Ryan Griffin: “Salt, Lime & Tequila” 

Ryan Griffin’s “Salt, Lime & Tequila” took TikTok by storm upon its release and it’s obvious why fans are loving it. This breezy, feel-good track urges fans to take the stressors of everyday life with “a grain of Salt, lime and tequila.” We have it admit, it’s pretty good advice.

Walker Hayes: “Fancy Like” 

“Fancy Like” by Walker Hayes should come with a warning label because once you listen, it will be stuck in your head for days (yes, it’s that addictive!). The song (and dance), which is going viral on social media platforms, finds Hayes praising the simple things in life “Applebee’s on a date night” and “Natty in the styrofoam.” It’s a total earworm and will undoubtedly become one of this summer’s biggest songs.
