"Endless Summer" is a song by German singer Oceana Mahlmann, from her second album My House (2012), serving as the lead single. It was the official song of the UEFA Euro 2012 held in Poland and Ukraine.

The song is prominently based on the synth part of Alexandra Stan's 2010 single "Mr. Saxobeat".[1] It also uses a sample of the electro track "Blaue Moschee" by German project Die Vögel.

An excerpt of the song can be heard on the UEFA Euro 2012 video game, with it playing before every match in the tournament modes as well as in the intro.
