It’s getting to be the best time of the year. Soon it will be the time for hot summer nights spent cruising around with the windows down and the music blaring. There has never been a better time to just relax and live in the moment. My favorite summer nights have always been spent singing at the top of my lungs with my friends to a song that I’ve probably had on repeat for the last hour. As I’m gearing up for another summer and many road trips, I thought I’d share my playlist with you as well!

1. Anything Jonas Brothers

This had to make the top of my list because the Jonas Brothers are back! Listen to one (or both) of their new songs, “Sucker” or “Cool” and reminisce on the years of your childhood.

2. 7 Rings, NASA, and Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored by Ariana Grande.

3. Take a Back Road by Rodney Atkins

While you’re at it listen to some of his other songs: Caught Up In The Country, Watching You, and Farmer’s Daughter. I’m a big Rodney Atkins fan.

4. Run the World (Girls), Crazy in Love, and Halo by Beyonce

Can a playlist even be good without a little Beyonce??

5. Sunflower and Wow. by Post Malone

6. Without Me by Halsey

7. Old Town Road by Lil Nas X
