Summer 2025 gave us more than heatwaves and late-night drives; it gave us serious tunes. From beachside beats to TikTok loops, this season's music was diverse. From Jana Diab to Ziad Zaza, summer isn't close to over, but we have seen it all. Here are five tracks that stuck:
Klaminy Belil – Marwan Moussa & Lege-Cy
Released just before summer hit, this track crept into our heads and stayed. It's got that late-night-in-Marina energy with dim lights, half-finished conversations with your situationship, and the kind of lyrics that only make sense at 3 AM. Despite being released before the summer season, this track has made it into the Sahel season.
Wala Meen – Lege-Cy & Ziad Zaza
This one came out of nowhere, but somehow it just works. Lege-Cy and Zaza together bring something soft but intense, with production that's borderline haunting. It's been flooding our TikTok feeds and hitting all the right notes. Along the tunes of Ismail Nusrat, this was the collab we didn't know we needed!
Khatfoony – Amr Diab ft. Jana Diab
The Diabs have come together, and it's the perfect collab. In Khatfoony, Amr brings that timeless, sun-drenched sound we grew up on, while Jana adds a fresh, international twist. It's half Arabic summer classic, half English pop hit, and a complete summer hit everywhere. If there's one song that managed to bridge generations this season, it's this one.
Leih Tala – Tamer Hosny
Tamer knows exactly how to write a song that gets played on repeat without getting annoying, and Leih Tala is no exception. It's slower, calmer, but still hits hard in the lyrics department. From weddings to morning commutes to afternoons by the beach, it fits into just about any setting without trying too hard.
Saniora – Fares Sokar & Saint Levant
Technically, it's not out yet. However, Saniora has already made waves just from live concert snippets and blurry Instagram stories. Saint Levant brings his usual layered intensity, and Fares Sokar brings a sha3by Egyptian twist. Everyone's waiting for the official drop, and honestly, we are too.
