Song of the summer is a nuanced concept beyond just the most popular track. It’s the song that becomes ingrained in cultural consciousness and memories of summer. Three early contenders for this title include: Diet Pepsi by Addison Rae, reminiscent of Lana Del Rey’s musical style; What I Want by Morgan Wallen, which captures a tumultuous love story; and Anxiety by Doechii, which echoes contemporary societal issues as it re-emerges after its original release.
The song of the summer is characterized not solely by popularity, but by a tune that embeds itself in the listener's subconscious during hot months.
Addison Rae's debut song Diet Pepsi captures a Lana Del Rey ambiance, blending reverb with breathy vocals, reflecting a trend of American ingenues.
Morgan Wallen's What I Want encapsulates a complicated love narrative, balancing popularity with elements that evoke mixed feelings among listeners.
Doechii's Anxiety, though initially released in 2019, resurfaces in 2025, reflecting ongoing societal challenges as the doomsday clock nears zero.
