22 Hot Contenders For Song of the Summer

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.

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 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 accordingly!
