Jun 23 2017 - 1:30pm

Nothing pairs better with the warm Summer weather than a hot playlist [1]. The long days make you want to roll down the windows and drive around for hours. But with the kids out of school, it's worth giving all of this year's music a second look; not every new jam is necessarily appropriate for little ears. Looking to bop to some of 2017's sweetest Summer jams with your little ones? We vetted the most current and wildly popular tunes out there to craft a list of songs just for you. No sexy talk, no major curse words, just high energy and catchy beats.

"Cut to the Feeling," Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen always delivers incredible pop songs, and this one from the film Leap! is no exception.

"Shape of You," Ed Sheeran

Just five seconds into this catchy beat and you won't be able to stop hitting that replay button.

"The Cure," Lady Gaga

This song is a quintessential Summer jam. I mean, Gaga even debuted it at the Coachella Music Festival!

"There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back," Shawn Mendes

This is a truly upbeat bop from Shawn Mendes. Once you learn all the words, it'll be stuck in your head for weeks.

"Beautiful (feat. Superfruit)," Betty Who

No Summer is complete without a self-love anthem, and that's exactly what this new Betty Who track is.

"Malibu," Miley Cyrus

We'll admit, Miley Cyrus [2] hasn't been on the best track with kid-friendly music for the last few years. That all changes with "Malibu," though. It's sweet and the perfect dreamy song for those drives with the windows down.

"No More Sad Songs (feat. Machine Gun Kelly)," Little Mix

Little Mix can add the perfect amount of girl power to any playlist, and this song is all about amping up your energy! No more sad songs. Only smiles.

"Green Light," Lorde

Lorde [3]'s first album wasn't very high energy when it came to dance songs, but this first single off her new album is just what we all needed.

"Something Just Like This (feat. Coldplay)," The Chainsmokers

If the little boy in the superhero cape is any indication, this song is all about reaching for the stars . . . and expecting the moon, too.

"Can't Stop the Feeling," Justin Timberlake

Despite the fact that "Can't Stop the Feeling" was all the rage last Summer, we're still bopping to it. And we're not even sorry about it.

"Most Girls," Hailee Steinfeld

What, you thought there was only room for one girl-power song? Hailee Steinfeld is all about self-love, and this new single proves it. Girls come in all shapes and colors and sizes, and they're all beautiful.

"Pendulum," Katy Perry

With the release of her new album Witness, Katy Perry [4] is going for a whole new sound. It's all about staying true to yourself. Even if things get hard, they'll always turn back around.

"Kill Em With Kindness," Selena Gomez

The message is clear enough in the title itself. No need to be nasty!

"The Greatest," Sia

This song has everything: it's beautiful, it sends a strong message, and it's got a powerful music video to boot.

"Symphony (feat. Zara Larsson)," Clean Bandit

This has to be one of the most beautiful love songs of the year so far. And it's got a lovely beat to boot.

"How Far I'll Go," Alessia Cara

Moana's breakout song was good enough all by itself, but when paired with the angelic voice of Alessia Cara, it's that much more incredible.
