No summer is complete without the perfect song. With Memorial Day right around the corner —marking the season’s unofficial start—we’ve rounded up some choice tunes that might find their way onto this summer’s playlist.
We’ve managed to narrow it down to thirteen: some that are already being played on the radio and others that you’ll hear soon, probably over and over and over again. But only one of these can be the winner.
Give each song a listen and vote for your favorite below. Then check back to find out which one is crowned the official song of summer.
