It's June, which pretty much means it's summer. It's time to listen to beach-appropriate songs that will never get out of your head no matter how hard you try.

The past few years have given us some of the most memorable songs of summer for good and bad reasons: "Call Me Maybe," "Blurred Lines," "Trap Queen."

Spotify put together a playlist of what it predicts will be the songs of summer for 2017, and there's something for every summer occasion. While most of them aren't as horribly catchy as "Blurred Lines," there are songs from artists including Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, Niall from One Direction, Liam from One Direction, and Katy Perry.

Here are Spotify's picks for the songs of summer 2017, which you can listen to below:

“Bad Liar” - Selena Gomez

Spotify: "Between the playful coos and seductive beat, Selena Gomez’s brand new song has us all hot and bothered. Spotify listeners took to this track instantly and we predict it’ll be setting the tone for summertime shenanigans everywhere."

“Strip That Down” - Liam Payne ft. Quavo

"Liam Payne’s first post 1D solo offering references everything summer needs: beverages (“Coke and Bacardi”), fast cars (“F1 type Ferrari”) and suggestive dancing (“I love it when your body grinds on me”). Co-written by Ed Sheeran, this track is already the life of the party. "

“I'm The One” - DJ Khaled ft. Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance The Rapper, Lil Wayne

"If you’re looking to kick back beside the pool with a drink in hand and a mission to be worry-free, this is your song. Led by the charismatic DJ Khaled, “I’m The One” is a sunny all-star collaboration about telling a girl she can call off the search for Mr. Right."

“Crying in The Club” - Camila Cabello

"We’ve been looking forward to this moment ever since we found out Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello was going to break out as a soloist. Her debut, “Crying in The Club,” is a smash and we think this stop-feeling-sorry-for-yourself-cuz-you’re-OK song will have you looking up in no time."

“The Cure” - Lady Gaga

"This track has enjoyed a nice, steady build since its April release and we see it hanging around to be your feel-good companion during the warmer months. On this soothing pop gem, Lady Gaga offers to rub our hands, feet and legs. We’ll take it!"

“There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” - Shawn Mendes

"The hook on “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” is so fun and urgent it could influence even the most cautious driver to put the pedal to the metal. Pace yourself, though, because while this Shawn Mendes hit is already making its mark on the charts, it has a lot of gas left in the tank."

“Swish Swish” - Katy Perry ft. Nicki Minaj

"Katy Perry says the newest offering from her upcoming album Witness, is about shaking off negative vibes, and what better place to do that than on the dance floor. Listeners embraced this song from the get-go and we’re pretty sure it’ll be swish swish-ing all the way through summer."

“Mask Off” - Future

"Having surpassed 260 million streams and as a popular feature of Spotify’s Rap Caviar playlist, “Mask Off” is already a monster hit. The track is now breathing new life thanks to a brilliant remixed version featuring Kendrick Lamar."

“Thunder” - Imagine Dragons

"Vegas rock band Imagine Dragons know how to deliver big, bombastic choruses, and this song does that in spades -while also sharing cool sounds from Mother Nature. This track took off in our Rock This playlist so yes, boys, we feel the thunder."

“DNA” - Kendrick Lamar

"Multiple tracks from Kendrick Lamar’s celebrated album DAMN. have been lighting up Spotify charts for weeks. “DNA” is a standout because of its impressive stamina. Listeners had this song on repeat since the beginning, and much like Lamar himself, it’s not showing signs of letting up."

“Slow Hands” - Niall Horan

"You may have noticed the world is suddenly awash with songs from 1D members-gone-solo. While the boys are all doing great things, one of our faves is Irish lad Niall Horan’s “Slow Hands.” Listeners are obsessing over it’s relaxed, sexy vibe."

“Despacito” (Remix) - Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee ft. Justin Bieber

“Malibu” - Miley Cyrus

“1-800-273-8255” - Logic ft. Alessia Cara, Khalid

"Rapper Logic has really struck a chord - and shares an important message - with “1-800-273-8255.” The title is the number to the national suicide prevention hotline in the U.S., and listener support is carrying this song up the charts."

“XO TOUR Llif3” - Lil Uzi Vert

"Fresh off his assist in the chart-topping Migos hit “Bad and Boujee,” Philly rapper Lil Uzi Vert dropped the trap-pop track "XO TOUR Llif3." It’s been building big time and now enjoys more than 2.5 million streams a day. It’s a keeper."
