Much of the U.S. will spend this weekend out at a barbecue of some kind, and will need the kind of summery jams that keep the good vibes going. While there are plenty of tried-and-tested classics that fit the bill — Katy Perry’s “California Gurls”! Demi Lovato’s “Cool for the Summer”! The endless joy of [“Despacito (Remix)”](https://time.com/4913699/the-new-science-of-the-truly-unstoppable-impossible-to-resist-summer-jam/) from Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber! — we’ve put together a roundup of newer releases for a fourth of July playlist that should also stand up to summer’s party needs. ## “Ice Cream,” MIKA MIKA was once known for hits [like “Lollipop,”](https://time.com/5598608/5-songs-you-need-to-listen-to-this-weekend-6/) so maybe it’s no surprise that his latest, “Ice Cream,” is another bright and joyful ode to hot weather. When he sings “I want your ice cream, I want it melting on my tongue” over a punchy funk melody, you’d be hard-pressed not to want to find your own cold treat. ## “I Don’t Care,” [Ed Sheeran](https://time.com/collection/2017-time-100/4736211/ed-sheeran/) and Justin Bieber This year, Bieber and Sheeran teamed up for a song about not particularly enjoying the party — until they settle in for the ride, thanks to being with their beloved. Luckily, its bouncy pop vibe works whether or not you’re actually enjoying yourself at an event. ## “Come to Brazil,” Why Don’t We Young boy band [Why Don’t We](https://time.com/5051029/why-dont-we-interview/) wink at the phrase that many of their passionate superfans pepper all over their social media posts — “come to Brazil!” — with this peppy, summery tune about last-minute travel plans that hints at hot-weather flings. ## “Make It Hot,” Major Lazer feat. Anitta “Siempre hot, siempre picante,” sings Brazilian star Anitta — always hot, always spicy. The Major Lazer track mixes a sinuous flute with baile funk (funk carioca) beats and works as well as any of the latest genre-blending club tracks to get the people going. ## “Sucker,” Jonas Brothers There’s a reason the Jonas Brothers made [such a big splash](https://time.com/5601989/jonas-brothers-comeback-album/) with their latest comeback: this song. It’s pure pop magic, and has a tendency to get people singing along. We’re all a sucker for summer, after all. ## “Too Much,” Carly Rae Jepsen Jepsen is the [queen of pop songs](https://time.com/5591169/carly-rae-jepsen-dedicated/) that mix highs and lows — she doesn’t do emotion in small pieces, but big and bold. “Too Much” is a thesis statement to that effect, and it also works as a delightfully unbridled track to sing and dance your heart out to. ## “La La Land,” Bryce Vine feat. YG There’s something very summer about nostalgia-tinged songs about California. “La La Land” fits the bill: Bryce Vine is the epitome of low-key cool as he sing-raps about nights out, house parties and casual small-talk conversations. “Waste your time with me in California,” he suggests in the chorus — one idea for how to spend the season. ## “Juice,” Lizzo It’s hard not to start dancing and singing along to [Lizzo’s](https://time.com/5568320/lizzo-music-album-review/) “Juice,” a bold and buoyant summer hit that’s unabashedly all about the party. “If I’m shining, everybody gonna shine,” she sings, and it’s enough to bring everyone to the dance floor. ## “Mojaita,” J Balvin and Bad Bunny Bad Bunny and [J Balvin](https://time.com/5617272/jbalvin-bad-bunny-new-music-list/) are two of Latin music’s biggest stars at the moment — and they did listeners the kindness of surprise-releasing a joint album this summer. “Mojaita” kicks things off with a slinky reggaeton groove, but the rest of the album is just as worthy. ## “Señorita,” Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello Cabello follows up her [“Havana” hit](https://time.com/4995186/havana-video-camila-cabello/) with “Señorita,” a sultry new duet between the two pop stars. Both lean into their most languid, elastic senses of melody, the song echoing summer nights that stretch out into dawn. ## “Go Loko,” YG feat. Tyga and Jon Z [“Go Loko”](https://time.com/5582485/best-songs-of-the-week-vampire-weekend/) is another Latin-inspired track, with a delicate Spanish guitar melody that gives it a specific flavor to set it apart from other hip-hop releases. It’s an unhurried, dark-toned track — the kind to play as the sun sets, when everyone just wants a moment to relax. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5617590/4th-of-july-playlist/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5617590/4th-of-july-playlist/"},"headline":"Here's Your New Fourth of July Summer Party Playlist to Keep the Good Vibes Going","datePublished":"2019-07-02T18:33:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:59:23.069Z","description":"From MIKA to Carly Rae Jepsen and beyond, here are the latest songs to add to the perfect summer party playlist for July 4 celebrations.","url":"https://time.com/5617590/4th-of-july-playlist/","keywords":["Music","Newsfeed","Holidays"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/music/","name":"Music"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5617590/4th-of-july-playlist/","name":"Here's Your New Fourth of July Summer Party Playlist to Keep the Good Vibes Going"}}]}] ```
