Happy Wednesday, Out readers!

Can you believe it's already almost June? That means it's time for summer, and with summer comes the Song of the Summer!

Last year, we had so many great Song of the Summer nominees! From "Not Like Us" by Kendrick Lamar, "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter, "Good Luck, Babe!" by Chappell Roan, "360" by Charli xcx, and "II Most Wanted" by Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus.

Our list of potential songs of the summer for 2025 includes Miley Cyrus's new song, Chappell Roan's foray into country music, "The Giver," Rebecca Black's "Twist the Knife," and Halsey's kinky single "Safeword."

Maybe the song of the summer will be Reneé Rapp's new single "Leave Me Alone," which she's been teasing on social media? Or it could be a song from Lorde's forthcoming album Virgin.

What songs will you be listening to all summer this year?

In other news, Pedro Pascal is having the time of his life this summer. In one clip, he can be seen dancing behind a DJ booth for a The Last of Us celebration, where he mimics licking a giant rainbow pole!

Hopefully, all of our summers are that good!
