"Cool for the Summer" is a song by American singer Demi Lovato. It was released as the lead single from her fifth studio album Confident (2015) on July 1, 2015, by Hollywood Records and Island Records, and premiered on radio on the same date via Republic Records. Lovato co-wrote "Cool for the Summer" with Alexander Erik Kronlund, Savan Kotecha, and the song's producers Max Martin and Ali Payami. It has been described as a pop and pop rock song with an electronic instrumental arrangement with a synthesized beat, and an electric-guitar riff is heard during the chorus.

"Cool for the Summer" was included in several year-end lists and received nominations for MTV Video Music Awards and 2015 Teen Choice Awards in the category "Song of the Summer". It also received an award for being one of the most-performed songs of 2015 at the ASCAP Pop Music Awards. Commercially, it reached number one in Greece and Israel and reached the top 10 in the Czech Republic, Lebanon, New Zealand, Scotland, and the United Kingdom. The song also reached the top 20 in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Slovakia, and the United States.

A music video for the song was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and was released on Vevo on July 23, 2015. The video was positively received; publications praised Lovato's sultriness and artistic growth. To promote the song, Lovato performed it at pool parties a few days after its release, and on several television programs such as The Voice Australia, Sunrise, 2015 MTV Video Music Awards and Jimmy Kimmel Live. The singer also performed the song in a medley with "Confident" on Saturday Night Live during the show's forty-first season. Wearing a T-shirt featuring an inclusive bathroom symbol, Lovato showed her support for the LGBTQ community and demonstrated against North Carolina's anti-LGBT bathroom bill during her performance of "Cool for the Summer" at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards on May 22, 2016. She also included the song on the set lists for the Future Now Tour, Tell Me You Love Me World Tour, and Holy Fvck Tour.

Due to a resurgence of the song on TikTok in March 2022, the song re-peaked in several countries worldwide, reached #1 on global Shazam, and debuting on the Billboard Global 200 chart. In response to the song going viral, Lovato released a sped up version of the song on April 1, 2022.[2] A re-recorded rock version of the song was released on May 25, 2023, and was included on her first remix album Revamped.

Composition and release

Demi Lovato co-wrote "Cool for the Summer" with Alexander Erik Kronlund, Savan Kotecha, and its producers Ali Payami and Max Martin—who also handled programming.[3] It was recorded at MXM Studios in Los Angeles (USA) and Wolf Cousins Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. The song was mixed by Serban Ghenea and mastered by Tom Coyne. Payami played the guitars, percussion, and keyboards.[4] Lovato said the track is "an awesome representation of where I'm headed", and "I think for so many years, I cared too much about what people thought. Now I can just be who I am. I can be open."[5] She told Elvis Duran in a radio interview: "After kind of being put in a corner of talking about so many things in my past, I just want to talk about sexy time and fun things!"[6] On June 25, 2015, Lovato announced that "Cool for the Summer" would be released on July 1 that year.[7] The song was leaked the day before its official release.[3]

"Cool for the Summer" runs for 3 minutes and 34 seconds.[8] It is a pop and pop rock song[9][10][11] with a rock edge and an electronic pop rock arrangement[12][11] running through a synthesized beat[3][13] with electric guitar riffs.[14] NME editor Nick Levine praised the song's style, describing it as a "massive EDM-tinged-tinged pop banger with lyrics hinting at an exploratory same-sex tryst".[15] According to Lovato, "'Cool for the Summer' is basically your go-to party anthem song. It's definitely more grown up than my other singles I've released. It's sexy, it's fun."[6] She later said she could "kind of bring attention to people's sexuality, taking away the stigma and the shame of wanting to try things", and called the track a "sexy pop song" that could "inspire people to be themselves". Lovato added, "I know it was an awesome journey for me to be able to put that out in front of the world and not feel ashamed about it."[5]

The song's theme is sexual experimentation with a female lover during summertime;[16] it was noted for being more sexually suggestive than Lovato's previous releases, garnering comparisons with Katy Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl".[17] Tharadjyne Orisma of United Press International wrote that the song "makes some pretty racy suggestions".[18] The track's ambient production consists of a melodic piano introduction,[14] which is followed by a buzzing synth beat[3][13][14][16][17] accompanied by guitar riffs in the chorus.[9][14] According to the sheet music published by Kobalt Music Publishing America, Inc on the website Musicnotes.com, "Cool for the Summer" is in the key of C minor and is set in a 4
4 time signature at a moderate tempo of 114 beats per minute. On the recording, Lovato's vocal range spans from the low note of B♭3 to the high note of F5, while the music follows the chord progression of A♭maj7 – Fm – Cm – E♭/B♭.[19]

