Songs with vocals, made for summer
Unlike most of the catalog, these tracks have sung vocals, in English, with a relaxed tropical-house and chillwave feel. They suit footage where the music is meant to be heard as a song: a road trip montage, a beach day reel or a summer recap.
There are 202 tracks in this set, with a median tempo of 112 BPM. The vocals are AI-generated and the catalog marks these tracks as vocal tracks, so do not place them under narration.
If you need a summer feel under speech, look at an instrumental guide instead.
Where they work best
- Road trip and travel montages: a mid-tempo track lets the landscape do the talking. Cut on the chorus or on a change of scene.
- Beach, pool and holiday reels: short clips pair well with the opening verse. Trim to a complete phrase and fade out.
- Summer sales and seasonal promotions: a bright song can lift a short ad. Keep the lyrics in mind and check that they suit your brand.
- Southern hemisphere audiences: if your audience is in Australia or New Zealand, remember that the summer holiday season falls at the turn of the year. Time your upload for that.
Handle the lyrics with care
Because the songs have lyrics, listen to them completely before you publish. Make sure the words fit the mood of your footage and do not clash with the message of the video.
A song about leaving a place may feel off on a welcome video.
If your video is for an audience that speaks another language, consider that the lyrics are in English. Some creators like that, others prefer an instrumental.
Trimming a song for a short video
The typical track is 3:32 long, and 202 tracks last at least two and a half minutes. For a short reel, choose the best fifteen to thirty seconds and fade the music in and out.
Cut at a phrase boundary, not mid-word, so the edit sounds natural.
To keep a longer video varied, use a song for the main sequence and change to an instrumental under narrated parts.
If you need something without vocals
For summer footage with narration, compare the vlog music guide and travel and drone video music. Both focus on tracks that sit under speech.
