POSTED BY ASHLEY COLEMAN

As the weather begins to heat up, visions of tanning poolside and vacationing abroad grow stronger as we await summertime's arrival. And what better way to prepare for the warm weather than by setting the mood with a perfectly curated playlist?! If you're looking for inspiration, here are four songs to help kickstart your summer soundtrack.

"BMF" by SZA 

Despite its February release, SZA's SOS deluxe album LANA has quite a few songs fit for a summer playlist, like "BMF." This track interpolates the melody from the classic bossa nova “The Girl From Ipanema” and serves as a modern take on an old favorite; its whimsical beat is THE definition of summertime. 

"Bodies" by Dominic Fike 

Sunburn is often the first album that comes to mind as summer inches closer. But if there’s one track off it that feels the most representative of the season, it has to be the nostalgia-laced track “Bodies.” Its upbeat production and catchy lyrics will have you hitting the repeat button! (And if you’re a fan of indie-pop singer Remi Wolf, you’re in for a treat, as her vocals feature throughout the song.)

"Stunner" by Ten 

For K-pop enjoyers, Ten from NCT recently released one of THE songs of the summer with his new track “Stunner.” Its suave, danceable sound feels like the early 2000s and brings a confident vibe perfect for summertime. (Plus, the song’s whispered outro is a something everyone should hear at least once in their lifetime.)

"Sally, When The Wine Runs Out" By Role Model 

It has been quite the year for up-and-coming singer Role Model. From embarking on his whirlwind “No Place Like Home” Tour to releasing his long-awaited sophomore album, Role Model is all gas, no breaks. “Sally, When The Wine Runs Out” is even more proof of that; the country-pop track’s carefree vibe and catchy bridge make it a perfect contender for a summer anthem.
