What will be 2024’s song of the summer?

For my money, “Good Luck, Babe” is the song of the summer. Oh, hell, give it the song of 2024 even with half the year still left. Chappell Roan is a hit-maker, as evidenced by her debut album last year, The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess. She kicks off a new music era with a track that’s impossible to get out of your head. It’s delightful and groovy with sharp, poignant lyrics about giving up true love to maintain a facade of heterosexuality. Plus, the banging production slowing down for the outro? It’s perfection. The song’s got an ’80s pop vibe perfect for the radio, appealing to all generations—there’s already a TikTok dance routine for it. Trust us, “Good Luck, Babe” is your new obsession. [Saloni Gajjar]
