At the iconic Santa Monica Pier, Billboard took the opportunity to engage with the public and gather their opinions on which song they believe should be crowned as the Song of the Summer. Currently, Alex Warren’s catchy track “Ordinary” is dominating the charts, holding the prestigious No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot 100. However, contenders like Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther,” Drake’s “Nokia,” and Morgan Wallen are also in the mix, raising the question: do they have a realistic chance of claiming the title?
What are your thoughts on which song should be recognized as the Song of the Summer? We would love to hear your opinions in the comments section below!

With everything happening in the world today, I feel like we need to embrace the summer vibes and get lit! It’s time to enjoy the outdoors, soak up the sun, and let the music elevate our spirits.

As Drake famously put it, “where the f— the function?” Summer is here, the sun is shining, and it’s the perfect moment to fire up the grill and enjoy life. With the summer of 2025 upon us, artists like Morgan Wallen, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and Kendrick Lamar are all in fierce competition for the title of Song of the Summer. Although Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” is currently at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, the season is just beginning, and anything can happen in this race for summer supremacy. We ventured to Santa Monica Pier to discover which songs the people are excited about.

When asked about the potential Song of the Summer, I already have my answer in mind. “Nokia” is an absolute bop that gets me moving every time I hear it. I just can’t get enough of that track!
Guest 3:
I’m all about “Anxiety” by Doechii. She is really making waves in the music scene right now, and this track is nothing short of amazing. Its energy is off the charts, and it deserves all the recognition it’s getting.
Guest 4:
Honestly, I’m not sure about the final outcome. It certainly feels like the pop artists are still dominating this season. The BRAT era isn’t over just yet. For me, “What Was That?” by Lorde stands out as one of the best songs ever released.
Guest 1:
Without a doubt, my top pick is “Mutt” by Leon Thomas. It’s such a fantastic song that I find myself playing it every single day, sometimes even five times! It’s that good!
Stay tuned for more updates and insights!
