SUMMERThe Carters

SUMMER

If you want to spend a romantic time, I recommend “SUMMER.” It’s a song created by The Carters, the duo formed by Beyoncé and JAY-Z.

It portrays a couple enjoying a seaside vacation, with each of them singing from male and female perspectives.

Listen closely to the back-and-forth between the two; as an actual married couple, their chemistry is perfect.

Another appealing point is the many little Easter eggs, such as the track length being exactly 4 minutes and 44 seconds—matching the title of JAY-Z’s album.
