Summer is just 5 months away, but if you’re planning a getaway to an island, or it’s warm enough where you live to go to the beach year round, it’s even closer than you think. If you’re stuck on what to listen to while you are there, or just want to spice up your playlist, I have compiled a list of songs to help set the mood for your next beach day.
“Closer” by The Chainsmokers featuring Halsey
There is a reason this song has been so popular for the past few months. From its catchy beat to the chorus that gets stuck in your head, this track is perfect from the drive to the beach to partying the night away. Don't be afraid to play it on repeat; "we ain't ever getting older".
“Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars’ tracks are perfect for any occasion, but “Uptown Funk” is my favorite. It's melody and brass influence set it apart from all of his other songs. Turn it up when you and your friends are tossing a Frisbee, dancing in the sand, or just lounging around. It will be sure to "uptown funk you up".
“Cool For The Summer” by Demi Lovato
The title of this track implies it made waves as a summer song. However, if you’re going to the beach or a tropical resort this winter, it still brings the summer vibes year round. Blast this song as you’re cruising along the coast with your windows down.
“Sorry” by Justin Bieber
I’m not "sorry" for adding this song to the list. Between its beats and catchy lyrics, this song is perfect for jamming out with your friends. Perfect for when you’re missing more than just the summertime.
“Don’t Stop The Party” by Pitbull
Keep the party going from a.m. to p.m. with Mr. 305. Play this song once all your fellow party goers start slowing down and appearing tired. They’ll be sure to perk up and get back on their feet.
Whether you’re young or young at heart, these tracks are sure to ensure good vibes while you relax with your toes in the sand. They're even ideal for your next pool party as well. No matter the occasion, just let loose and have fun!
