Summer is the season of adventure, and “Summer Days” by this trio of music industry heavyweights will be your theme song.

Once you hear that first beat drop, you’ll know that this electronic rock tune stands out thanks to its unique element of nostalgia. To sweeten the deal even more, you have to watch the old school MV that’s totally giving Saved By the Bell. (You don’t know SBTB? Tsk. SMH.) *Sigh*, we’ll forgive your cheugyness just this once.
