MTV Video Music Award for Song of Summer

The MTV Video Music Award for Song of Summer is an award handed out at the yearly MTV Video Music Awards, first introduced at the 2013 ceremony. It is a social media voted award to crown the song of the summer as determined by fans online.

The award was briefly retired in 2014, the year after its creation, before returning the following year in 2015. The award has been given each year subsequently.
