There is nothing better than summertime -- okay, well maybe football season. But summertime is the best time to travel the world, grab your friends, go on a drive, head to the beach or just relax.

Whatever you decide to do this summer, you are going to need a killer soundtrack. Here are a few songs to make your adventure that much better.

"Despacito (Feat. Justin Bieber) Remix” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee"

This is such a fun, international hit that will have you dancing with your friends and wishing you were in Puerto Rico, like the song says.

“That’s What I Like” by Bruno Mars

This is definitely a song you will like when you are driving with all your friends in the car.

“Slow Hands” by Niall Horan

This Irishman and former member of 1D made this funky-pop song that is seductive and reminds me of early hits from John Mayer and Jack Johnson.

“Strip That Down” by Liam Payne

It seems to be the summer of 1D-gone-solo artists. Liam’s song will have you dancing wishing you were in a club with your friends, or it could turn your home into a club.

“Malibu” by Miley Cyrus

Miley’s new song will bring Malibu, California to wherever you are this summer, along with good vibes.

“Reminding Me (Feat. Vanessa Hudgens)” by Shawn Hook

This song may not be as well-known, but it is such a powerful, reminiscent song. Shawn Hook may not be that famous in the US, but he very well should be and this song is proof.

“Crying in the Club” by Camila Cabello

This song from the former member of Fifth Harmony’s debut album contains themes of the healing powers of music and dancing your heartbreak away. It is perfect for the summertime.

“Swish Swish (Feat. Nicki Minaj)” by Katy Perry

This is a new pop hit by Katy Perry that seems to attack an adversary. Rumors are going around that this is an attack at Taylor Swift (Swish? Swift?). Even if there is still “bad blood” between the two, this song is a great addition to any summer playlist.

“Sign of the Times” by Harry Styles

This list wouldn’t be complete without the other 1D member who went solo leading up to the summer. This song is a Bowie-meets-Elton John and a true jam.

"Stay" by Zedd and Alessia Cara

Whether you want your friends to stick around, summer to stay, or both, this song is a perfect pop jam to end your summer playlist.
