It's no question that Harry Styles's single 'As It Was' from 'Harry's House' was the hit of the summer, followed by Lizzo's 'About Damn Time', and Jack Harlow's 'First Class'. Last year centered around an ode to old classics from including snippets of early 2000s hits to touching on a more nostalgia feel. In the midst of 2023, artists have been giving us some of the best heart-break mending anthems and this summer's playlists will definitely coast the theme of the joy of single-hood.
