Some of our favorite stars delivered upbeat, catchy tunes in the last few months, but which one is going to earn the coveted title of “song of the summer”?

Harry Styles – Watermelon Sugar

“Watermelon Sugar” may not be the biggest hit on the list, but it has the most summery vibe and that’s why it’s our favorite candidate for the song of the summer.

Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande – Rain on Me

“Rain on Me” proved the world that Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande are a match made in heaven, and we’ll be listening to this song all summer long.

Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé – Savage

You no longer have to open TikTok to hear “Savage” countless times a day. This catchy tune is literally everywhere and summer 2020 wouldn’t be complete without it.

Doja Cat – Say So

The Weeknd – Blinding Lights
