Cool for the Summer


"Cool for the Summer" is a 2015 electropop and pop rock track by Demi Lovato, released as the lead single from her fifth studio album Confident. Co-written with Max Martin and Ali Payami, the song features a prominent electric guitar riff during the chorus alongside an electronic instrumental arrangement. That blend of synth-driven production and live guitar energy makes it a practical and enjoyable piece for electric guitarists looking to explore riff-based playing within a modern pop rock context.

  • The electric guitar riff appears during the chorus, making it a focused and repeatable section to isolate and practice.
  • The song was co-written by Max Martin, one of the most influential pop producers and songwriters of the modern era.
  • Released on July 1, 2015, it was the lead single from Demi Lovato's fifth studio album, Confident, on Hollywood Records.
