The Fourth of July is the perfect time of the year to celebrate this country, eat hot dogs and listen to music about America. If you’re looking for something to listen to while hanging out at the pool with friends and family, here are some songs to get you started.
Courtesy of The Red, White and Blue by Toby Keith
Any song from Toby Keith’s discography is perfect for the Fourth of July, but “Courtesy of The Red, White and Blue” is the song for the holiday. If you’re looking for more Keith to add to your playlist, queue “Red Solo Cup” and “Made in America.”
Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus
Do I really need to explain myself on this one? This is the song of our generation (if you’re Gen Z). Pair this with a day at the pool, someone on the grill and some sparklers for the ideal evening.
Chicken Fried by Zac Brown Band
A country classic, “Chicken Fried” by Zac Brown Band is a must on not only this playlist but a summer playlist in general. Nearly 20 years later, this song is still a hit.
Springsteen by Eric Church
While some might still not be over his whole Stagecoach Musical Festival controversy, Eric Church’s “Springsteen” is unskippable on the Fourth of July. Perfect for a day full of Bomb Pops and your parents making the day more political than it needs to be.
God Bless the U.S.A by Lee Greenwood
Are you feeling patriotic and proud to be an American? Well then Lee Greenwood has the song for you. This is a country classic that’s a perfect addition to the playlist.
Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen
You may be wondering why I’m not recommending “Born in U.S.A.,” but I’m going to let you use your own time to look that up. Anyways, “Dancing in the Dark” is an awesome song to get into the mood for the Fourth of July.
When it Rains it Pours by Luke Combs
If you’re taking your Fourth of July out on the water for a boat day, any Luke Combs song is great for the occasion, but something about “When it Rains it Pours” really brings out the holiday spirit.
Firework by Katy Perry
I am not going to explain myself.
