Summer 2025 is officially over, but the music industry never stops. Now that the hottest season of the year is behind us, it’s the perfect time to look back at the music that defined the past few months. As tradition dictates, we gathered the 32 biggest hits released between May and August, created a bracket, and polled fans, who had the chance to pick their favorite song of Summer 2025. ROSÉ’s “Messy” emerged as the clear winner, dominating each round thanks to the unwavering support of Blinks. In the final round, the song beat Tate McRae’s infectious “Just Keep Watching,” which was featured on the F1 Soundtrack—just like “Messy” itself.

During the summer season, we also witnessed the release of several hit songs. Sabrina Carpenter unleashed the smash singles “Manchild” and “Tears” from her seventh album Man’s Best Friend. Doja Cat entered her Vie era with “Jealous Type,” while BLACKPINK returned with “Jump.” Summer 2025 was also KATSEYE’s season—the rising girl group left a massive mark with their second EP Beautiful Chaos, featuring viral hits “Gnarly” and “Gabriela.” We also witnessed the breakout success of “Golden,” the chart-topping track featured on Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack. Other notable comebacks came from Cardi B, Lorde, Ed Sheeran, Karol G, Drake, and Maroon 5.

After the conclusion of our yearly poll, we tallied the votes from each round. Here are the top 32 songs of Summer 2025, as voted by fans.
