*We track the best songs for all your sun kissed, beach babed, cruisin’–with–the–top–down–and–volume–up days.

You don’t have to be from LA to love Best Coast’s latest ditty. Predictably, “The Only Place” is a love song to the Cali-based duo's home state. It's also the first single from their new album, and a sign that the band has changed its hazy, daydream-y ways for happier sounds. The bright, jangly guitar chords signal the beginning of summer fun and the end of school-year sadness. The repetitive lyrics peak with the opening line, but an easy tune makes this an obligatory addition to your summer playlist. Served best with a cold beer and plenty of vitamin D.
