“Hey Siri, play the First Dance playlist.”

This Australian duo will take you to the top of the mountain, make out with you against the setting sun and then respect you in the morning. Their ‘90s pop says everything you want to hear with simple, uncluttered emotion and stellar harmonies. Even when they experiment with rock, the intensity just proves how much they care.

Lazy beach days, barbecues with friends, road trips, balmy nights: It’s what we think about when we think about summer. And what’ve they all got in common? They need the perfect soundtrack. Consider this playlist your essential summer accessory, no matter the occasion—even if you just want to close your eyes and pretend you’re there. Here, you’ll find classic tracks, nostalgic faves and recent hits that emanate summer vibes, from Harry Styles, Rihanna and Flume to Bill Withers, Fleetwood Mac and Kylie Minogue. Crack open a cold one and dive in.

By the 1990s, it started to feel like the Song of the Summer had turned into a real thing—this stuff wasn’t an accident anymore; it was a competition. Not that the music suffered for it. If anything, even the rise of alternative rock—bands who seemed almost constitutionally opposed to joining in on such ordinary fun—produced great summer songs, while hip-hop’s move towards the mainstream and the boy-band/teen-pop wave gave us more big-tent pleasures than we knew what to do with. With that, here’s a playlist that captures not only the spirit of ’90s pop, but the summers it soundtracked—and still does. Our editors like to mix things up here now and then, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
