and drive on an old country road with a cowboy.
2. "Really Don't Care" - Demi Lovato ft. Cher Lloyd

This is a classic "I'm over you" song and the title does more than well enough conveying the emotions behind it. You hit that wall and you're just like, "you know what? I really don't care!" Loving Demi's whole new album, but this song was a standout for me and you might not have heard it! BONUS: Isn't this lyric video adorable? I would be stoked to be one of those people Demi surprised!
1. "All About That Bass" - Meghan Trainor

This song is so catchy and fun and just an overall great empowerment song. You will fall in love with Trainor after you listen to this, and then you'll listen to this about 3,000 times because it will get stuck in your head and it's amazing! She should have dropped a mic at the end because this song, for me, is the most underrated song of the summer!
