"Cool for the Summer" was written by Lovato, Alexander Erik Kronlund, Savan Kotecha, Ali Payami and Max Martin, with production held by the two latter.[11] It is a pop[11][12] and pop rock[13][14] song, with a rock edge and an electronic arrangement[14][15] running through a synthesizer beat[16][11] and electric guitar riffs.[17] With this track Lovato returns to her pop rock roots,[18] while breaking new ground for herself with its provocative subject matter.[17][18][19] Thematically, the song is about sexually experimenting with a female lover during summertime.[19] It was noted for being more sexually suggestive than Lovato's previous releases, garnering comparisons to Katy Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl".[8] Tharadjyne Orisma of United Press International noted that the song "makes some pretty racy suggestions".[20]
The track's ambient production consists of a piano melody for the introduction,[17] followed by a buzzing synth beat,[8][17][16][11][19][21] that is accompanied by guitar riffs on the chorus.[17][12][21] Its production was also noted as Lovato's comeback to pop rock music present on her earliest records after releasing her 2011 R&B-infused album Unbroken and 2013's bubblegum pop Demi.[22][23] The song has a moderate tempo of 114 beats per minute. The track is composed in the key of C minor, and Lovato's vocal range spans from the low note of Bb3 to the high note of F5.[24]
Release
Lovato announced the release of "Cool for the Summer" on June 25, 2015, with the single's artwork and the release date, July 1, via Twitter.[25] Emilee Lindner from MTV News commented on the artwork: "The art for the song shows Demi in a strappy suit and faux fur, throwing us the side eye. She gives off an all-knowing, commanding vibe, swinging around her sunglasses without a care."[26]
Although set to premiere July 1, the song leaked one day before its official release date.[11] Following its release, Lovato was accused of copying Jessie J's "Domino" and Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl", with the lyrics "It's okay/I'm a little curious too/Tell me if it's wrong/If it's right/I don't care ... Got a taste for the cherry/I just need to take a bite" being compared to the theme of Perry's "I Kissed a Girl," which was also co-written by Max Martin.[27] In response, Lovato stated the songs sounded nothing alike, and that "I think more than one female artist can kiss a girl and like it".[28]
Critical reception
Yasmeen Gharnit from Nylon calling the song "a blatantly summer song" with "boisterous, cinematic instrumentals and synth beat" that distract from "some straight-out-of-your-middle-school-diary lyrics".[11] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard gave the song a rating of four and a half out of five stars, calling it Lovato's "most self-assured statement to date".[17] Idolator gave an average rating of 7.5 out of 10, writing "from the hook-filled production to the tongue-in-cheek lyrics, it only takes one listen to know that 'Cool for the Summer' is going to be huge."[16] Nolan Feeney from Time stated that "Lovato's sultry vocals and producer Max Martin's Midas touch melt the track's air-conditioned synths into a sweltering, rock-infused banger."[8] Writing for New York, Dee Lockett called it "the most perfectly manufactured Song of Summer maybe ever".[7]
Music video
The music video was directed by Hannah Lux Davis. It was released on July 23, 2015, on Vevo.[29] Christina Garibaldi of MTV deemed the video "seductive, sassy and smokin' hot" and noted the video marked "a new chapter of her career, as she exudes a confidence and sexiness that we haven't seen before."[30] Bianca Gracie of Idolator and Lewis Corner of Digital Spy both thought the video is Lovato's "steamiest".[31][32] Hayden Manders of Nylon wrote that the video "doesn't disappoint, but it somewhat misses the mark" explaining "it's odd that a video for a song about same-sex experimentation features none. You'd have to listen to the lyrics to understand the underlying message of the song because the video shies away from it."[33] New York magazine's Dee Lockett called it "the most sexually liberated video Demi's ever done to go along with its empowering message."[7] The video surpassed 100 million views in October 2015, making it Lovato's ninth Vevo-certified clip.[34]

Lovato first performed the single on the same day of its release, at the Z100's CFTS Release Pool Party in New York City. She subsequently performed the song at other pool parties,[35][36][37][38] including one hosted by 102.7 KIIS-FM, at the WaterMarke Tower in Los Angeles, during which she fell when she tried to jump into the pool.[39] Lovato also performed the song at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Cincinnati on July 11. Lovato gave a performance of "Cool for the Summer" with an all-female band on The Voice Australia on August 9, 2015.[40] The following day, she performed the song on Sunrise.[41] On August 30, 2015, Lovato performed the song at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards with rapper Iggy Azalea.[42] The next day, Lovato sang it on Jimmy Kimmel Live.[43] As one of the headliners of the 2015 NRJ Music Tour, she gave a performance of the track on September 5, 2015 in Saint-Quentin, France.[44] On September 9, 2015, Lovato delivered a more "intimate" version of the song at BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge in London.[45] On September 11, 2015, she was a guest on British comedy chat show Alan Carr: Chatty Man, where she gave another performance.[46] The song was also a part of Lovato's setlist at the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Festival on September 18–19, 2015.[47] Lovato performed a "Cool for the Summer" and "Confident" medley on Saturday Night Live the series' forty-first season on October 17, 2015.[48][49] Lovato's setlist at CBS Radio's 2015 We Can Survive event on October 24, 2015 included the song.[50] Furthermore, "Cool for the Summer" was a part of Lovato's setlist at the 2015 106.1 KISS FM Fall Ball on November 14, 2015 as well as the setlist for the 2015 Jingle Ball Tour.[51][52] On December 31, 2015, as a headliner of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, she performed another medley of "Cool for the Summer" and "Confident" in Times Square.[53] Lovato performed the song on the second edition of the Victoria's Secret Swim Special, which aired on March 9, 2016.[54] On May 14, 2016, Lovato performed "Cool for the Summer" as a part of her setlist at the 2016 edition of Wango Tango.[55] Lovato gave a more soulful rendition of "Cool for the Summer" at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards on May 22, 2016.[56] The song was performed as encore during all shows of the Future Now Tour.[57]The song is featured in the dance video game Just Dance 2016.[58] "Cool for the Summer" was one of the official theme songs for WWE SummerSlam 2015.[59]
