Backstory:

“Hey Summer” is a laid-back, feel-good country tune about waiting on warm days, blue skies, and the freedom that comes with them. Using summer as both a season and a metaphor, the song captures the frustration of lingering gray weather and the hope that sunshine, heat, and good times are just around the corner—boats on the water, sunsets after nine, and drinks that help you slow down and breathe again. The inspiration struck while Benny was waiting on a call back from a girl named Summer after she’d expressed interest, blurring the line between the season he was craving and the person he couldn’t stop thinking about. That mix of anticipation, optimism, and a little impatience gives the song its easy, relatable charm

Lyrics:

                                                  
Hey Summer
Hey summer, when are you gonna come around?
Knowin’ I love the sound of a boat in the water,
The click and the spin when you caught her.
We like to take it slow.
Hold that sunset way past nine, yeah.
Chorus
I taste the freedom,
Make me believe I’m livin’.
Wine or tequila,
Whatever you need to relax,
Whatever comes what may.
I know parts of you aren’t tan yet.
Verse
Summer,
When you gonna dump that weather?
You’ve been holding in forever,
He never lets you change.
Get your triple digits again, ’cause
I’m ready to sink or swim,
Ain’t got much choice now, do I?
Whatever comes what may.
Chorus
I taste the freedom,
Make me believe I’m bad.
Wine or tequila,
Whatever you need to relax.

Bridge
The sun’s been hiding behind clouds for way too long,
April showers lingered and May just dragged along.
Now it’s July and the heat’s just starting to shine,
But it feels like summer’s late, just like she’s been on my mind.
