Your Perfect Pregame Playlist

It’s Friday night. Or Saturday night. Or Tuesday night especially if there’s drink specials. You’re all decked out in your favorite outfit, White Claw in hand, hanging out at the pregame. You made your rounds saying hi to everyone and are catching up with some close friends when that song comes on. That frat guy that wants to be a DJ in another life cranks the volume all the way up and suddenly everyone’s jumping around, dancing, and singing at the top of their lungs. We all know this moment, but that song is different for everyone. Whether you’re throwing the party or just got handed the aux, this playlist will keep you hyped right up until the Uber comes.

For When The Party’s Just Getting Started: Body - Loud Luxury

We’ve got no problem starting off strong here. When everyone starts walking into your pregame, you want them to be excited, not confused as to why they’re there. A popular EDM song that’s a little bit overplayed lets everyone know they’re in the right place. Don’t worry if no one really knows the lyrics; your friends aren’t drunk enough to sing along yet anyway.

For When You Want People To Sing Along: Mr. Brightside - The Killers

Were you expecting anything else? We’ve been singing this one at the top of our lungs since freshman year and have absolutely no shame blasting it at an all-seniors pregame either. I’ve actually never seen someone get upset when this comes on. Huge party foul if you don’t know the lyrics to this one.

For When You’re About To Leave: Circles - Post Malone

At this point, you might have spilled your drink a couple times, you probably can’t find your friends, and you definitely needed to get going half an hour ago. We don’t want to kill your vibe, but you might want to chill everyone out a little before heading out to your Uber. Post’s new single will calm the party down a tiny bit so that your guests will actually hear you when you tell them to Venmo you back for the ride.

Oh, and if all else fails, there’s always Big Bootie.
