Crowning the song of the summer used to be easy: “Hot in Herre,” “Crazy in Love,” “Umbrella,” “Call Me Maybe,” “Despacito,” and “Old Town Road” were all incontestable champions of their time. As the monoculture has crumbled in recent years, determining a winner has gotten harder—but we’ll be damned if we don’t try, so we’re back to debate: What is this year’s song of the summer? Sure, the season is young and anything could happen—hot-weather king Calvin Harris has been teasing a new song with Miley Cyrus , and we still have albums from Peso Pluma and Normani on deck for June.

It’s rivaled only by “I’m working late, ’cause I’m a singerrrrrr,” a lyric that everyone from Adele to Katy Perry has enthusiastically co-signed.
