The sun is out, the weather is warm, and it's time to find the perfect song to pair with that umbrella in your drink. Every year as summer rolls around, the Spotify music editorial team scours all the hottest new tracks to determine which will dominate your speakers as the quintessential Songs of Summer. So apply your sunscreen, grab those shades, and get ready for our global Songs of Summer predictions for 2022.
Again this year, the songs that speak to long hazy summer days, beach trips, and cool drinks span many genres-hip-hop, Latin, pop, country, indie, dance, and more-as well as moods, so there's a song for every moment.
As you're planning the next summer soiree, might we suggest adding As It Was by Harry Styles and Big Energy by Latto to your queue? Or cranking up Ojitos Lindos by Bad Bunny (feat. Bomba Est reo) when you're hanging poolside? How about pressing play on Post Malone and Doja Cat s new track I Like You (A Happier Song) as you kick off your vacation road trip?
And there's more where those came from. Without further ado, Spotify's Songs of Summer 2022 predictions, in alphabetical order:
About Damn Time by Lizzo

To determine this list of songs, which we predict will be on repeat over the next three months, our curation teams pay attention to a number of factors, including the track's current trajectory and cultural impact, combined with forecasting based on prior years' knowledge of what tends to pop throughout the summer. But we also took this moment to see what other summer trends are emerging as people start to enjoy more fun in the sun.
The temperature is rising on these summer trends Summer is a time to shed layers and get out in the sun-we all know about 2019's viral hot girl summer moment. Now, there are nearly 170,000 hot girl summer user-generated playlists on Spotify worldwide. And this year, we're already seeing new seasonal themes emerge.
User-generated feral girl summer playlists have surged more than 320% in the past three months. Some of the top-added songs include Psycho by Maisie Peters, Get Into It (Yuh) by Doja Cat, Thot Shit by Megan Thee Stallion, I Did Something Bad by Taylor Swift, Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado (feat. Timbaland), and Act Up by City Girls.
Searches for coconut girl summer have surged nearly 950% this year, with top-added songs for these playlists including Island in the Sun by Weezer, Diet Mountain Dew by Lana Del Rey, Santeria by Sublime, Malibu by Miley Cyrus, and Could You Be Loved by Bob Marley & The Wailers.
The coastal grandmother trend is buzzing on Spotify as well-average daily plays of related playlists have skyrocketed nearly 5,000% over the last month!
And when it comes to the drink of summer, some fans think that Dirty Shirleys are in. That seems to be true on Spotify- dirty shirley user-generated playlists saw nearly a 95% spike in average daily plays over the past month.
