It's time for driving around with the windows rolled down, and we've got your warm weather playlist right here

The first official day of summer is June 21, but c'mon. It's June. School is out. The weather is warm and those who battled the polar vortex can finally drive around with their windows down. It's summer now. Don't argue with us.