Critical reception

Following its release, Lovato was accused of copying Jessie J's song "Domino" and Katy Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl"; the lyrics "It's okay/I'm a little curious too/Tell me if it's wrong/If it's right/I don't care ... Got a taste for the cherry/I just need to take a bite" were compared to the theme of Perry's "I Kissed a Girl," which was also co-written by Max Martin.[20] In response, Lovato stated the songs sounded unalike, saying, "I think more than one female artist can kiss a girl and like it".[21] Yasmeen Gharnit of Nylon magazine called the song "a blatantly summer song" that has "boisterous, cinematic instrumentals and synth beat" that distract from "some straight-out-of-your-middle-school-diary lyrics".[3] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard gave the song a rating of four-and-a-half stars out of five, calling it Lovato's "most self-assured statement to date".[14] Idolator gave it an average rating of 7.5 out of 10, writing, "from the hook-filled production to the tongue-in-cheek lyrics, it only takes one listen to know that 'Cool for the Summer' is going to be huge".[13]

Nolan Feeney of Time stated that "Lovato's sultry vocals and producer Max Martin's Midas touch melt the track's air-conditioned synths into a sweltering, rock-infused banger".[17] Writing for New York, Dee Lockett called it "the most perfectly manufactured Song of Summer maybe ever".[22] Annie Zaleskie from the website The A.V. Club called the song an "unstoppable hit" and described it as "an icy rush of electro-pop seduction in praise of fleeting romance".[23] In a review of the song's parent album Confident, Yu Tsai of USA Today praised the lyrics, writing; "Lovato has long-infused her brand of pop with rock 'n' roll grit, heard here and on the electric-guitar riffs of first single 'Cool For The Summer'. While its limp attempts at being provocative emit little heat ... [the track] is still one of the catchier songs on the album, whose other potential radio hits are harder to identify."[24] Newsday's Glen Gambo gave a positive review to the song's production; he is one of several critics who compared the song to Perry's work produced by Max Martin. Unlike other critics, Gambo noted the similarity to another song recorded by Perry, writing that on "Cool for the Summer", Martin builds a "sleek, shiny backdrop" similar to that of Perry's "Teenage Dream" (2010) for Lovato, who uses it to "advocate for sexual experimentation in the name of a good time".[25]

Recognition

"Cool for the Summer" was included on several year-end lists. Spin ranked the song at number 101; the magazine's editor Jia Tolentino wrote; "From that first icy, neon piano riff, 'Cool For the Summer' feels like a Miami drag race in an '80s dream, with a muscular force in Demi's chorus that makes those sweet, girlish verses seem like a lie you'd tell your parents just before you'd sneak out of the house".[26] In Village Voice's 2015 "Pazz & Jop" mass critics' poll of the year's best music, "Cool for the Summer" was tied at number 29 with three other songs.[27] Stereogum's Chris DeVille considered it the 23rd-best song of the year, writing that "the parade of undeniable hooks on 'Cool For The Summer' got Lovato's next chapter off on the right foot".[28] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy also included the song on his end-of-year list, placing it at number 16. He also commented on the song's impact in Lovato career, describing it as "a breezy, dusky pop serenade, that ramps up with husky guitars before it ends. It's a surprising switch-up, but one that has every potential to see Demi's global profile shine even more."[29] "Cool for the Summer" has received two award nominations; in August 2015, it was nominated for Choice Summer Song at the Teen Choice Awards,[30] and for Song of Summer at the MTV Video Music Awards.[31] On April 27, 2016, the song received an award at the ASCAP Pop Music Awards for being one of the most-performed songs of 2015.[32] Billboard and American Songwriter both named "Cool for the Summer" as Lovato's second-greatest song.[33][34]

In 2018, NPR ranked the track as the 198th greatest song performed by women and non-binary artists in the 21st century.[35] In 2022, Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers of Las Culturistas ranked the song number 1 in their 300 Songs of the Great Global Songbook.

