Have you got your summer holiday booked? Are the suitcases packed? If you’ve organised everything except your travel playlist, I’ve got a few ideas to help you really get into that all-inclusive-sipping-cocktails-on-the-beach kind of mood. Travel will be far from boring with these summer anthems, I assure you!
Heat Waves – Glass Animals
‘Sometimes all I think about is you/ Late nights in the middle on June.’ We’ve all heard this one before, right? If you haven’t then you’ve been living under a rock as this song is enjoying a viral status over on TikTok. It’s a chill track that will ease you into the holiday spirit without going full on rave mode.
Sunroof – Nicky Youre, dazy
Another song popular on Tiktok, Sunroof literally encapsulates that holiday travel feeling in one song. As you listen you’ll want to be sticking you head out of the sunroof, wind in your hair and sunlight in your eyes. Forget your worries and begin that care-free journey to your holiday destination.
Deep Down – Alok, Ella Eyre, Kenny Dope, Never Dull
Ibiza, are we here already? ‘Deep Down’ is an absolute tune that is my fave summer song right now! The song samples well-known tracks, ‘Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee La Da Da)’ – Crystal Waters and T’he Bomb (These Sounds Fall Into My Mind)’ -The Bucketheads. The chorus is an absolute banger, perfect for singing your heart out in the car. It will stay in your head for days.
Stay The Night – Sigala, Talia Mar
Nobody does a summer song like Sigala. This time Sigala has collaborated with Youtube Singer, Talia Mar, to provide us with a tune worthy of a sample on Love Island. We all know what to expect with a Sigala song and this song just reassures us of all the reason why we love his music.
Where Did You Go? – Jax Jones, MNEK
Turn your car into a club with this Jax Jones hit. This one gives out so many vibes of happiness and positivity, which of course, is all we really want when we’re on our way to the sun, sea and sand. You’ve probably heard this one on the radio a fair few times already, guaranteed to be playing on repeat through the summer.
Hot In It – Tiesto, Charli XCX
‘Hot In It’ is an anthem all about self-love and being worth lots more than an ex lover who did you dirty. You know you’re a ten and are going to show the world how hot you are. If you want to feel empowered on your way to your holiday then this is a great one to start on.
Crazy What Love Can Do – David Guetta, Becky Hill, Ella Henderson
Becky Hill provides us with her fair share of summer hits each year and we love her for it. This collab is so dreamy and one that I totally vibe with. Oh, and that chorus! It’s something that you will ask ‘Alexa’ to play again and again because you’ll want to be singing it all day, every day.
Make Me Feel Good – Belters Only, Jazzy
Clubs will be playing this all summer so why not join in on the action whilst travelling and gain a taster of what you’ll be experiencing on holiday? Turn up the music, sit back and listen to this feel-good tune which will make you wish that you were on that beach right this second.
Green Green Grass – George Ezra
‘Green Green Grass’ is far from a rave song but instead gives off summer BBQ vibes in the garden. Whilst you won’t be raving to this in a club anytime soon, if you’re travelling with family and friends it’s worth a listen. With it’s simplistic yet catchy chorus, this pop song makes you appreciate the good times with those that you love. Who wouldn’t want to listen to that?
Remind Me – Tom Grennan
You just have to love Tom Grennan! ‘Remind Me’ is all about a summer song itself – two lovers have humorously forgotten their song with Tom trying to remember how it went. It’s another pop song that you’ll fall in love with within seconds of hearing it.
