It ’s a bloodbath .

Buuuut one thing about the end of summer that’s always fun: debating over which song was ACTUALLY the true “song of the summer.” Because one thing about summer is, it always seems to be the greatest time for music.

Like,last summer, it was probably “Last Night” by Morgan Wallen. Or even “Dance the Night” by Dua Lipa.

And in 2022, I bet we can all agree it was “As It Was” by Harry Styles, with an honourable mention to “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush,thanks toStranger Things.

So because it’s the end of the summer, now it’s time to decide: what was the song of the summer this year? Which song defined the vibes of summer 2024?

Like, maybe you think this summer was best encapsulated by a slower, sadder song, like Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight” (featuring Post Malone, of course)? Maybe you even heard this song at The Eras Tour in Europe?

Or perhaps you were part of the huuuuge number of people who swore they were having a “Brat Summer”?