Music videos

Official video

The music video for "Cool for the Summer" was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and released on Vevo on July 23, 2015.[64] The video begins with Lovato driving around a city with her friends. The scene is intercut with a scene in which Lovato, wearing black latex, sings and whips her hair around in an isolated location.[65] The video continues with Lovato and her friends arriving at a party; it cuts between a number of scenes showing people on a trampoline and Lovato dancing and having fun at the party. Rob Copsey from Official Charts described the video as "hot" and wrote that it "sees her hit the road with her gal pals (and a bottle of her own-brand hydrating mist) before getting it on with each other at a wild house party".[66]

Christina Garibaldi of MTV News deemed the video "seductive, sassy and smokin' hot", and noted it marked "a new chapter of her career, as she exudes a confidence and sexiness that we haven't seen before".[65] Bianca Gracie of Idolator and Lewis Corner of Digital Spy both thought the video is Lovato's "steamiest".[67][68] Hayden Manders of Nylon wrote that the video "doesn't disappoint, but it somewhat misses the mark", and "it's odd that a video for a song about same-sex experimentation features none. You'd have to listen to the lyrics to understand the underlying message of the song because the video shies away from it."[69] New York magazine's Dee Lockett called it "the most sexually liberated video Demi's ever done to go along with its empowering message".[22] The video surpassed 355 million views in June 2020, making it Lovato's ninth Vevo-certified clip.[70]

Lyric video

A lyric video for the song was released on July 7, 2015, on Vevo;[71] it features Lovato singing at the pool parties.[72]

Covers and use in media

I'm a mid-century nut so I gave it a lil' throwback, late 50s, early 60s vibe."[102] The song is featured in the dance video game Just Dance 2016.[103] "Cool for the Summer" was featured during a lip sync battle in the ninth season of RuPaul's Drag Race.[104], with Kesha as the special guest judge.

British band Colour Me Wednesday did a cover, renaming the song "Queer for the Summer".[citation needed]

Remixes

Safehouse Records released several remixes of the song; the first remixes were done by Todd Terry, VARA, Dave Audé, Cahill, Plastic Plates, and Mike Cruz. These were released on a CD single and digital download titled Cool for the Summer– The Remixes on August 7, 2015.[105] Lindsay Harvey of Billboard wrote that the remix by Plastic Plates "slows things down a bit" and features a "steadily paced bass line" with "lighter rhythms".[106] American DJ Todd Terry told Billboard:

I really liked the freedom I got from Demi and her team. She told me to go make a version that I would play out in one of my sets versus focusing on a radio-friendly mix. That was refreshing and I think that being able to fully approach it with doing what was best for the track for club play really made this remix rock.[107]

"Cool for the Summer" also was remixed by electronic dance music DJ duo Jump Smokers and Suraci; Billboard's Harvey described the first version as a "high-energy remix" and praised it, calling it relentless "from beginning to end, save for a momentary breath of air in the middle that exists merely as a much needed break".[106] Both remixes were included in the deluxe edition of Confident.[108] Lovato announced another remix of the song titled "Sped Up" by Speed Radio was released on April 1, 2022.[109]

Lyric video
"Cool for the Summer (Rock Version)" on YouTube

In January 2022, Lovato held a "funeral" for her pop music ahead of the release of her eighth studio album Holy Fvck in August of that year.[183] The album, which embraced a heavier rock sound that departed from the pop sound of Lovato's previous releases, was supported by the Holy Fvck Tour. The setlist included several rock versions of her older pop songs, including "Cool for the Summer".[184]

On March 24, 2023, Lovato released a rock version of her pop song "Heart Attack" to mark the song's 10th anniversary.[185] On May 18, she announced via social media that she would release a rock version of "Cool for the Summer".[186] It was released on May 25, 2023.[187]

Production

Lovato initially teased a rock version of "Cool for the Summer" in an August 2022 video for Elle, saying that "if I had to re-record one of my songs for this album [Holy Fvck], it'd be 'Cool for the Summer'".[188]

"Cool for the Summer (Rock Version)" was produced by Warren "Oak" Felder, Keith "Ten4" Sorrelles, and Alex Nice, all of whom contributed to Holy Fvck.[187] Hannah Dalley of Billboard described the snippet shared by Lovato to announce the rock version's release as consisting of "pounding drums and razor-edged electric guitar".[186] Upon the full song's release, Starr Bowenbank wrote for the same publication that the rock version "swaps the original's poppy synths and uptempo instrumentation for a darker sound backed by electric guitars and grittier lyric delivery from Lovato".[189] "Cool for the Summer (Rock Version)" contains a lyric change: the line "don't tell your mother" in the pre-chorus was replaced by "go tell your mother".[186]
