Were talking songs of the Brat summer

By Aisha Harris and Stephen Thompson and Liz Metzger

Trying to declare the official song of the summer isn't a new sport. But this year feels like the first in a while where there's a clear frontrunner: “Good Ones” by Charli XCX.

The song has all the makings of a summer anthem: it's catchy, danceable, and relatable. It's also been inescapable on social media, with everyone from Lizzo to Phoebe Bridgers posting videos of themselves singing along to it.

There are a few other contenders for the title of song of the summer, including “Butter” by BTS, “Leave the Door Open” by Silk Sonic, and “Peaches” by Justin Bieber. But “Good Ones” has something special that sets it apart. It's a song that perfectly captures the feeling of summer: the freedom, the fun, and the heartbreak.

So if you're looking for the perfect song to soundtrack your summer, look no further than “Good Ones” by Charli XCX.
