About the song
There’s something undeniably nostalgic about the arrival of summer — that first warm breeze drifting in, the scent of fresh-cut grass, and the sound of a familiar tune that seems to capture the very essence of the season. In “Feel Good Summer Song,” country artist Scotty McCreery taps into that collective memory with remarkable ease. Known for his deep baritone and traditional country roots, McCreery leans into his signature charm to deliver a track that is both refreshing and warmly familiar.
Released at a time when modern country music continues to balance between pop-friendly production and down-home storytelling, “Feel Good Summer Song” is a reminder of why McCreery has maintained a loyal following since his early breakout days. The song doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel — nor does it need to. Instead, it offers listeners a gentle embrace of sun-drenched optimism, that particular kind of joy found in simple pleasures: a tailgate gathering, the perfect radio playlist, or the golden hour just before the sun dips below the horizon.
McCreery’s delivery is relaxed yet assured, inviting the listener to take a breath and soak in the moment. The melody is easy-going, the lyrics are approachable, and the instrumentation — a tasteful blend of acoustic guitar, steady percussion, and subtle pedal steel — provides just enough texture without overwhelming the song’s unpretentious heart.
In a world often overwhelmed by noise and urgency, “Feel Good Summer Song” succeeds by keeping things simple and sincere. It’s the kind of track that doesn’t just play in the background — it lingers. And perhaps that’s what makes it so effective: it reminds us that happiness doesn’t have to be loud or flashy. Sometimes, it just needs a little sunlight, a good hook, and a reason to sing along.

Lyrics
I park the car out on the beach, let the water kiss my feet
Can hear the music coming from the pier
The beat is fast, the bass is loud
I could disappear into the crowd
But I think that I’ll just stay out here
‘Cause since you’re gone[Chorus:]
I can’t hear another feel good summer song
The sunshine only lights up what is wrong
I should just give in and sing along and laugh like we used to
The tide is high, the sky is blue, but how can I get over you
When every station is playing a feel good summer songIt seems like you were just right here
The sand was white, the coast was clear
You kissed me just so you could steal my shades
We snuck off underneath the dock
As the waves crashed on the rocks
You told me that you’d always feel this way
But now you’re gone[Chorus:]
I can’t hear another feel good summer song
The sunshine only lights up what is wrong
I should just give in and sing along and laugh like we used to
The tide is high, the sky is blue, but how can I get over you
When every station is playing a feel good summer songSince you’re gone, the music’s trying to sway me to move on
But I just wanna stay here all night long missing you
Wishing you would come back but you’re gone[Chorus:]
I can’t hear another feel good summer song
The sunshine only lights up what is wrong
I should just give in and sing along and laugh like we used to
The tide is high, the sky is blue, but how can I get over you
When every station is playing a feel good summer songA feel good summer song
