Is Janelle Monáe’s “Lipstick Lover” the Hit Of Summer 2023?

Every Summer comes with its own iconic soundtrack. This year, fans are wondering if it’s going to be Janelle Monáe’s “Lipstick Lover” or her single “Float” from her insanely anticipated new album THE AGE OF PLEASURE (launching this Friday, June 9th) that will be spun on our Summer playlist.

As a reminder, here are “Summer Hits” that have had us lip-syncing in Summers past:

“Your Body Is A Wonderland” by John Mayer released in June, 2002

“Crazy” released by Gnarls Barkley in May, 2006

“I Gotta Feeling” from The Black Eyed Peas in June, 2009

“Rolling In The Deep” from Adele, 2011

“I Want It That Way” by The Back Street Boys was released in 1999, but so was Ricky Martin’s 1999 hit “La Vida La Loca”. Your pick?

Duets like “Savage Love” from Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo , and “Rain Down On Me” featuring Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande during Summer of 2020 tried to tune out the pandemic.

Last Summer, Harry Styles’s “As It Was” and Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” led the Summer pack.

Opinions may vary, and that’s okay. Let us know any songs we may have missed?
