Summer is the time for driving down the road with the windows down, music blaring. The key to achieving that is a great summer playlist. It should have all of the songs that you're currently into, especially ones that you could sing your heart out.

1. "Maybe IDK" by Jon Bellion

This song is perfect for when you need to accept the situations of life and everything that is going on around you.

2. "Feeling Alive" by Earl St. Clair

The best thing you can do this summer, or at any point in time, is feel like you're alive. As soon as this song is turned on, you can't help but dance and bounce around.

3. "Malibu" by Miley Cyrus

Every playlist needs a song for when you're in your room, singing into a hairbrush as if this has been the most emotional song you've ever sung.

4. "Banana Pancakes" by Jack Johnson

Every playlist also needs a song you can fake play a guitar too. Sure, you're not constantly strumming as if your hand is going to fall off, but it's another fun song to sing along to.

5. "I'm The One" by DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper, Lil Wayne

This song has the perfect beat that you sing along to, feeling like a boss.

6. "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond

What would a playlist be without a classic song from before your time, or more specifically 1969?

7. "Most Girls" by Hailee Steinfeld

This song is all about celebrating life. There is no problem trying to be the best you that you can be.

8. "Be OK" by Ingrid Michaelson

Put your hands together and clap along as you sing your heart out, remembering that everything will be okay.

9. "It Ain't Me" by Kygo and Selena Gomez

You can't be everyone's go-to person. This song is for when you're sick of being just that and need a break from everyone.

10. "Sunday Candy" by Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment

If your playlist doesn't have a good duet to sing along to with your lover or best friend, then you're missing out.

11. "Stay Together" by Noah Cyrus

Summer is for fun and it's also for making mistakes. It doesn't matter what regrets you may have in the morning, as long as you have someone by your side for the night.

12. "How Far I'll Go" by Alessia Cara

Although summer is all fun and games, you're always bound to travel back home. Do what you want to do and what you stand for, even if it means straying from your roots, but don't forget who you are and what you have come from.

13. "This Town" by Niall Horan

Just another song made for breakups and being in love.

14. "Still Into You" by Paramore

During the summer, heartbreaks are bound to occur. Might as well have a song ready to sing along to when that time comes.

15. "Sign of the Times" by Harry Styles

This song is all about going forth and conquering, even if that means getting away from what is familiar.

16. "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" by Shawn Mendes

Don't let anything hold you back. Take whatever risks you want this summer and enjoy your time.

17. "Thank God for the Summertime" by Ben Rector

Appreciate the few months you have this summer. Don't let time pass you by. Take it all in, and do the most you can.

With all of these songs, you are bound to get different types of music. It's good to keep your options open when it comes to style considering you can get songs to jam to from every style of music. It's better to try and choose songs that stay upbeat and are all around happy so you can guarantee yourself the best summer of 2017 playlist.
