H ere’s a list of songs that made us all half dance in the car while driving. Some of them may have sad undertones but there is no doubt, according to the audience, that they are the best recent summer driving songs!

Butter By BTS

Let’s start the list with a bubbly song by the K-pop band called BTS, which stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan (Beyond the Scene for English speakers). Lately, BTS has been taking Hollywood by storm as they are being invited left and right to all kinds of awards as well as winning Grammy nominations this year! Butter especially encapsulates the soul of summer with an upbeat background and a music video that can make any grumpy person happy in a second.

Among other achievements of BTS, many artists are trying to get their attention to collaborate with them as their fan base which is called Army is only increasing in numbers day by day and rightfully so! So I guess, this song makes your ride smooth like butter!

Driver’s License By Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia has broken the internet with her single ‘Driver’s License’ from the album, which later came out named ‘Sour’. When you hear the song, it is actually understandable why it rose in the charts. The song tells a story of a heartbreaking breakup of a couple in which the girl is hurt and confused because she had been waiting to get her ‘driver’s license’ to go to her boyfriend’s house who is now her ex.

It is widely speculated that the ex talked about here is Joshua Basset but well, there have been no confirmations. The song also mentions a blonde girl who the media thinks is Sabrina Carpenter but there have been no confirmations yet! All in all, it certainly got our attention.

Peaches By Justin Bieber

This song proves not everything has to be about love or the lack of it as the ever legendary Justin Bieber sings about where he gets his peaches from (hint; the name of the city starts from G) and also boasts about his wife, Hailey Bieber, and how he took her to the north to celebrate their wedding and honeymoon. The song also contains some rapping and mainly light lyrics and a very fun tone for you to tune in and be on the road!

Good 4 U By Olivia Rodrigo

This breakup song, once again by the eighteen-year-old Olivia Rodrigo has definitely made itself heard throughout the world! Not only Olivia is breaking digital record sales but also gathering a loyal fanbase of her own and we can see her following the footsteps of the very talented Taylor Swift as she not only sang but also wrote this song according to how she was feeling at that time.

It begins with a catchy teen vibe that takes us all back to our youthful days and embraces the concept of breakups of teens who are coming of age and gradually discovering themselves. Olivia sings about her ex-boyfriend being happy and healthy after the breakup while she’s angry, hurt, and confused. We are sad for Olivia but the song is such a bop, we can’t help but nod our heads against the beat!

Megan Thee Stallion, "Thot Shit"

No one here is unknown to the rising popularity of Megan Thee Stallion, so who are we to debate on it? In this song, Megan proves why exactly it is happening, it’s because she’s making amazing music that’s why! Who does not wanna put on the radio and pretend to play drums along with the beat of this song? Certainly not us! We also recommend checking out her collaboration with BTS on Butter because that rap was truly fire! 

Save Your Tears By The Weeknd

The Weeknd has become a household name in the music industry and in this specific song, some media sources think he is dissing his ex Selena Gomez but can we ever be sure of anything.? That’s a no, but it doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy these productions and dance to them while cruising through roads on our summer getaways!

While there are plenty of other songs that have been described as the best recent summer songs, I think we can all agree that all of these songs are amazing and made by talented artists who deserve recognition and love!
