summer hit
Warm-weather earworm
A summer hit is a song that achieves widespread popularity during the summer months, becoming closely associated with that season.
Summer hits tend to be upbeat, catchy tracks suited to warm-weather activities—road trips, beach outings, parties.
Some songs transcend their moment to become perennial summer anthems: That track was the summer hit of 2019.
The term song of the summer captures the same idea.
