It's that time of year again! Every summer, music-lovers far and wide gear up for the annual debate over which hot track will dominate the season's wildly epic trips and fun outdoor shenanigans. On 7 June, Spotify released its annual "Songs of Summer" playlist [1], and so far, the top contenders present quite the challenge.
From Bad Bunny's undeniable party anthem "Where She Goes" [2] to Dua Lipa's "Dance the Night [3]" single from the "Barbie" movie [4] soundtrack, there are plenty of hits already heating up the charts. However, other new releases like Latto and Cardi B's infectious "Put It on Da Floor Again" remix and Taylor Swift and Ice Spice's "Karma" collaboration [5] are quickly making compelling arguments as to why they deserve the crown for this summer's official anthem.
Judging by all the songs artists have been dropping lately, we're in good hands. Ahead, check out all the solid competition for 2023's song of the summer, and get ready to update your playlists!
