PotionCalvin Harris, Dua Lipa, Young Thug
Music producer Calvin Harris is an indispensable figure when talking about the EDM scene.
In 2022, he released “Potion,” featuring Dua Lipa and Young Thug—a deep track that evokes the sultry atmosphere of a summer night.
The funky beat, choppy rhythm guitar, and rolling bassline will get your body moving.
With its sophisticated, adult vibe, it’s perfect for summer night drives or dates.
Be sure to check out the music video, which showcases Dua Lipa’s coquettish vocals and dance, as well as Young Thug’s skillful rap.
Give this essential track for summer nights a listen.
Please MeCardi B & Bruno Mars
A track that reunites Cardi B and Bruno Mars, who created a buzz with their 2018 collaboration on “Finesse.” Released on February 15, 2019, the song is a Valentine’s-themed love track.
The title “Please Me” means “please satisfy me.” The music video depicts two people who meet after a party and fall in love.
GirlfriendCharlie Puth
Singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, known for his soothing voice, has gained widespread popularity.
He rose to international fame in 2014 after collaborating with Wiz Khalifa on the track “See You Again.” A song of his that’s perfect for summer is “Girlfriend,” which portrays the frustration of two people who like each other but are both too shy to move the relationship forward.
The melody carries a vibe reminiscent of early ’90s R&B.
Why not use it as a summer date song?
Taki Taki ft. Selena Gomez, Ozuna, Cardi BDJ Snake
A track that features a collaboration among members with Latin American roots: William Grigahcine, Cardi B, Selena Gomez, and the singer Ozuna.
The song blends Spanish and English in a reggaeton style.
The title phrase “Taki Taki” means “to sing and dance like crazy,” and the lyrics convey a sense of wild dancing.
The cool and sexy choreography is also a highlight!
Turn Down for WhatDJ Snake, Lil Jon
My first impression was that it’s an excellent song where rap and dance music are perfectly matched—a track that truly feels like Western pop.
The music has many comedic, laugh-inducing moments, which makes you want to watch it over and over.
It’s a flashy, summer-ready tune, so enjoy it with this song.
DogsIShowSpeed & Kai Cenat
Kai Cenat, who’s active as a YouTuber and rapper, teamed up with IShowSpeed to release “Dogs.” It’s a hard-hitting hip-hop track that likens their own momentum and hype to dogs.
The chorus samples the Baja Men’s classic “Who Let the Dogs Out,” making it an irresistible tune for fans of old-school vibes.
CoolJonas Brothers
They’re singing with a pumped-up vibe like, “We’ve been totally killing it lately!” As usual, it’s a bromance-y number sung between guys, and in the music video they dance in pastel, retro-pop fashion, blasting a vintage boombox on a summer Miami Beach straight out of the ’80s.
It feels like you’ve time-traveled into a dreamy, glamorous era.
They’re the Jonas Brothers, a pop-rock band from the United States made up of three brothers: the eldest Kevin, the middle Joe, and the youngest Nick.
