What’s your early pick for Song of The Summer 2022, based on the hits we’ve heard thus far?

About Damn Time by Lizzo

About Damn Time has to be my favourite early prediction. The nod to the disco era… the catchy hook… and the overall vibe of this song makes it SO GOOD.

About Damn Time is also the lead single on Lizzo’s new album Special out July 15th.

Big Energy by Latto

How can you not love Big Energy? Especially because it samples Fantasy by Mariah Carey, and Genius of Love by The Tom Tom Club (an 80’s new wave band).

This is the perfect song to blast on a hot summer day driving in the city with all the windows rolled down!

Check out the Mariah Carey remix too:

As It Was by Harry Styles

One of the biggest pop stars with a MASSIVE song, off of the masterpiece album that is Harry’s House. Need I say more?

As It Was is currently at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Harry’s House is at #1 on the Billboard 200 Album Charts.

Potion by Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, and Young Thug

The newest of the early summer soundtrack bunch, Potion has summer vibes written ALL over it. If the success of Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa’s last collaboration “One Kiss” was any indication, Potion will do VERY well this summer.

Dua Lipa will also be in town this summer, on July 27th at Scotiabank Arena for her Future Nostalgia World Tour.

Bam Bam by Ed Sheeran and Camila Cabello

While released in the spring, the fact that Bam Bam is still going strong well into May gives us good indication that it could be on many summer playlists. With strong latin vibes and catchy lyrics, this song is a total ear worm!
